Great

Relaxed atmosphere was great. View was really good. Got photos and a video on a memory card. I thought that the fact I didn't have to jump off a cliff (they haul you up to desired height using a tow plane ) was a major bonus. This means even if you are not very mobile you can do this activity. All in all I would do it again and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

great time

Having a fear of heights I decided to hang glide first as apposed to jump out of a plane. I should have thought that through , being that they tow you up to your desired height before releasing you. From start to finish though was an amazing time with breathtaking views. I would highly recommend
