Hang Gliding

Launch a new passion for flight and leave cares and worries behind with a tandem hang gliding lesson. Surge on broad wings 2,500 feet above ground with an instructor at your side and enjoy sweeping views of the breathtaking scenery. First get airborne with an “aero tow” from a powered ultra-light plane; then just hang in there to gain some altitude with absolute attitude in the purest form of flight.
