Tips
and Gratuities not include (but appreciated)!
Your
adventure starts with an off road truck climb to the launch
site (20-40 minutes), followed by a thrilling tandem paragliding
flight (up to thirty minutes of air time).
With just a few minutes of guidance
from our certified tandem pilot, you will be able to experience
a high flight from the convenience of your own harness.
The tandem pilot will control the take off, flight, and
landing and you just get to come along for the ride. No
experience or equipment is necessary however rugged footwear
is suggested.
Many tandem passengers have been so thrilled,
they have enrolled in our flight school and learned to paraglide
on their own. The cost of your adventure flight may be applied
to our courses (five or more
flights).
When conditions are
right (usually in the Spring or Summer) we will allow the
thermals to carry us upward, sometimes as high as 8000'
-touching the base of a cloud is as simple as opening your
eyes.
This flight can be a bit rough at
times, lasting up to an hour long, but
the view is spectacular!
We guarantee to blow your socks off!

"The
natural function of the wing is to soar upwards and carry
that which is heavy up to the place where dwells the race
of gods. More than any other thing that pertains to the
body it partakes of the nature of the divine." - Plato,
'Phaedrus.'
