Coronet Peak Tandem Paragliding and Hang gliding
Great trip - felt very safe.
Photos were included in the price. Highest peak in the area - around 4000ft.
Many thanks for the fantastic feedback, Sophie P.
Great to hear you had a good time paragliding with us. As you pointed out, we fly off the highest of the commercial take off points in Queenstown. In summer our take off point is at 3800ft and in winter we go even up to 5400ft, which gives you mega height. To give people an idea, it is twice the height of the Queenstown Gondola in winter.
Maybe we can take you hang gliding next time you come to Queenstown.
