What you can expect

With a professional tandem pilot, you'll enjoy a safe and unforgettable adventure in the sky. Experience the thrill of tandem paragliding like never before with our unique beach launch. Skip the cliff-jumping and instead feel yourself gently lifted into the sky in a smooth and effortless beach take-off. Fly with the birds and soak in breath-taking panoramic views of the tropical coastline. Overlooking beautiful beaches, lush rainforest-clad mountains and the Great Barrier Reef, you’ll be flying in a paragliding paradise! Your flight will be tailored just for you – opt for some adrenaline-charged aerobatics or simply enjoy gliding peacefully through the air. After 20mins of flying, land gracefully back on the beach, a soft and gentle return to earth after your sky-high adventure.

How It Works
  • Getting There: Make your own way or get picked up by our friendly driver (see the 'Transfers' section below for pick-up options).
  • Pre-Flight Preparation: Once you've arrived, receive a briefing on safety procedures and what to expect during the flight. Gear up and make your way along the beach to get ready for take-off.
  • Flight Experience: Take-off from the beach, feeling yourself effortlessly lifted into the sky using a unique tow launch method. Soar above the coastline and enjoy panoramic views of the Coral Sea, beautiful beaches, and rainforest-clad mountains. After 15-20 minutes of flying, land back on the beach gently and safely.
  • Group Bookings: Group bookings are welcome. Please note that only one person can book onto a 30 minute time slot as only one person will fly at a time.
