Takeoff
The gallery begins just after takeoff from the Lovćen route and then opens into the wider Bay view.

See the Kotor flight from Lovćen to the Bay
These photos follow the route from the high Lovćen start into the Bay of Kotor: first moments after takeoff, wide mountain-and-water views, St John Fortress, Old Town and the lower approach.
Short answer: The Kotor tandem route starts high on the Lovćen slope and descends toward the Bay. These images show the changing perspective along the way — mountains and water first, then St John Fortress, Kotor Old Town, the marina and the bay shore as the flight comes lower.
The gallery sequence
High route
St John Fortress and the Old Town appear progressively larger as the flight descends toward Kotor.
Lower route
Passenger images show the normal seated tandem position with the pilot behind.
From mountain takeoff to Kotor below
The gallery follows the Kotor flight roughly in the order you experience it.
At first, the launch slope and mountain terrain are still close. Then the view opens into the Bay: water, steep rock and settlements along the shore. As the flight comes lower, St John Fortress, Kotor Old Town, the marina and waterfront become the main landmarks.
The exact line changes with the conditions, so think of this as the character of the route rather than a frame-by-frame promise for every flight.
The first minutes are the widest
From the high Lovćen start, the scale is the first thing you notice. The Bay sits far below between mountain walls, and Kotor can look surprisingly small.
On a clear day, this is the part of the flight where the wider geography is easiest to understand.
Fortress and Old Town become the reference
As you descend, the view becomes more local. St John Fortress and its walls sit on the steep slope above the Old Town. Roofs, roads, boats and the waterfront begin to separate into individual details.
This change from a huge Bay panorama to a very recognisable town below is one of the things that gives the Kotor route its character.
What tandem feels like visually
You sit in the front harness with the pilot behind you. After takeoff there is no need to keep running or hold yourself up; you settle into a seated flying position.
The passenger photographs in this gallery are useful for that reason: they show the actual body position once the takeoff is over.
The lower part of the route
Near the lower approach, Kotor Old Town and the marina can sit almost directly beneath the flight. The bay shore becomes the dominant reference instead of the wider mountain panorama.
Landing details can change with the day, so the final images are best read as lower-route orientation rather than a fixed landing promise.
Your own day will look different
Light changes the Bay a lot. Clear sun, haze, cloud shadow and the season can make the same route look very different.
That variation is normal. The geography stays Kotor; the exact colour, visibility, height and route line belong to the conditions of your own flight.
Quick answers
Are these photos from the Kotor tandem route?
Yes. The gallery is arranged around the local Lovćen-to-Kotor route: mountain takeoff, high Bay views, St John Fortress, Old Town and the lower approach.
Will my flight have exactly the same view?
No two flights look identical. Cloud, haze, sun angle, visibility, lift and the exact route line change the view from day to day.
What does a tandem passenger look like in the air?
The passenger sits in the front harness and the pilot sits behind. Once takeoff is complete, the normal flying position is seated and relaxed.
Do these images show the exact landing point?
They show the lower route and bay-shore context, not a guaranteed landing point. The tandem pilot chooses the landing plan for the conditions on the day.
Can I get GoPro video from my own flight?
Pilot GoPro video is optional at €10. After a successful recording, you receive the SD card after the flight or a download link when the files are ready.
What should I do if I want to fly this route?
Use the contact page to message the local team with your preferred day or date range and how many people want to fly.
