Frequently Asked Questions about Queentstown Summer Paragliding - Higher Take Off
How long am I in the air for?
This tour flys from the highest take-off point in Queenstown, Coronet Peak. The average flight time in summer on the paraglider is 12-15 mins, on the hang glider 10-12 mins. For our winter tandem flights off the summit of Coronet Peak, we are averaging 15-20 mins. We rely on Mother Nature, so it can vary quite a bit, sometimes the flights are longer than the average, sometimes a bit shorter.
Are there any restrictions?
Yes. The minimum weight for a passenger on a paraglider is 20 kg, the maximum is 110 kg. For hang gliding the minimum weight we can carry is 20 kg and the maximum is 90 kg.(Conditions apply)
