Tandem Paragliding
After a few steps down a gentle slope, experience the thrill of paragliding, a must do in Queenstown. You will be harnessed into your comfortable front row seat with your experienced tandem pilot taking the controls. Have an exhilarating joy ride or a relaxed scenic flight.
Our higher take off option is from Rocky Gully. It gives us the opportunity for more aerobatics – more of those spins and turns in the air – for the thrill seekers. If you want a gentle tandem flight but still take off higher, this is also for you.
During the winter months (June – September) the chairlifts allow us access to the snow launch point at the Coronet Peak skifield. The views off the summit are incredible, plus we have 1,100m vertical to play with. This is twice the height of the Queenstown Gondola – and is therefore the finest tandem paragliding experience in Queenstown.
FREE courtesy transport from Queenstown to the flying site and back operates all year round.
Duration: 2 Hours (approx.) Location: Queenstown, New Zealand
From NZ$ 205.00

Trust in Experience & Reviews
The entire experience was just fantastic! I had Cathal for my pilot and he was just awesome. Experience itself was like no other. If you haven't tried paragliding you would tandem with these guys. Really made me wonder if I should seriously get into the sport myself. No regrets doing this one, for sure!!!
Super amazing experience!
Decided to try paragliding for the first time while in Queenstown and used Trip Advisor to select Coronet Peak Tandem Paragliding based on their high rating. So glad we selected this activity with this company and also so glad that I got Juan as my tandem person. So energetic and positive, which made it all the more special. And got a great set of pictures to boot at a very nominal extra cost. Highly recommend!

Best thing I've done in Queenstown!
I've lived in QT for a few years and this is by far the best thing i've done! My mom came over to visit and didn't want to skydive or bungy jump (shame) so i talked her into Paragliding and we both loved it! We were lucky enough to go from the top of Coronet Peak, one of the ski fields, which is only do-able during the winter season. Mom was a bit scared at first but once she got down she wanted to go again!
