That’s 10% of the Australian population! When we started ‘doing’ experiences in 2001, Facebook didn’t exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We’ve been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
Soar through the skies on a tandem paraglider and discover Queenstown from an entirely new perspective. Soak in spectacular panoramic views of snow-capped mountains and pristine lakes in your comfortable front row seat as your experienced pilot takes the controls behind you.
What better place to tick paragliding off your bucket list than the postcard-perfect Queenstown in winter? After meeting the provider at the designated pick up point, you will be transported to Coronet Peak where your pilot will take you through a detailed safety briefing and prepare you for the flight ahead. For an extra NZ$30, you will get access to the summit snow take-off via chair lift to launch off from 5,400ft! Experience an adrenaline rush like no other as you are rewarded with spectacular aerial views of Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and beyond. Thrill seekers and adventure lovers will have the opportunity to steer the glider for themselves before safely floating back down to earth.
Please note: An additional $30 is required for access to the summit snow take-off. This is payable on the day to the supplier directly.
