Dave has more than 20 years of experience and his character will make sure you enjoy the ride!
I booked the paragliding for our 10th wedding anniversary as a surprise for my wife. When I told her what we were going to do she was somewhat apprehensive, however, she thoroughly enjoyed it and so did I. The take off was certainly an adrenaline rush and the flight itself was amazing.We would recommend it to anyone. A point to note is that the time of your flight cannot be guaranteed due to weather conditions on the day. For example, our flight was booked for 11.00am but we didn't actually take off until about 3.00pm.
Dave was great, really relaxed & organised. The weather wasn't playing game that day but he still made sure we had a ball! Would recommend this to anyone!
Dave was great, friendly and very safety conscious. My partner and I had found the glide down over Sumner to be very smooth and relaxing - definitely recommended!

Im like a bird as Nelly Furtado once sang!
Would highly recommend this activity - instructor was great and the experience itself something everyone should have a go at! I was picked up in Sumner which is easy to get to with regular buses going from the city centre in Christchurch.
