The flight itself was amazing; unrivalled views of the town and lake and nothing compares to the sensation of soaring over the trees and cliffs with the breeze in your face.
Price wise I am not too sure but this is premium spot you need to pay premium price.
George was very nice pilot helped my son to glide.
Sometimes it’s extremely busy when group of people turns up at once.
The flight is between 10-15 minutes depending on air situation.
What an incredible experience in Queenstown!
Flying over the beautiful mountains with the most spectacular views of the lake was absolutely breathtaking. The scenery was simply unforgettable – but what made the experience even more special was my tandem pilot Dominic.
Dominic did a fantastic job. He was professional, confident and at the same time made the whole flight incredibly enjoyable. And I absolutely loved the fast spirals – so much fun! 😄
One of the biggest highlights for me was that Dominic even let me navigate the paraglider myself. What an amazing feeling to actually take part in the flight rather than just sitting front and enjoying the view!
A huge thank you to Dominic for such a fantastic adventure, for making me feel safe and for giving me an experience I will remember for a very long time.
Beautiful mountains, an incredible view over the lake and an amazing pilot – I couldn’t have asked for a better tandem flight in Queenstown! ❤️🇳🇿🪂
