Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I was looking for a Queenstown last-day adrenaline rush and the booking company got me booked onto a pick-up less than 15 minutes later. We rode out by minibus to Coronet Peak, met our pilots and had time to take photos while everything got set up. The paraglide itself was stunning with spectacular views and went by so quickly and there's an option to buy videos and photos taken while in the air.

You have to put this on your bucket list! My pilot Nina was amazing! She was professional, explained the surroundings and made me feel super safe ! We had the best time up in the air going over the snow. Words and pictures can’t describe how amazing the view was. Nina went above and beyond to record the best footage! Being in the moment was absolutely breathtaking. I’m glad I have these memories forever - the best winter experience!

This was a very fun and pleasant experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the flight. The scenery was beautiful, the pilot was funny and engaging and also a great tour guide in the sky. I was given the opportunity to fly for a short while and do some turns while w were at it. Towards the end, the pilot did a number of sharp turns and other aerobatic manoeuvres which i thought were great fun (and would have liked a bit more haha but im happy nonetheless).

My only feedback is with the waiting at the pick up location. We were told to wait at the roadside for about 10mins before the scheduled pick up time. Unfortunately the driver was about 10mins late (which i guess is understandable), but as a result we were waiting in the cold (it was winter) for about 20mins - and we didnt dare to walk away in case we missed the bus. Would have been better if there was a better waiting point or some other solution.

Nevertheless, it was a great experience overall and we were very happy :)

Excellent experience, this morning my partner did the tandem paraglide and I was a spectator. You are in the air 15-20 mins, taking off in the snow, very knowledgeable and experienced pilots my partner felt completely safe, well organised with a pick from Queenstown CBD. The photos and videos taken by the pilot were great. Highly recommend.

This was something I’d wanted to do for ages and I’m so glad I did it . Jumping off coronet peak was awesome and the glide down was about 25mins as caught loads of currents to fly. It was incredible. My pilot was awesome and I loved every minute of it. So glad I did it . My son jumped off just before me and he chose to do the aerobatics which was super cool to watch also. We both loved it .

What an awesome experience taking off over the snow from Coronet Peak was amazing. The highest takeoff in Queenstown we were recommended this from another couple and so glad we listened. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking to do something different.

Fantastic - a one word review. Now filling in the rest of the review …. We went from the top of Greengates chairlift down over the ski field and broke through the cloud just at ski field height. Did some tight turns and landed. Fantastic

Professional right from the start. Safety conscious in their approach to wind direction and take off point. Additional tricks at the end were a highlight.
