Paragliding in Oslob — The Ultimate Cebu Adventure
If you're looking for the most exhilarating activity in Cebu, paragliding in Oslob should be at the top of your list. Oslob Cebu Paragliding Development (OCPD) is the premier paragliding site in the Visayas, offering tandem flights that let you soar over mountains, coastline, and the sparkling Bohol Sea — all without any prior experience.
Where Is the Paragliding Site?
OCPD is located along Can-anao Road, Poblacion, Oslob, Cebu 6025. The takeoff site sits at an elevation of 1,739 feet (530 meters) above sea level, offering unobstructed 360-degree views of:
- The Bohol Sea and Bohol Island to the east
- Negros Island to the west
- The Cebu mountain range running north and south
- The town of Oslob and its coastline below
Paragliding Packages and Prices (2025-2026)
OCPD offers three tandem flight packages to suit every budget:
Package A — PHP 3,500
The standard tandem flight experience. Fly with a certified pilot for 8-15 minutes (depending on weather). Perfect for first-timers who want the full paragliding experience at an affordable price.
Package B — PHP 4,000
Everything in Package A plus GoPro video documentation of your flight. Relive every moment — from takeoff to landing — in HD quality. The video is sent to you digitally after the flight.
Package C — PHP 4,800
The premium experience. Includes the tandem flight, GoPro video, plus professional photos taken during the flight. This is the most popular package for travelers who want the full content for social media.
What to Expect During Your Flight
Before Takeoff
You'll receive a safety briefing from your pilot, get fitted into the harness, and learn the simple takeoff procedure: run forward when the pilot says "go." That's it — the pilot handles everything else.
In the Air
Once airborne, you'll feel the rush of leaving the ground, followed by the most peaceful sensation — floating silently above the world. The views are extraordinary: emerald mountains, turquoise sea, tiny boats below, and clouds at eye level. Most passengers describe it as a life-changing experience.
Landing
Your pilot guides you to a smooth landing at the designated landing zone. Just lift your legs and touch down — it's gentle and controlled.
Is Paragliding Safe?
Absolutely. OCPD has maintained a 100% safety record since its founding in 2018. All pilots are licensed and certified with hundreds of flight hours. Key safety measures include:
- Daily weather monitoring — flights only proceed in safe conditions
- Regular equipment inspection and maintenance
- Comprehensive passenger briefing before every flight
- Reserve parachute on every harness
- Maximum wind speed limits strictly enforced
What to Wear and Bring
- Shoes: Closed-toe sneakers or hiking shoes (no sandals or flip-flops)
- Clothing: Comfortable, not too loose. Long pants recommended to prevent harness rub
- Sunscreen: The sun at elevation is strong
- Sunglasses: Optional but recommended (secure strap suggested)
- Camera: Not necessary — the pilot or GoPro captures everything
Best Time to Fly
Paragliding is available year-round in Oslob, but the best months are March to May (Philippine summer) when thermals are strongest and rain is rare. Morning slots (9-11 AM) offer calmer conditions, while afternoon slots (2-4 PM) may provide longer flights due to thermal activity.
