Paragliding Adventure
Albatross 3N4D
Exchange paragliding program
Program Overview
The SKYRiders Program
The SKYRiders Program is an international paragliding exchange initiative designed to invite overseas pilots and clubs to Korea.
Participants tour multiple flying sites, fly together with local pilots, and experience Korean culture, cuisine, and community exchange in a safe and well-organized environment.
International flights and personal flying equipment are not included.
However, accommodation, local transportation, meals, and on-site operational support are fully managed by the SKYRiders operating team, allowing participants to focus entirely on flying and cultural exchange while we take care of the most demanding and inconvenient aspects of local travel.
This program is operated on a non-profit, cost-based basis during a pilot operation period.
Detailed information regarding the operating period and pilot operation status will be finalized and provided after internal review.

Meals & Local Experience
Shared meals, real exchange
Meals during the SKYRiders Program are provided as part of on-site operational support, allowing participants to focus on flying, rest, and pilot exchange without the burden of planning or logistics.
Most meals are shared as group meals, creating natural opportunities for communication and cultural exchange between overseas pilots, local pilots, and the SKYRiders operating team.
Depending on the program flow and local conditions, meals may include welcome dinners, group banquets, and casual local dining experiences.
In addition to flying, participants may experience selected local activities such as cultural visits, short sightseeing stops, or informal community interactions.
These activities are designed to support rest, recovery, and meaningful exchange, rather than structured tourism.
All meal and local experience arrangements are flexible and may be adjusted based on weather conditions, daily flight schedules, and safety considerations.
