One of the best things to do when traveling to Weligama is to experience paragliding and explore the landscape from the sky. Take the afternoon off to drift across the stunning Weligama bay skylines over the clear blue sea of Weligama beach and bay admire the island’s paradise-like beauty all around you. Here's a memory that's sure to be etched in your memory: the Weligama sun setting in front of you, the sea below you, the shoreline beside you as people scattered beneath you look up to enjoy the scenic view.

Paragliding is the simplest form of human flight. A paraglider is a non-motorized, foot-launched inflatable wing. It is easy to transport, easy to launch, and easy to land. The paraglider itself is constructed of rip-stop nylon from which the pilot is suspended by sturdy kevlar lines. Most people think that learning to fly a paraglider is a difficult thing to do and in fact, it is really quite easy and safe. Traveler can make paragliding, like most adventure sports, as safe or dangerous as you want. It is of course crucial that you receive instruction from a certified professional and use safe equipment - professional schools will create as controlled a learning environment as possible.

Local and foreign tourists in the south had a novel experience when a fly boat service was introduced at Weligama in 2016. The boat which could be used to fly and to travel by sea was introduced by the German Sky Walkers' organization.

The launches and landings are slow and gentle and, once in the air, most people are surprised by how quiet and peaceful the experience is. The launches will be done using Pragalider on Polwatta river and Paramotor done in Weligama beach. If the idea of watching the sunset from a comfortable seat in the air, supported by the buoyant evening air, with perhaps an eagle or hawk joining you off your wing tip, appeals to you, then paragliding is for you.
