Bali paragliding for couples means two individual tandem seats booked together, not one shared glider — partners fly separately, usually back-to-back from the same Bukit Peninsula launch, on published per-person rates from Timbis, Bali Paragliding Tours or RIUG. JHG totals both seats, confirms the operator and time slot in writing, and arranges one shared pickup before you pay.
What Does “Paragliding for Couples” Actually Mean in Bali?
Every tandem operator on the Bukit Peninsula flies one glider per trip: one licensed pilot and one passenger. Indonesian aviation-sport rules require every pilot who flies tandem in Bali, local or visiting, to hold current FASI Paralayang membership; a visiting pilot additionally needs a KITAS and written approval from the FASI Paralayang chairman before flying paying passengers, according to the FASI Paralayang visitor-pilot page (paragliding.web.id/public/pilot_visitor, Sep 2026). So a couple never shares one wing — booking “for two” means two solo tandem flights, timed back-to-back from the same launch so each partner can watch the other take off and land.
JHG treats a couples booking as two seats on the same operator’s schedule, matched to whichever Bukit site is flyable that month, priced from the operator’s own published rate card, and confirmed with the operator before either partner pays.
How Much Do Two Bali Paragliding Seats Cost?
No operator sells a line item called “couples” — every figure below is a single-person tandem rate, current as of September 2026 unless marked otherwise, and subject to change without notice.
| Operator / product | Duration | Published price (per person) | Source, date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timbis Paragliding — Pandawa Beach | ~15 min flight | Rp 1,000,000 | timbis.com, Sep 2026 |
| Timbis Paragliding — Candidasa route | ~15-20 min flight | quoted on request | timbis.com, Sep 2026 |
| Timbis via Hotel Nikko Bali reseller | 15 min | Rp 1,100,000 (listed “valid until March 31, 2025” — treat as historical reference) | Hotel Nikko Bali article, 26 Apr 2024 |
| Bali Paragliding Tours (Uluwatu/Nusa Dua) | 15 or 30 min | Rp 850,000-1,800,000 | Operator site, Sep 2026 |
| RIUG Paragliding (Nusa Dua/Sawangan) | ~15 min | quoted on requestWNI/KITAS, quoted on requestforeign; from US$53 | riugparagliding.com / GetYourGuide, Sep 2026 |
Multiply by two for a joint booking — this is arithmetic on the published rates above, not a separate operator product:
| Two-seat combination | What each partner books | Two-person total (published rates) | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two Timbis Pandawa Beach seats | 2x ~15-min solo tandem flight | quoted on request | 2 x Rp 1,000,000 published rate |
| Two Bali Paragliding Tours seats (15-min) | 2x 15-min solo tandem flight | quoted on request | 2 x Rp 850,000-1,000,000 band |
| Two RIUG seats (foreign visitors) | 2x ~15-min solo tandem flight | quoted on request | 2 x quoted on requestpublished foreign rate |
| Post-flight Uluwatu Temple or Jimbaran dinner | Separate JHG-arranged booking | Quote on request | Booked with a JHG partner, not the paragliding operator |
JHG reconfirms the live rate for both seats directly with the operator before you pay, since promo pricing moves through the year and a reseller figure can lapse — the Hotel Nikko Bali rate above was published with an expiry date and should not be assumed current.
Which Site and Time Slot Fits a Joint Booking?
Season decides which cliff is flying, so JHG matches a couple’s date to whichever launch is active that month.
| Site | Peak wind season | Daily hours | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timbis (Kutuh, South Kuta) | South to South-West wind, April-October | 12:00-17:00 daily | FASI flysite registry (paragliding.web.id); Hotel Nikko Bali listing |
| Pandawa Beach launch | Same window as Timbis | 12:00-17:00 daily | Timbis Paragliding product listing |
| Uluwatu-area cliffs / “Ulu” site | West Wind Season, November-March | Closes roughly 16:00-17:00 | baliparaglidingtandem.com |
| RIUG site (Sawangan) / RIUG’s Uluwatu site | RIUG site Apr-Sep, Uluwatu site Oct-Mar | 11:00-17:00 Tue-Sun, 12:00-17:00 Mon | RIUG Paragliding (PT Tritunggal Bali Angkasa) |
A couple booking April-October flies from Timbis or Pandawa Beach; a couple booking November-March flies the Uluwatu-area site instead. Every operator above finishes flying between 16:00 and 17:00 — well before Bali’s roughly 18:00-18:30 sunset — so no Bukit operator publishes a true sunset departure. If warm late-afternoon light matters to you, ask JHG for the last available slot of the day rather than a “sunset” booking, and expect the site and hour to move with the season.
