Traveler Reviews

I have just spent the most amazing time of my life when I ran off Coronet Peak with Vicki and we floated through the sky. Words can not describe the exhilarating feeling of paragliding. I am hooked thanks to Vicki and the amazing time we spent together. Just do it.

What an amazing trip all the staff were super friendly. Everything was organised and on time. I flew with Dan he was so much fun, made me feel safe but had a laugh at the same time! So much fun would do it over and over!! Thanks Dan and the rest of the team!!!!!

I've wanted to tandem paraglide for years, being a big fan of The Amazing Race. It was the one activity I wanted to do while in Queenstown, and I was so thrilled that the weather cooperated and I was able to experience this. Vicki was awesome - explained exactly what to do and expect, and has a great sense of humor and passion for what she does. She seriously gifted me with one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I'm 66 years old, by the way, so if you can walk fast, run a little faster for just a few steps, you can do this. I hope I can do this again some day.

The manager of this company is HORRIBLE. He treated my group with complete disrespect on multiple occasions. He doesn’t follow through with vouchers his own staff gives out for their mistakes and takes your money and “reserves” you into time slots you didn’t have and then says you missed your reservation so that he can charge your card. If you don’t want to be scammed don’t fly with this company. Worst experience I’ve ever had abroad hands down. If I could give them a 0 I would. DO NOT book with this company. Happy Travels and GoOrange was amazing to us and made sure we were taken care of.

Dear Shai, I know you will pay to get this deleted or you will just respond disrespectfully like you have to every other negative review, however, I think it’s important people hear about your company! We had a whole booking fiasco in which at the end of it all SkyTrek gave our group a voucher to paraglide. We were skeptical because they were so disrespectful to us, but we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to fly since we paid for it. We rebooked the flight and followed all the proper procedures. Then like many of the other reviews have said they just called and said we missed our flight (two hours before the schedule). We tried to talk to Shai the owner and just ask for our noon spot to still be honored, but he became disrespectful and hostile to my whole family. He would not rebook it and blamed us even though we had proof that we booked it for noon. Thankfully, Happy Travels helped us and honored the flight with a different company so the dreams of an old man could be fulfil
