Selecting a Paragliding Course that is RIGHT for you:

If you are sure you want to take up the sport as a hobby we recommend you start with our 5 day Elementary Pilot Course, an intensive course that gives you at least 8 to 10 solo flights and many hours of ground handling thereby polishing the basic skills you require to become a safe competent pilot. This course can be completed over two weekends.

You can then progress to a 5 day Club Pilot Course that takes you all the way to flying on your own for extended periods of time without the direct supervision of an instructor. At about this time you can begin thinking about buying your own wing, becoming a hobby pilot and escaping to the solitude and freedom of cool air above and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow pilots.


If you are looking for a one time solo free flight experience or are keen on trying paragliding but not sure about taking up the sport as a hobby our 3 day achieving free flight program is what you need. This course will take you from handling the glider on the ground to a few exhilarating solo flights. After this if you are hooked you can always upgrade to the beginner course.


The 2 day introductory course is for under 16’s and groups looking for an active fun adventure weekend. It gives you a taste of the sport.


If you want to experience free flight without having to learn we have tandem flights or joyrides that you do with a competent tandem pilot, but we still think the best way to experience this magical event is on your own
