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.

    Best experience ever!
    This was such an awesome experience. My pilot (Dominic) made this such an easy and fun experience. Of course he took all safety precautions, but I so enjoyed how easy he was to talk to and once we were in the air - he asked if I wanted to do some “fun turns” which I was hoping he would ask and it made the experience all the more fun and unforgettable. He took a great video and photos of the experience as well. Dom rocks!

    Amazing is an understatement!
    This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Queenstown. Paragliding was so much fun and the staff were fantastic. It seemed like we were in the air for ages, so we really got to settle in and enjoy it. We were also given heaps of great photos and videos to choose from. A once in a lifetime experience!

    6 star experience
    Decided to do this as a family in groups of 2. Staff were friendly, fun and reassuring as 600 foot in the air is not natural for a human! The views were amazing from that height and felt very safe and secure. The take off and landing were smooth and would recommend this for even the most timid person. My 7 year old loved it and wanted to do it again. Wear warm clothes if doing it in winter, gloves are a must.

    First Paraglide Experience
    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.

    Great paragliding experience
    I did the three day paragliding course with Lisa and had a great time. Lisa is a great instructor and helped everyone learn at their own pace.

    Incredible experiense!
    We had such an amazing time! Probably the closest you can come to feel like you are actually flying, like a bird! Absolutely beautiful scenery. Extra big thank you to the driver Harry and the pilots John & Ian! Would highly recommend. Wow!!

    Brilliant
    Took a tour with this company from Queenstown to Milford Sound. Fabulous coach with glass roof and huge windows to allow for the best viewing of the stunning scenery.
    Driver Grant was brilliant on the long journey with information and stories which were informative and often funny. Luke drove back.
    Well organised although ideally morning comfort and coffee break would be better if at a stop without so many coaches as the queues were long which meant we weren’t actually able to get a coffee.
    Yes it is a long day but this company made the trip enjoyable and Grant and Luke brilliant
