My first hang gliding experience, and I really, really enjoyed it. The hang gliding itself was an initial rush followed by a really nice view of the beautiful scenery. In terms of the operator, it was very well organized, efficient, and I had total confidence in the safety and expertise of my pilot. I found the hang gliding to be not just a novelty, but something I would consider doing on a trip to another scenic locale.
Thank you for the great review. We pride ourselves on providing the best hang gliding experience we can deliver. Happy travels and I hope your next hang gliding flight is equally as enjoyable. Ian Clark - GM
Skytrek were extremely professional. Their diligence to our safety meant we were relaxed and soaked up the whole experience. Tandem hang gliding wasn't scary at all, it was serene. My sons (15 and 17) loved it and their guides made their flight more exhilarating.
Hang gliding is not scary, it's so serene.

My sons (aged 15 and 17) loved it and their instructors made their flight more exhilarating.
Hi! Thanks for writing a great review. Having flown hang gliders myself for 36 years now, that 'serene' feeling is a large part of why I've been doing it for so long. Great to hear your sons loved it. All the best, Skytrek.
Incredibly well-organized and perfect for me as someone who’s never gone hang gliding (just paragliding). I loved this— it was delightful, exciting, and incredibly well-organized with exceedingly kind staff and guides!
Even though the day I was scheduled to hang glide was one in which it was going to rain, Ian helped me reschedule so that I could glide before leaving New Zealand. He was really accommodating over e-mail and a pleasure to speak to in person. Harry was an awesome and engaging driver who caught us up on what to expect by the time we'd be at the mountain peak. Personable and joyful all the way through. Pablo was a fantastic hang gliding partner. He brought happiness to the job, took plenty of pictures and video for me to remember this with forever, and did tricks with my permission. It was my favorite activity during my entire stay in Queenstown. Don't miss it.
Even better than my first hang gliding experience 1/4 century ago in Rio de Janeiro Brazil-that one lasted about 10-15 mins. but this one was at least 20. Ironically, my pilot here was Pablo-who is from Rio & learned his trade at the very spot I went from there. So if you can try to fly w/Pablo-great dude.
This activity is a harmony between you and the wind. An important aspect is balance; balance in your own power; balance between you and the wind. I hope you can try and fly like a bird.
My partner and I went hang gliding during our honeymoon and had a wonderful experience. The whole process was really smooth from check-in to take-off. We were meant to feel at ease the whole time, and the pictures turned out great and were transferred to our phone on the spot!
Thanks for the great review and flying with us. We wish you all the best with your life together. Team Skytrek.
