Fear of heights and fear of paragliding are not identical, but you should know what part of the experience worries you. The useful way to decide is to look at the actual logistics, what you want to learn or experience, and what the current listing includes for your date.
Name the scary part
Some people dislike edges and balconies but feel comfortable once airborne; others dislike loss of control or the launch run. Knowing which part bothers you helps you ask the operator useful questions.
Do not book to prove something
A tandem flight should be something you want to try, not a test imposed by friends or a partner. You can decide against it without turning the choice into a judgment about courage.
Ask what launch looks like
Understanding the harness, launch sequence, communication and landing can reduce uncertainty. A reputable operator should be able to explain the process without pressuring you.
Leave room to change your mind
Read the cancellation terms before booking. If anxiety is likely to dominate the entire trip, choose an experience you can look forward to instead.
