As of September 2026, published tandem paragliding rates on Bali’s Bukit Peninsula run from about US$53 for a roughly 15-minute flight (GetYourGuide’s listing for RIUG, Sawangan) up to Rp 1,800,000 for a 30-minute flight through Bali Paragliding Tours. Timbis lists Rp 1,000,000 direct at timbis.com, or USD 110 with insurance, photos and video bundled in; Klook’s Timbis Beach package runs US$85.89.
Every tourist tandem flight in Bali launches from the Bukit Peninsula, Kuta Selatan, Badung — there is no other site on the island that markets to visitors. The prices below are public operator and OTA listings as of September 2026 and can change without notice. Juara Holding Group (JHG) is an independent booking and coordination desk, not a paragliding operator or pilot — any quote we send is checked against current partner rates, not a fixed tariff.
How Much Is Tandem Paragliding In Bali Right Now?
Ten price points, pulled from operator sites, an aggregator and the OTAs reselling them, show where the market sits in September 2026.
| Source | Site / route | Flight length | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| timbis.com (direct) | Fly Tandem Above Pandawa Beach | 15 min, shown as a 1-hour slot | Rp 1,000,000 |
| timbis.com (direct) | Fly Tandem Above Candidasa | 1-hour slot | quoted on request |
| timbis.com product page | Pandawa Beach, USD rate | 15 min | USD 110 (insurance, photo/video, govt tax) |
| Hotel Nikko Bali reseller (26 Apr 2024) | Timbis ticket | 15 min | Rp 1,100,000 |
| Bali Paragliding Tours | Uluwatu cliff / Nusa Dua beach | 15 min | Rp 850,000 |
| Bali Paragliding Tours | Uluwatu cliff / Nusa Dua beach | 30 min | Rp 1,800,000 |
| GetYourGuide | RIUG, Nusa Dua Tandem Paragliding (product 788417) | approx. 15 min | from US$53 (og:price 52.72) |
| Klook | Timbis Beach | 10 min | US$85.89 (min. 2 people, incl. transfer) |
| Balitouristic aggregate, basic tier | Bukit operators, general | 10-25 min | Rp 800,000-1,200,000 (~USD 50-80) |
| Balitouristic aggregate, GoPro tier | Bukit operators, general | 10-25 min | Rp 1,300,000-1,700,000 (~USD 85-110) |
Two patterns explain the spread. A 15-minute flight, a 10-minute flight and a 30-minute flight are different products, not the same flight priced differently — Klook’s Timbis Beach listing quotes 10 minutes of fly time where Timbis’s own site quotes 15, and Bali Paragliding Tours’ 30-minute option costs roughly double its 15-minute one (Rp 1,800,000 versus Rp 850,000). And the lowest number on the list, GetYourGuide’s US$53 for RIUG, belongs to a different operator flying from Gunung Riug in Sawangan — it isn’t a discount on Timbis or Bali Paragliding Tours, just a separate site entirely.
Why Do Prices Differ By Site?
Timbis Paragliding Bali — a business unit of BUMDA Desa Adat Kutuh since 1995 — flies from Timbis or Gunung Payung, with free pickup around Kuta, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua and Uluwatu folded into its published rate. RIUG (PT Tritunggal Bali Angkasa, Sawangan) rotates sites with the wind: its Gunung Riug site runs the dry-season SE-SW wind from April to September, switching to a site near Uluwatu from October to March. baliparaglidingtandem.com follows the same logic — its Tanah Barak site is best April to October, its Ulu site takes over for the November-March West Wind Season. The FASI flysite registry records the reference site, “Timbis – Nusa Dua Bali” in Kutuh, launching at roughly 70 m above sea level with a south to south-southwest wind and a published season of April-October. A site that only runs part of the year, or that rotates between two launches, tends to price differently than one flying a single spot year-round.
What Is Included In The Price?
