Hi, I saw that children as young as 4 can go tandem hang gliding in Queenstown. How are they strapped is it three people ie; The instructor, the parent and then the child strapped to the parent? or is the child strapped to the instructor?
Comments
Thank you for your quick question about the Hang Gliding experience. Yes, guests can fly from the age of 4 years old, each guest has to fly with an instructor though, so you would be flying separately, they can have you flying next to each other though but not in the same hang glide. No refunds are given if the child decides to not participate.
If doing a tandem hang glide, will I get to steer the glider or am I just along for the ride?
Comments
You will be in tandem so overall your guide will be in control of the glider. However, under their supervision, they will allow you to have a go at steering the glider!
How long is the flight?
Comments
Heya, It completely depends on the conditions, but generally the Queenstown flight from coronet peak is about 15-20 mins and the Aerotow in Glenorchy is more like 20-25 mins.
Can I bring a friend with me to watch my flight or is that not possible because of transportation to Queenstown and the different landing site?
Comments
Yes there is usually space for a spectator to come along in the van and watch you hang glide in Queenstown. We can't book it in or guarantee it but all you need to do is get your friend to come along when you check in for your hang glide in town and there is a good chance there will be space for them to go in the van.
Where is the launch site for your hang gliding?
Comments
The hang gliding launch site is from the Coronet Peak ski field car park located about 20 minutes drive out of Queenstown. You will land in the flight park below and be taken back to Queenstown afterwards.
