Highlights & inclusions
What you can expect
Ready to soar above some of New Zealand's most pristine landscape? Find out what it's like to spread your wings and soar with the birds in the unique New Zealand alpine environment. For 10 to 20 minutes you and a certified paragliding pilot will be looking down on Queenstown from incredible heights.
Soar above mountain ridges and get a bird's-eye view of Queenstown and its magnificent surroundings during this tandem paragliding experience from New Zealand's highest commercial launch site. Begin with a quick briefing and before you know it you'll take a few quick steps and be lifted into the sky with your highly trained and professional pilot.
Gently glide down to the valley floor or ask your pilot for the "roller coaster ride", a thrilling and high G descent that will leave you breathless.
