If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush in a controlled environment, a gyrocopter flight over Sarajevo is an adventure you can’t miss.
A gyrocopter is a unique hybrid of a helicopter and an airplane—an open two-seater aircraft. Its rotor is powered by air flow, not the engine, ensuring that even in case of engine failure, the gyrocopter can safely glide and land. This innovative design makes it both exciting and safe for adventure enthusiasts.
With a minimum speed of 35 km/h and a cruising speed of up to 120 km/h, a gyrocopter flight offers an unparalleled panoramic view of Sarajevo and its picturesque surroundings, allowing you to experience the city from an entirely new perspective.
The flights are organized by the experienced team at FUNFLY and are tailored to suit the passenger’s preferences. Flight prices vary based on duration, making it accessible for different budgets. Whether you’re conquering a fear of heights or seeking a liberating aerial experience, this adventure is a must-try.
