Paragliding Adventure
Albatross 8N9D
Exchange paragliding program
Program Overview
The SKYRiders Program
(8 Nights / 9 Days) is an international exchange program that invites overseas pilots and clubs to Korea to tour multiple flying sites, fly together, and safely experience Korean culture, cuisine, and community exchange.
This program excludes airfare and personal flying equipment, while accommodation, transportation, meals, and on-site operational support are fully handled by the operating team — taking care of the most inconvenient and demanding parts of traveling locally.
Information regarding the operating period, pilot operation status, and the non-profit, cost-based operation statement 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.
