Nha Trang Paragliding Guide

⏳Best time to fly: - Season: Nha Trang's peak season is from January to August, when the weather is warm and the sky is clear, making it suitable for paragliding. The weather is pleasant from January to March, the sea is calm from April to June, making it more suitable for water sports, and it is hotter from July to August, but the nightlife is rich. - Time: In the early morning and evening, the ground heat is not fully received, and the air currents are relatively stable, making it suitable for new students to practice take-off and landing. Near noon, the ground air is heated and expanded, and it is easy to form updrafts, which is more suitable for advanced and mature pilots to fly in hot air currents. 📍Flight location: Hon Tam Island is a well-developed island around Nha Trang, and there are paragliding activities on the island.
