Introduction to Paragliding
Duration: 6 hours | No experience required

Curious about the sky? This one-day introduction gives you a real feel for paragliding without committing to the full P1 & P2 course.

• Theory: Learn the aerodynamics and mechanics of how a paraglider flies.
• Ground control: Get hands-on with the wing, “kiting” and controlling it on the ground.
• First flights: Feel the magic of liftoff with supervised low-altitude flights on our practice hill.

Small group, full day, taught by an instructor with almost 40 years of flying and teaching.

$395 per person +GST (minimum 2 people)
$595 for one person +GST

Continuing on? Half your intro fee is credited toward the P1 & P2 course. You’ll repeat the first day with your course group, and that repetition is time well spent: ground handling is the foundation of everything that follows.

This introduction is optional and not a prerequisite for the P1 & P2 course.
