Queenstown Paragliding Adventure with Skytrek

I had an amazing time paragliding with Skytrek! I was truly blessed with the weather that day as I heard that they had cancelled all activities the previous day due to the weather. All the pilots and even our driver said we were having "awesome weather and wind" that morning. These are without doubt the most important factors in such activities (so be prepared that your booking might get cancelled). But I believe that the pilots play an equally important role. From what I saw, all the pilots were very professional and well-trained. My pilot, Omar, did an amazing job in making me feel safe and have so much fun. He also saw that I was feeling ok and confident enough before doing stunts and letting me be the pilot (he did ask first). The views from Coronet Peak were so beautiful. Unforgetable experience all in all, and of course I had to purchase the pictures / videos after. They do ask beforehand if you wanted these and you can say no. Highly recommended activity :)

I was super lucky to fly in the morning because it was canceled in the afternoon due to strong winds. The scenery was beautiful, and the instructor's directions were very simple and easy to understand. The process was comfortable and fun. Highly recommend!

It was a fun and safe paragliding experience. Flying high up in the air felt amazing. All the staff members were kind and helpful. However, people prone to motion sickness should probably be cautious. The cost of the lift up to the top (NZD 35) and photos/videos (NZD 90) are extra. They do give you advance notice about this.

Great experience paragliding in Queenstown with absolutely stunning views. I wanted to bring my GoPro, but was advised that only body-mounted cameras are allowed.

One of the highlights of my trip! I was nervous as it was my first time paragliding. My pilot Peter is so experienced and I enjoyed the glide as it turned out to be fun and relaxing. Highly recommend!

it was a fantastic experience. the flight was smooth and calm that brought you to a spectacular view. the staff were friendly and professional.

I thought I’d be terrified, but I was just in awe! No free fall. You gently run then suddenly you’re floating!💗💗💗

great experience and all pilots where very experienced. it was safe and they took photos and videos of you. $90 NZ more to transfer photos to your phone immediately after landing. The bus will take you from the town to the location and back

It’s an amazing and wonderful experience! The coach is professional so you would not worry about the safety issue. Highly recommended!

We were very fortunate that the weather cleared up, allowing us to go paragliding. Soaring through the sky and gazing out at the distant landscape was breathtaking. The instructor is from Turkey, and having him right behind me made me feel completely safe and at ease.
