Bali Paragliding Photos and Video: What’s Included

Most Bukit Peninsula operators film your tandem flight for you: timbis.com’s USD 110 package includes photos and video with government tax, Bali Paragliding Tours includes an action camera on a selfie stick, RIUG Paragliding lends a GoPro HERO9, and baliparaglidingtandem.com lists GoPro documentation as standard. Where a separate GoPro tier exists, Balitouristic’s July 2026 guide prices it at IDR 1,300,000-1,700,000, above the IDR 800,000-1,200,000 basic flight.

What’s actually included at each Bukit operator?

Coverage varies by operator, by package, and sometimes by which reseller you book through. Here’s what’s published as of September 2026.

Prices and inclusions shift by season and by which promo a reseller is running. Before you commit, JHG’s desk gets the operator to confirm the current media inclusion in writing for your date.

Is video included in the price?

At most operators, yes. Timbis’s own listing, Bali Paragliding Tours, RIUG, Klook’s Timbis listing and baliparaglidingtandem.com all bundle photo or video coverage into the base price rather than charging it separately. The exception is where an operator sells two tiers, basic and “with GoPro,” as Balitouristic’s July 2026 pricing shows for at least one Bukit operator, at roughly IDR 500,000 above the basic flight.

What differs more than the yes/no is format: a handheld action camera on a selfie stick (Bali Paragliding Tours), a lent GoPro HERO9 (RIUG), or “photos and video” with no further detail (timbis.com). None of the public listings specify resolution, clip count, or whether you get raw footage or an edited highlight reel, so treat “included” as confirmed coverage, not a guaranteed edit style, until the operator confirms it for your booking.

Can I use my own GoPro?

Public listings don’t state a blanket “no,” and RIUG’s practice of lending a GoPro HERO9 suggests cameras attached to pilot or passenger are routine on the Bukit sites. Nothing is strapped to you without the pilot’s say-so on the day, though, because loose items at a cliff launch are a safety issue.

• Anything you carry must be secured (wrist strap, chest mount, or the operator’s own rig), never held loose: Timbis’s launch sits at 70 m ASL with a 100 m launch-to-landing run per the FASI flysite registry, leaving no room for a dropped item.
• A device not built for the harness can be declined by the pilot on the day; this is a pilot call, not a published policy, and JHG cannot override it.
• If your own footage matters, say so when you request the slot, so the desk can ask the specific operator whether personal cameras are permitted that day.

Are drone shots allowed?

Not by default. Perda Bali 9/2000 restricts kites and similar airborne objects within 5-30 nautical miles of Ngurah Rai airport, a radius that covers the whole Bukit Peninsula where every tourist tandem site sits. A personal drone near an active launch also risks conflicting with the wing itself, and near Pura Gunung Payung there are further site-specific restrictions tied to the cultural park that shares land with Timbis’s launch area. Want your own drone footage of the flight? Ask JHG to check with the operator and local desa adat before you fly one, rather than launching on-site unannounced.

How do I receive the files?

Delivery method isn’t published consistently. The Hotel Nikko Bali reseller article describes a memory card handed over with your certificate; other operator sites and reseller listings confirm photos or video are included without stating whether you get a card, a phone transfer, or a link. Because this changes operator to operator, JHG’s desk asks the delivery method before you pay and puts the answer in the same written confirmation as your flight time and price.

How booking works

1. Tell the JHG desk your date, flight window, and whether the photo/video package matters to your booking.
2. The desk checks wind, site availability (Timbis’s FASI season runs April-October on South to South-West wind) and the operator’s current media inclusion for that date.
3. You get written confirmation of price, flight time, and exactly what media is included before you pay anything.
4. You fly, and receive your files the way the operator confirmed.
5. If anything wasn’t delivered as agreed, tell the desk; JHG follows up with the operator on your behalf.

JHG is an independent booking and coordination desk, established 2015, not a paragliding operator and not affiliated with any operator named on this page. It arranges tandem flights with licensed Bukit operators and confirms each operator’s media inclusion before you book; it does not own cameras, film flights, or produce its own footage.

Message the Juara Holding Group concierge desk on WhatsApp at 6281139414563, or email [email protected], with your preferred date and whether photos and video matter to your choice of operator. The desk checks the current inclusion and price before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every Bukit paragliding operator include video in the price?

Most do: timbis.com, Bali Paragliding Tours, RIUG Paragliding and Klook’s Timbis listing all bundle photo or video coverage into the standard tandem price. The exception is where an operator sells a separate GoPro tier above its basic flight, as shown in Balitouristic’s July 2026 pricing guide. Confirm the specific inclusion for your chosen operator and date before paying, since packages change.

Can I bring my own GoPro or phone to film the flight?

There’s no published blanket rule against it, and RIUG’s practice of lending a GoPro HERO9 suggests cameras are routine on these flights. Whether your own device is allowed on a given day is the pilot’s on-the-day safety call, tied to secure mounting rather than loose handheld items at a cliff launch. Ask JHG to confirm with the specific operator before you count on it.

How long after the flight do I get my photos and video?

Delivery timing isn’t stated in any public operator listing reviewed as of September 2026. The Hotel Nikko Bali reseller article describes a memory card handed over with your certificate, which implies same-day delivery for that operator, but this isn’t confirmed across the whole Bukit market. JHG asks the operator directly and confirms delivery method and timing in writing before you book.

Is there an extra charge for a GoPro package?

At some operators, yes. Balitouristic’s 8 July 2026 aggregate guide shows a basic flight at IDR 800,000-1,200,000 against a GoPro-inclusive tier at IDR 1,300,000-1,700,000, a gap of roughly IDR 500,000. Other operators, including timbis.com’s USD 110 listing and Bali Paragliding Tours’ action-camera inclusion, fold photo or video coverage into a single price with no separate camera fee.

Can I fly a drone to film my own tandem flight?

Not by default. Perda Bali 9/2000 restricts kites and similar airborne objects within 5-30 nautical miles of Ngurah Rai airport, which covers the entire Bukit Peninsula, and a drone near an active paragliding launch risks conflicting with the wing itself. Near Pura Gunung Payung there are additional site-specific restrictions. Ask JHG to check with the operator and local desa adat before flying a personal drone on-site.
