Most people discover paramotoring and fly circuits above the same field for years. We respect that - but we started Seattle Paramotor because we believe the motor and wing are something fundamentally more than that. They are the most capable personal exploration tool ever built.
A paramotor lets you access coastlines with no road access, land in mountain meadows that see no foot traffic, cross open water that no boat schedule touches, and camp at remote airstrips where the sound at night is just wind and wilderness. You are not watching the landscape. You are inside it, at altitude, on your own power.
Our expeditions are built around unlocking that potential - systematically. New flying areas, new corridors, new terrain types. We push the boundaries of what paramotor flying looks like as an expedition tool, from luxury fireside retreats on the Pacific coast to extreme multi-day mountain crossings in the North Cascades. Every event is guided, capped at eight pilots, and all-inclusive from arrival to departure.
New Flying Areas
We actively scout, survey, and negotiate access to terrain that has never seen a paramotor. Private land, tribal partnerships, remote airstrips - we put in the work to unlock corridors others cannot reach.
Mountain Flying
Glacier approaches, ridge crossings, volcanic terrain, alpine meadow landings. The Cascades are our backyard and we fly them seriously - with the safety infrastructure to match.
Coastal Flying
Fifty miles of open Pacific beach, sea stack corridors, tidal flat geometry visible only from above. We know this coast and we fly it at the right tides, the right altitude, and the right time of day.
Fly Camping
Landing at remote airstrips, sleeping under canvas with the motor next to you, launching again the next morning. Proper expedition camping with the support infrastructure to do it safely.
Island Hopping XC
Open water crossings, island-to-island routing, private ranch overnight stops, and boat finishes. Some of the most technically demanding and visually spectacular routes we run.
Fireside to Extreme
Our events span the full spectrum - luxury beachfront cabins with fresh seafood and evening fires at one end; hard-core mountain XC with tent camps at remote airstrips at the other.

Camp Nights
The North Cascades Fly Camp XC is a multi-day guided cross-country expedition through one of the most dramatic flying corridors in the Pacific Northwest. Pilots are picked up from the hotel and driven to a private ranch LZ in Mount Vernon for mission briefing - this is where the group meets, gear is checked, and the route is walked in detail before anyone touches a motor.
Day one launches from the ranch and follows the Skagit Valley north to Concrete Airport for fuel and a tent camp night in the shadow of the North Cascades. Day two is the centrepiece - a push northeast toward Mount Baker to take in the glaciers and Baker Lake, then a long southern run down the Sauk River valley to Darrington Airport for a second night under canvas. The final flying day brings the group south to Arlington Airport, one of the most celebrated paramotor destinations in Washington, before a shuttle returns everyone to the Tulalip Hotel for a proper last night. Departure the following morning.

Inclusive
The Pacific Northwest Coastal XC is not a training event. It is not a race. It is five days of private, all-inclusive flying, eating, storytelling, and community on one of the most underflown coastlines in the world. Fifty miles of open Pacific beach, no crowds, no access roads - just ocean wind, low tide flats, and sea stacks rising out of the fog.
Guests stay in private beachfront cabins near Copalis, Washington. Every meal is taken care of. Transportation to and from the event is included. Paramotors are available to rent if you need one. The evenings belong to the fire - this is where the real conversations happen, where pilots from different backgrounds compare notes and friendships get built that last.

Finish
The San Juan Islands XC is a two-day point-to-point island hop through the saltwater channels of Puget Sound - one of the most technically interesting and visually spectacular cross-country routes available to paramotor pilots anywhere in the country. You will launch from a private grass runway on the Tulalip Tribes reservation, a stretch of coastline with deep roots in Pacific Northwest history and among the richest seafood waters on the continent.
Day one takes you north along the beaches at low tide, then up to altitude for the Puget Sound channel crossings to Whidbey Island, where the group lands and overnight at a private ranch house and LZ with views down the sound. Day two completes the route - Camano Island, Hat Island, and Jetty Island - before the tour finishes at the water's edge and a private boat shuttle carries the group into Everett. The night is spent at the Everett Indigo Hotel before departure the following morning.

Every expedition runs on the same non-negotiable standards regardless of which event you join.
Hard cap on every event. Small enough to move as a unit, large enough to build real camaraderie. Non-negotiable.
A certified pilot leads every flight and a second instructor flies sweep. No pilot is ever ahead of lead or behind sweep.
A dedicated support truck shadows the route with fuel, spare parts, first aid, and emergency shelter throughout.
Every pilot carries a Garmin inReach. The guide monitors all tracks in real time for the duration of the route.
If conditions are below minimums at brief time, the day is scrubbed. No exceptions, no pressure, no votes.
From arrival dinner through departure breakfast. Real food - not freeze-dried. Dietary requirements accommodated with advance notice.
Events fill fast. Spots are hard to get. Request an invite and we'll reach out personally within 48 hours to discuss which expedition is right for you.
