Description

Gliding is an elating experience - it gives you the excitement of flying without the noise of an aircraft, leaving you feeling at one with the elements and free to enjoy the incredible scenery unfolding beneath you.

Our gliding experience begins with a pre-flight briefing describing all the necessary safety procedures, after which you`ll be strapped into the glider with your instructor. The glider is attached to a winch by a cable - once safely inside it only takes a few moments to become airborne. The cable is released and you`ll have a chance to search out some thermals to ride and then gently glide back down to earth.
