Unique Queenstown view - Amazing view and great pilot, very encouraging and relaxing experience. I don’t think you could have a better perspective of the surrounding area.

Experience the flight that birds enjoy! - Excited to see tandem paragliding excursion in Queenstown. Did a tandem paraglide in Lauterbrunnen Switzerland which is a “U” shaped canyon perfectly set up for thermals. This ride in Queenstown with GForce was great! My pilot Thomas was an awesome guy. He gave me specific launch instructions and then double checked all safety devices. We enjoyed a great flight, he found thermals where available, caught a small air void from my brother’s tandem flight path, verified I wanted the roller coaster and negative G force experience. Ended with a perfect standup landing. Tandem paraglide is the best! I’m adventurous but not crazy!!!

Amazing experience flying above the lakes and beside the mountains - It was a wonderful experience. The team were professional and provided clear information through out, keeping the anxiety at bay. The view of the lake and mountain was beautiful while paragliding down the mountain. The flight was such a calming experience. A hint for future paragliders is to combine your Gondola, Stratosfare and Luge experiences at the same day as you'll save on Gondola as you can return back to top free after the paragliding activity.

Tandem paragliding - The tandem paragliding was just a breath taking experience. We’d booked for a different day, but as the weather didn’t look good for that day, we took the opportunity to ask if they had any space when we went up on the gondola. They were really helpful and got us up 45 minutes later. The guys that took us up, Karl and Gavin were amazing, making the experience less nerve racking, more fun and putting us at our ease. The views from up there are incredible. Would recommend this activity, you just have to bear in mind that the weather can effect whether the paragliding takes place, but they do endeavour to get you up there.

Amazing experience - Amazing experience, Eddie and George were so nice and supporting. 5 star to them.
Only reason I am putting 4 star is because I felt $320 per person and the $80 for photos were bit too stiff
