Get ready to soar above some of New Zealand's most pristine landscape. 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 your adventure 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. The flight time is between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the season and weather, so you will have plenty of time to take in the amazing views. Courtesy transport from Queenstown is included, so in no time at all, you'll look down on Queenstown's dramatic landscape of pristine mountains and winding rivers. This is truly an unforgettable experience with views that will stay with you forever.
There is a maximum weight of 120kg from Oct to March, and a maximum of 110kg from April to end of season (end of April to mid-May).
This experience caters for groups of between one to five participants per trip, depending on the time of year.
Spectators can come along free of charge on a space available basis.
Paragliding is a weather dependent activity. If Skytrek cancels due to weather, a full refund is given if the booking can't be re-scheduled.
You'll be walking over snow and ice to access the take-off area so warm clothing is essential (dress for between 5 degrees to minus 10 degrees) and good hiking boots with ankle support is required. Boots, gloves and jackets are able to be supplied on request if you don't have your own.
This experience takes place on Coronet Peak, Queenstown, New Zealand.

We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
