Go! Mitty.: 滑翔在费特耶的上空Paragliding at Fethiye

来到费特耶一定要做的3件事：
1）滑翔在费特耶的死海（Oludeniz的华文名是死海）上空
2）和美丽的地中海共舞
3）参加越野吉普车行程
3 must DO in Fethiye town:
1) Paragliding
2) Soak yourself in the Mediterranean Sea
3) Join the jeep safari tour

既然马来西亚有那么多的美丽岛屿，我只报名参加滑翔伞和吉普车行程。今天呢，将会和大家分享一些关于滑翔伞的资料和照片。
So, Go!Mitty tried the first and third activity. Today I will share the information and pictures of Paragliding in this blog post. To make it easy to understand and take note with, I will write it as 3 must know facts about Paragliding in Fethiye.
So, here we goes.

滑翔必知1：价钱

Fact #1: The Price

货比三家是Go!Mitty的穷游豪玩原则，所以出发之前我发了几封email给我们在费特耶的宿舍（按此到宿舍链接）和这里的三大滑翔公司（Hector，Reaction和Gravity）。
If you are a budget traveler or stingy traveler like me, then you need to always check with the price of paragliding from the hostel and companies upon departure to get the best deal.
I am stingy in spending my money, but I am not in sharing the information.

以下是我所得到的报价：
Here are the quotations I got:

Quotation from Hostel
Hector: 200TL
Reaction & Gravity: 190TL

Quotation from each companies
Reaction: 90 Euro + 80TL(pictures OR videos), 120TL (both pictures and videos)
Gravity: 230TL + 130TL(DVD with pictures and videos)
Hector: 180TL + 130TL(DVD with pictures and videos)

我所得到的报价都是包括上山的入门票和酒店接送服务。到最后，我们选择了Hector家的配套，180里拉，但是照片和video价钱却比之前的报价高了些许（150里拉）。
All the quotations I got includes entrance fee to the mountain and transport from hotel.
We actually book the Hector paragliding through hostel, and we paid 180TL for the paragliding and 150TL for the DVD with pictures and videos.

温馨提醒：一定要和酒店或公司确定上山
Tips: Always double confirm whether the entrance fee to the mountain and pictures/videos are included in your package to avoid misunderstanding.

滑翔必知2：时间

Fact #2: The Time

基本上，这里的滑翔公司都有5个飞行时间(早上9点，11点半和下午的1点半，3点半和5点半）。根据我所得到的资料，早上11点和下午1点半的气流佳所以可以飞最久）。
They fly 5 times per day (9am, 11am, 1:30pm, 15:30pm and 17:30pm). Based on the information I got online, the best time to fly is 11am and 1:30pm one, because the air thermal activity is stable thus can fly longer.
以下是Reaction公司所给予我的资料（PS：原来有maximum weight的）：
Anyway, this is the extra information given by the Reaction Paragliding company:
"Just note please that people who are more than 100 kilo can fly only at 11:00, 13:30, 15:30 because we need little more wind at take off for them, max weight is 115 Kg. The whole thing including going up the mountain, getting ready at the top and the flight will take about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The flight itself lasts approximately 25-45 minutes."

滑翔必知3：滑翔在空中

Fact #3: Flying in the sky

我们预定了早上11点的配套，所以Hector在早上8点半就来hostel载送我们了。我们被带到Hector公司后，他们会播放如何起飞和降落的影像给我们看；之后我们便乘坐小巴上Babadag山，我们也在车上抽签决定我们的飞行师。一抵达飞行点，飞行师就立刻为飞行做好准备（开伞，帮我们戴安全帽~）。我们的任务很简单，只要听从他们的只是就可以了。So，我的飞行师一喊：“123，跑！”，我就小跑2步（真的只有2步哦！）就已经飞上天空了~~
We booked the 11am ride and the transport picked us up from hotel at 830am. We were brought to the Hector office and videos on how to take off and landing were shown. Then, we took the transport to Babadag Mountain. We will draw lots to pick our pilot along the way to flying point. Upon arrival, the pilot will set up the set in lightning speed. Then we just need to listen to the pilot command, "Run when I said Run". So, when my pilot shout RUN, I ran for 2 steps(trust me, only 2 steps~) and tadaa I am flying on the sky like a bird.

飞行的时候，除了用眼睛欣赏眼前的美景，也可以和你的飞行师聊天。另外我的飞行师也让我尝试了花式滑翔（可以到我的FB专页看video）。
Enjoy the beautiful scenery at the sky and chit chat with your pilot. My pilot did acrobat paragliding(Video can be watch at my FB page.)

温馨提醒：滑翔时，不能携带自己的相机和手机。
Gentle reminder: We are not allow to bring our own phone and camera during paragliding.

好啦，分享完毕。看照片吧！有问题的话，可以留言发问哦~
