Hi, I am really into photography and was wondering if I would be able to bring my own camera (gopro even) for photos? Also which do you think will be better for photos, paragliding or hang-gliding. I think hang-gliding looks more thrilling but wasn’t sure if it would be good for taking photos etc
Please help me make up my mind and advise me if I can bring my own camera
Hi Alex,
Many thanks for your message. You are welcome to bring your own go pro for the paragliding if you have it mounted on a wrist or chest harness. Any other attachment is not good for safety reasons. Also bigger cameras are a no go, sorry. No cameras are allowed when hang gliding, again fore safety reasons. Hope this makes sense. See you soon.

Hey guys! I’m travelling by motorcycle and was wondering can I travel to landing/pickup site myself?
Hi Will,
Many thanks for your message. The pick up location outside the Cardrona Shop, 37 Camp Street is only a loading zone. You will need to park your motorcycle somewhere in town I am afraid. We do not pick up from the landing site, sorry.
I would like to ask about the cancellation policy. Can I have full refund if I cancel my booking of hang gliding due to some urgent reasons before 48 hours of the activity date?
Yes you can get a full refund for cancellations outside 48 hours of departure.

Do you allow pregnant women on the paragliding tandems? I will be approximately 5 months pregnant at the time of my visit.
Hi!
We do allow pregnant women to come paragliding. However it is at your own risk. I would say if you are 5 months pregnant you probably are a little too far into your pregnancy, sorry.

I am coming on a company trip at the end of February and do not have the itinerary of activities for our group as of yet… so wondering if I will be able to book hang gliding with you once I arrive for the week?? Also, I believe I will be able to view the photos to purchase before leaving your facility…is that correct? Thank you!
Hi Annette!
Many thanks for your email. Yes, no problem to book your hang glide with us once you arrive in Queenstown.
You then can ring us on our freephone number 0800 46 7325 or book through our website, whatever is easier.
And yes, the pilots take videos and photos during your flight, which you can view on the landing site and decide from there if you want to purchase them or not.
Looking forward to meeting you end of February.

Hi, I am from Malaysia,a typically tropical country where temperatures ranging between 28C.~33C. Seeing from the pictures and video clips the gliders wore winter suits, though it was in summer. The gusting winds must be freezing!
I’am 64 yrs old and this is gonna be my first time experience, My plan is a tandem hand gliding sometimes in early Nov.2013, however I am not sure of the clothing preparations.
Q1. Are the suits being provided/or can it be rented at the site.
Q2. Can family members accompany to the site?

Hi Azali!
Many thanks for your email.
We do hang gliding from early September right through to middle of May, so that is from spring, via summer right through to autumn. So the picture you were looking at might have been taken during the colder months.
Early November sounds like a great plan and temperatures should be warmer then already. We do recommend to bring some warmer gear. You can always leave it in our van, that picks you up at the landing site. Also, we do put jackets onto our customers to protect their clothing as you will be landing on wheels. Your family is very welcome to come along for a ride, as long as we have got room in our van. Alternatively if one of your family members can drive the car, you can follow in your car and have one of your family drive the car down to the landing site.
Hope this all helps.
