Gliding - 1 hour flight

Gliding - 1 hour flight
From NZD $650.00
  • Duration: 1 Days
  • Location: Omarama, South Canterbury
Feel the freedom of gliding. Flying in pure form, while
enjoying some of the best scenery New Zealand has to offer.
This flight is usually around the Omarama area, getting
airborne before midday.
You will be allowed to fly the glider yourself under instruction
from your pilot.

Things to know: 

Most days are flyable but as gliding is weather dependent there 

are limits to what we can do safely. Your pilot will keep you informed of what

is best for the day given the current weather conditions. Don’t be put off by
strong wind forecasts, as we like wind for good wave flying and are often
flying when other air activities are not. Calmer days, with good thermal
conditions are also what we love. Always make contact the day before in the
evening to see how the following day is shaping up regards the latest weather
forecast.

In gliding, we circle a lot to climb in the lift. If you
suffer from motion sickness or think you might struggle with this on a glider
flight, we would recommend you take travel sickness tablets before you fly. We
want you looking at the scenery, not the bottom of a sick bag!


You can extend your flight time if you wish, subject to
availability. Ask your pilot.


Please turn up 30 minutes before your trip so we can prepare
you for your flight experience.