“Price” rarely means the same bundle twice. Timbis’s USD 110 rate covers insurance, photos and video with government tax, plus free pickup across Kuta, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua and Uluwatu, flying from Timbis or Gunung Payung. RIUG lends a GoPro HERO9, carries insurance up to Rp 250 million, and — per its own site — its pilots, not the passenger, decide who flies and when; the flight isn’t suitable for children under 5, guests over 118 kg, pregnant guests or certain health conditions. Bali Paragliding Tours includes an action camera with selfie stick and insurance but excludes transport and meals, asks for 12 hours’ cancellation notice, and caps the flight at ages 5-60 and 110 kg. Klook’s Timbis Beach package bundles the Pandawa Beach ticket, round-trip hotel transfer, insurance and photo/video into its US$85.89 rate for a minimum of two people, ages 5 to under 66, weight 40-110 kg.
| Pickup / extra | Detail |
|---|---|
| Timbis direct — Kuta, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu | Free |
| Klook (Timbis Beach) — Nusa Dua, Pecatu, Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Kerobokan, Denpasar, Sanur | Free |
| Klook surcharge — Canggu / Berawa | Rp 300,000 per car |
| Klook surcharge — Ubud / Gianyar / Tabanan / Tanah Lot | Rp 600,000 per car |
| Bali Paragliding Tours | Transport not included; fee not published |
Is It Cheaper Direct Or Via OTA?
Not consistently, and the comparisons aren’t apples-to-apples. Klook’s Timbis Beach package (US$85.89, minimum two people) undercuts timbis.com’s own direct USD 110 rate for the same operator, even though it bundles round-trip transfer and quotes five fewer minutes of fly time — 10 versus 15. RIUG, a separate operator flying from Gunung Riug in Sawangan, lists on GetYourGuide at a different rate, but that’s a different site and pilot team, not a discount on Timbis. Before assuming direct beats OTA, or the reverse, check the exact minutes, the pickup zone and what’s bundled in — not just the sticker price.
Are There Nationality-Based Prices?
Yes, at least at RIUG. GetYourGuide’s listing for RIUG’s tandem flight (product 788417) sells two options on the same page — “Foreign” and “Indonesia/KITAS” — with the advertised from-price of US$53 (og:price 52.72) sitting at the lower end. RIUG’s own site and its GetYourGuide listing don’t publish the second figure on the pages we checked as of September 2026, so if a WNI or KITAS holder is booking alongside a foreign passport holder, ask the JHG desk to confirm both rates before you commit. None of the other operators in this guide — Timbis, Bali Paragliding Tours, Klook’s Timbis Beach package — publish a nationality split; each lists one rate per package.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 15-minute tandem paragliding flight cost in Bali?
A flight sold as roughly 15 minutes runs from about US$53 on GetYourGuide’s listing for RIUG (Sawangan) up to Rp 1,000,000 direct through timbis.com, or USD 110 on the same Timbis product page once insurance, photos and video are bundled in. Balitouristic’s aggregate puts the general basic tier at Rp 800,000-1,200,000 (about USD 50-80), as of September 2026. Confirm the exact minutes before booking — “15 minutes” isn’t identical across listings.
Is it cheaper to book Bali paragliding directly with the operator or through an OTA?
Not consistently. Klook’s Timbis Beach package, at US$85.89 for a minimum of two people, undercuts timbis.com’s own direct USD 110 rate even though it bundles round-trip transfer — but it also quotes 10 minutes of fly time against Timbis’s own 15. Compare exact minutes and inclusions on each listing, not just the headline number, before assuming direct or OTA wins.
Does RIUG really charge foreign visitors a different rate than Indonesian residents?
GetYourGuide’s listing for RIUG’s tandem flight sells separate “Foreign” and “Indonesia/KITAS” options on the same page, with the advertised from-price of US$53 sitting at the lower end; the exact foreign-passport figure isn’t published on the pages we checked as of September 2026. None of the other Bukit operators in this guide — Timbis, Bali Paragliding Tours, Klook’s Timbis Beach package — publish a nationality split.
What extra costs come on top of the flight price?
Pickup is the main variable. Timbis includes free pickup across Kuta, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua and Uluwatu, and Klook’s Timbis Beach package covers the same zones plus Pecatu, Legian, Seminyak, Kerobokan, Denpasar and Sanur for free — but charges Rp 300,000 per car for Canggu/Berawa and Rp 600,000 per car for Ubud, Gianyar, Tabanan or Tanah Lot. Bali Paragliding Tours excludes transport from its rate without publishing a fee; ask JHG to confirm your zone before booking.
Does paying more always mean a longer or better flight?
Within one operator, yes — Bali Paragliding Tours’ 30-minute flight (Rp 1,800,000) costs roughly double its 15-minute option (Rp 850,000), so price tracks flight length there. Across operators it’s less reliable: Klook’s 10-minute Timbis Beach package costs more than some 15-minute listings once transfer and a two-person minimum are factored in, so check inclusions and minutes, not just the number, before comparing.
