What Happens If You're Too Heavy for Paragliding?

March 24, 2026 admin

Over the Weight Limit?

The weight limit for tandem paragliding at OCPD is approximately 100 kg (220 lbs). What if you're over?

What Happens

The pilot will assess you on-site. Weight isn't the only factor — wind conditions matter too. On a strong wind day, heavier passengers can sometimes fly. On a calm day, the margin is tighter.

If You Can't Fly

Don't worry — you can still enjoy:

  • The viewing deck — Watch others fly from 1,739 feet elevation
  • The cafe — Great food with incredible mountain/sea views
  • Whale shark watching — No weight limit
  • Tumalog Falls — No weight limit
  • Camping — The mountain campsite is available regardless

Working Toward the Goal

If you're close to the limit, consider it motivation. Many people use "paragliding in Oslob" as their fitness goal — something to work toward. When you're ready, the sky will be waiting.
