Exciting and worthwhile! - So so much fun!! I highly recommend - it wasn’t at all scary but more so such an exciting experience. My instructor was so hospitable and definitely displayed his expertise as a paraglider. I would do it again!

Wonderful experience - I really enjoyed my flight, which lasted about 10min. Guide was calm and gave good instructions. I don't like heights, but I liked this experience.

Excitingly Awesome Experience - Amazing experience! From booking online to arriving at the desk to check in. Staff are super friendly. I did my paragliding with Blake, super nice guy and made it excitingly awesome. The views are spectacular! What a feeling of complete freedom. I felt safe all the time. A definite must do with this team.

Phenomenal experience from a last minute decision to book! Recommend to anyone! - Not something i’d planned on doing, but I’d seen people paragliding the previous day and thought it looked amazing. While in Queenstown I thought if I don’t do it, I’ll regret it! I’m not interested in bungee jumps or canyon swings, but this was way better than I imagined! Friendly staff who put my mind at easy about willingly running off the side of a mountain!😂 And that for me, was the worst part, but once you get going there’s no backing out. A few steps and you’re airborne! Highly recommend to anyone!!

Experience of a Lifetime - Our pilots were amazing and we felt safe the whole trip. They gave the experience of a lifetime. We are in our late 60's and loved every minute.

On top - I wished a bit more longer in the air and being able to play with the handles. But it was really nice. And gloves, extra warm gloves, it was cold.

Great but too short - We launched from Coronet Peak due to better wind conditions, great experience and a real buzz, but very very short. We were in the air for less than 10 minutes, which I think is a little average for the price vs other activities we did.
