Once in a lifetime, safe experience, fly and soar like an eagle - Fly like a bird in the scenic valley and mountains. It is super safe and an exhilarating experience. The organisers, the pilots and the support staff ensured our nerves were settled and each person was extremely friendly. I would strongly recommend this company 👌.

Brilliant flying experience - Pat was my instructor. He was friendly, professional and made me feel very at ease from harnessing up to our smooth landing. I felt like my experience was tailor made to want I enjoyed. His photos and videos of our flight were fantastic. Such a fun memory to take away from Queenstown:

Awesome paragliding experience - This was my first paragliding experience and it was absolutely fantastic. My pilot Lawrence was patient, encouraging and made sure that the take off and landing were both smooth. He took special care because I’ve had a spine surgery in the past. My overall experience was awesome. I highly recommend it!

Amazing time Paragliding in Queenstown 🪂 - I had a great time paragliding with Skytreck! It was my first time paragliding, and I can’t recommend it more! Skytreck was very organized and efficient, and I felt very safe the whole time. You meet at their office in downtown Queenstown, and then they bus you to the take-off spot, which is about a 15-minute drive. The take-off is at one of the ski resorts and is the highest launch point in New Zealand! But because it is inland from the lake, you will NOT be paragliding right over the main downtown area and the lake; instead, you are further inland from the lake. But of course, you still get gorgeous views of the mountains and lake. The total flight time is about 12-15 minutes. The entire experience is about 1.5-2 hours.

Brilliant Experience Not To Be Missed! - My family and I (Mum, Dad and two boys 12yrs and 13yrs) all took the plunge and had the best experience ever! We picked Queenstown Tandem Paragliding over the other operator "in town" as this afforded us the opportunity to fly from a higher altitude and also, not have to stump up the extra cast for the gondola ride (not insignificant for 4 people).
The staff in town were very friendly, professional and efficient - only to be match by the pilots who had a wealth of experience, explained every aspect of the flight thoroughly and made adventure unforgettable. We were ready to fly again as soon as we landed and will absolutely do that the next time we're in town.
Do yourself a favour and give it a go!!

Choose wisely. This is not the jump off the skyline Gondala at Queenstown - It should be clear that this
activity requires a long bus ride up a mountain and is outside of Queenstown, adding 40minutes to a 15minute jump
