My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our paragliding experience! Our pilots were Luke and Rene, who were professional, friendly and so good at their jobs from start to finish. Was actually more thrilling than I imagined as well with the awesome aerobatics! 100% would highly recommend

My 16 year old wanted to do this so I decided to as well. The team were incredibly professional, nice easy instructions and calm which made me more confident. Simple launch and once airborne such amazing views, my tandem partner Jack let me just cruise, I didn’t want to do any tricks and Jack found us gentle currents so no bouncing about which I just loved. My daughter with her tandem partner Senda did a roll over and a few other things and she loved her ride too. I would highly recommend this, the team do a fantastic job and tailor the tide to what you want. Videos and photos taken by your tandem partner are reasonably priced and goes directly to your partner. Thanks team look forward to doing it again!

This adventure although a bit pricey is worth every cent. This company is extremely professional and safe. Theo, our tandem pilot is a world class pilot and despite being nervous it was a fantastic experience. A wonderful way to see Queenstown and surrounding area by air. Coronet peak is the way to go.

Awesome experience. We booked and paid for wrong date, and their staff quickly allowed us to make same day flight!
Our driver to takeoff, Huardo (?), was friendly and helpful.
I flew with a young man, Jack, from the UK, and he was instructive, nice and very knowledgeable.
Great experience!
