The Paraglider is the simplest, most lightweight form of aircraft known to man, this makes taking you to soar with the birds quick and easy.

After a short brief, clip in and safety checks, your NZHGPA licenced tandem pilot will kite the paraglider above your heads, then, with a few steps, you and your pilot will be gently lifted from the launch to begin your free flight experience.

When conditions allow, you will enter the lift and climb skyward towards the clouds and discover why birds sing and all with the amazing views over the Tasman Bay to the Able Tasman National Park.

Average flights last from 20 minutes to 30 minutes. For the more adventurous, and at your request, we can increase your heart rate by adding some G's to your flight for an unforgettable experience. Your pilot will then glide you safely back to earth.
