Another awesome summer of Paragliding & Hang Gliding over - bring on the winter Paragliding!!

What a brilliant summer we've had this year with the Hang Gliding and Paragliding.

Well done to all the boys for all their hard work and giving our customers an experience of a lifetime!

Below is one of our customers enjoying amazing autumn Hang Gliding with Angus!

We are now busy getting ourselves ready for another wicked winter!

Yes, it's time to get the winter layers on & come join us for spectacular flying from the summit of Coronet Peak at 5400ft.

Taking off in the snow, we fly above the ski field & you can wave to all your buddies down below!

Coronet has had a dusting of snow in the last week, won't be long before we are knee high in the white stuff, we can't wait!!

Angus came second in the Hang gliding Nationals

Congratulations to Angus Tapper, our chief pilot, who came second in the Hang Gliding Nationals, recently held in Wanaka. 4 Tasks have been flown. The field of 35 pilots from all over New Zealand found great, sometimes challenging flying conditions.

Well done, Angus!

Beautiful winter flights

Wow, what a fantastic run of stunning winter weather we have had.


The snow launch off the summit of Coronet Peak has been very popular. Here are pics of a beautiful winter flight off Coronet Peak.
The wind has been finally picking up today after about 14 days of flying straight.
With the weather forcast being stormy, lets hope there will be some snow coming to Queenstown!

Brand new gear!!!!

Oh it has been a rather busy summer despite of being in a recession. But Queenstown's numbers in general have been up.

Just recently we have upgraded our gear and bought 2 new tandem paragliders and 1 new tandem hang glider. See pics of our new babies below.
