Itinerary

- Check in 30 minutes before your start time

- Head to training hills with certified instructor

- Learn about the safety features and characteristics of a modern hang glider.

- Your first flight will only be around two feet off the ground, gliding outward and down with the slope of the hill.

- You will reach up to 10 feet in successive jumps

- After lunch, you will fly tandem with the instructor up to 2000ft

Your experience and training in the morning will allow you to pilot the glider at high altitude with the help of your instructor. Taking off and landing are done while gently rolling over the grass.

All tandems are towed into the sky behind an ultralight airplane, designed specifically for the purpose. This means that your tandem flight will launch and land on wheels. Both you and your tandem pilot will be flying, launching and landing in a prone, lying down, position. No running involved.
