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.

Great, Nikki. I am glad you and your son enjoyed your paragliding experience with us. Summer is a great time to come flying with all the thermal updraft we are getting. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in our beautiful little town. Regards, Gitti Tapper Coronet Peak Tandems

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.
