Trending: Fly around Cebu on a Gyrocopter

We’ve all had wonderful views and experiences from the top. But nothing beats the view from above flying a thousand miles high riding an air craft transported straight from our video games into real life.

Located in Barangay Canduling, Ronda in southern Cebu, Fly A Gyro Cebu offers short flights on a gyrocopter above Moalboal, Badian, Dalaguete, and the neighboring towns.

This gyrocopter, or more formally known as autogyro, is a rotorcraft that uses an unpowered rotor in free autorotation to develop lift and unlike helicopters, the air flows upwards through the rotor disc rather than down.

It is not for the weak-kneed for you have a chance to gaze and marvel at the beauty of Cebu through the open cockpit of a gyrocopter giving us the freedom adrenaline rush we need.

This aircraft can handle turbulence better than other fixed wing light aircrafts and they fly slower and lower, giving us more time to experience Cebu at the top.
