5.00Absolutely incredible experience. Every single member of our party (there were 5 of us) had an amazing time. The view was incredible, everything felt as safe as possible, and guides were lovely.
Really awesome experience...

5.00Really awesome experience going hang gliding with this group. Really easy bus ride up to the launch, quick safety briefing and then was sailing in the skies for ~15 mins with a friendly and confident guide.
Well organised, nice friendly instructor, amazing experience.

5.00It was an easy activity as in well organised, the check in was smooth, driven up by nice friendly people and the instructor/pilot was great. Had an amazing time just wish it lasted twice as long!
Best experience in New Zealand!

5.00We flew from Wanaka past the waterfall and it was the best most awesome day ever. My children 9 and 11 years loved it! Even my husband who hates heights went for it and had a brilliant time. The guides are incredible, very professional, made us feel really safe and confident, they were really lovely at looking after the children. The views are out of this world, lake Wanaka, snow capped mountains, waterfalls. My guide let me fly and we did tricks on the way down. I’ve done paragliding in a few places but this was by far the best experience. Unbelievable day, best day in New Zealand. Thank you!
Must do adventure!!

5.00Such an incredible experience! It was both peaceful and exhilarating with absolutely amazing views! My pilot Burak was funny, informative, and comforting during the experience. He made sure I enjoyed the moment while also capturing it beautifully on camera. 10/10 would recommend and would absolutely do again!
Wonderful and thrilled.

5.00Fabulous views. My pilot Tugrul was very safety conscious, and we gained quite a long flight. The shuttle transfer was smooth. This was my second paraglide after one in Chamonix. Got to do some steering under guidance. Fun! Just as professional as in Europe. Recommend this to anyone visiting Queenstown.
Glorious experience on a perfect day!
