Learn to hang-glide on your own

Image - Learn to Soar: Solo Hang-Gliding

This isn’t your typical trip where you get strapped in and go for a single ride. On the contrary, you’ll spend the morning in a brief classroom meeting then hit the simulator to practice the unique skills of gliding. We’ll then spend the rest of the day gliding from the hill on your own! By the end of the day, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a proficient hang glider and should you choose, can proceed to get your license in further sessions.

This trip is not for the faint of heart, though no prior experience is necessary. You’ll be under the guidance of fully licensed instructors who will be there with you every step of the way, until of course you’re in the air at which point you’ll be soaring solo. This is truly a unique activity and a day you’re sure to remember!
