What makes it 62% Kids-Friendly: Kids roughly eight years and older may tandem glide if within weight limits and with signed consent, but high price, weather exposure, and no on-site toilets or play areas lower overall family convenience.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: A flight plus transfers and safety briefing fits into a half-day without overwhelming kids.
Tandem Paragliding Flight:
Launch gently from Coronet Peak and glide over Queenstown with an expert pilot.
Tip: Book morning slots when winds are calm and kids are alert.
Pre-flight Safety Briefing:
Learn basic hand signals and landing procedures before take-off.
Tip: Arrive 30 minutes early so kids can ask questions and feel comfortable.
Scenic Shuttle Ride:
Enjoy the courtesy shuttle ride from town to the launch site.
Tip: Have non-flying kids use the shuttle as a free spectator seat to watch launches.

I went with Sedat as my pilot and it was the best experience ever. The scenery and photos were incredible. He was so knowledgeable and made the experience so fun. I can’t wait to do this again. Weather can be a hit or miss so make sure to book your experience early in case you have to rebook!

The service was efficient, as we didn’t make any advance booking online. The staff was professional. Jayden, my pilot for the paragliding, was experienced, friendly and accommodating! He ensured that I’m ok throughout the ride. He was also a good photographer and videographer too! The photos he took were beautiful! Thank you for your service Jayden! Highly recommend to drop by Queenstown for parag...
In summer, flights run from early morning to evening—book ahead for sunset views. In winter, bring extra layers as temperatures drop on Coronet Peak and check snow conditions may limit launch access.
