What to Expect
Frequently Asked Questions about Queenstown Paragliding & Hang Gliding Combo
How long am I in the air for?
We fly from the highest take off point in Queenstown, Coronet Peak. Average flight time on the paraglider is 12-15 mins, on the hang glider 10-12 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 weight 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)
How do I get to the take-off point?
We provide free transport from Queenstown to take off and back.
Where is the pick-up point?
The tour starts and ends at the Kiwi Discovery Shop, 37 Camp Street, Queenstown.
How do I know if the trip goes ahead?
As our activities are weather dependent, we would recommend to book your paragliding/hang gliding experience earlier during your stay in Queenstown rather than later. That way you have got a greater chance of flying.
Can I bring a friend to watch?
We’d love you to bring a friend along to watch as long as we have got room in the van. There is a small charge of NZ$20 per spectators.
What is the time of departure?
Time of departure varies with the time of the year and weather. We'll send you further details about the exact time of departure once you fulfilled the booking.
Do I need to declare any medical conditions? If so, what are they?

Do you do photos?
Yes. Photos and videos are available. Ask your instructor about the possibility at the start of the tour.
Can I bring my own camera?
It is a no go for cameras for the hang gliding, I am afraid. You can bring your little action camera on your paragliding flight as long as it is mounted on a chest or wristharness. Big SLR cameras are a no go as well.