What Photo and Video Options Cover Both Flights?
Footage is captured per flight, not per couple, and the format differs by operator:
- Timbis Paragliding — photos and video delivered on a memory card per booking (Hotel Nikko Bali reseller listing, Apr 2024)
- RIUG Paragliding — a GoPro HERO9 lent for the flight (GetYourGuide listing 788417, Sep 2026)
- Bali Paragliding Tours — an action camera on a selfie stick included in the rate (operator site, Sep 2026)
Because each partner flies a separate trip, ask JHG to confirm in writing whether the operator issues one footage set per flight — two sets total for a couple — or can combine both into a single file, before you book.
How Does JHG Book a Joint Couples Slot?
- Message the JHG concierge desk on WhatsApp with both partners’ approximate body weights, your preferred date, and your hotel zone.
- JHG checks the same-day schedule at Timbis or Pandawa Beach (April-October) or the Uluwatu-area site (November-March) and matches you with a licensed operator and its own FASI-registered pilot.
- JHG sends a written quote covering both seats, footage format, pickup, and any add-on such as a post-flight Uluwatu Temple visit or a Jimbaran beach dinner reserved through a JHG partner, before you pay.
- On the day, check in at the stated time — Timbis and RIUG both budget 30-50 minutes on-site per flight — and fly back-to-back from the same launch.
- Receive each partner’s photos or video per the confirmed format, then continue to any add-on JHG arranged separately from the flight itself.
Ready to lock two seats together? WhatsApp the JHG concierge desk at +62 811-3941-4563 ([email protected]) with both partners’ weights, your date, and your hotel zone. JHG is an independent booking desk: Juara Holding Group arranges your flights with a licensed Bukit Peninsula operator and confirms every price before you pay. JHG does not fly you and is not the paragliding operator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can couples fly together on one paraglider?
No. Every Bukit Peninsula operator flies one pilot and one passenger per wing, so a couples booking is always two separate flights, usually scheduled back-to-back from the same launch rather than one shared glider.
Can both flights be booked into the last slot of the day?
Only if that day’s queue and wind window allow two consecutive departures before closing. Timbis closes at 17:00 daily, RIUG at 17:00 Tuesday-Sunday (12:00-17:00 Monday), and Bali Paragliding Tours at 16:00. JHG requests back-to-back slots but confirms availability with the operator on the day itself.
Is hotel-zone pickup shared for both partners, or charged twice?
Pickup is arranged per vehicle, not per person, on the routes an operator publishes. Timbis’s Klook listing, for example, offers free pickup in Nusa Dua, Pecatu, Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Kerobokan, Denpasar and Sanur, with a surcharge for Canggu/Berawa or for Ubud, Gianyar, Tabanan and Tanah Lot. Couples riding together in one car are not billed for two separate pickups.
Can the photo or video package cover both partners’ flights?
Not automatically. Footage tiers — a memory card at Timbis, a GoPro at RIUG, an action camera at Bali Paragliding Tours — are issued per flight, so a couple typically ends up with two separate sets, one per partner. Confirm with JHG whether the operator can combine both into a single file before you book.
Do both partners need to send their weight before booking?
Yes. Each flight is assessed on its own passenger weight, and published combined pilot-passenger limits differ by operator: around 115 kg at Timbis per the Hotel Nikko Bali listing, up to 110 kg at Bali Paragliding Tours, and up to 118 kg on RIUG’s GetYourGuide listing. JHG asks for both partners’ approximate weights before requesting a slot.
