About this experience

Come and enjoy the gentleness of open-air flight in an autogyro, insensitive to turbulence, with a 360-degree panorama to admire the beauty of the lagoons and shores of Guadeloupe. Very stable, pleasant and safe flight (the autogyro can glide and land without an engine). You can open your arms to feel free as a bird. An unforgettable experience flying over heavenly landscapes
