Yes, we typically have 2-4 tandem hang gliding instructors available to fly.

SEASONS: We hang glide tandem and solo all year long and have amazing flights every month of the year. Winter (Southern Hemisphere) has good flying but definitely doesn't get as many days of the week as other times of the year.

TIME OF DAY: Sunrise to sunset in the summer is often good for hang gliding in the summer.
Ten AM to three PM is often a good time to fly in the heart of winter.
The wind direction is most affected by the big-scale scenario, ie., the weather systems that move across Australia.

It's no problem to take your hands off of the controls - as long as you're away from any nearby objects! The hang glider will recover on it's own every time! Training is just needed to launch and land the hang glider. That's what the tandem pilot is for!

By the way, the hang gliders cannot get into an unrecoverable dive or spiral. They are self-righting. Of course, proper care needs to be taken by each pilot to ensure they fly responsibly, within their own window of capability.

We offer tandem hang gliding flights at Bald Hill, Stanwell Tops, at the southern tip of the Royal National Park. This lookout is a popular destination on the northern end of the Grand Pacific Drive.

We also offer tandem flights and instruction from Hill 60 at Port Kembla. These flights provide spectacular views of the "Five Islands" and Port Kembla Beach to the south. Pelicans often share the coastal air with us while flying at Hill 60.

Top end: 50-90 mph (80-140kph) , depending on the pilot and glider.

No, it’s about the amount of wind you hear in your ears when riding a bicycle. It’s easy to have a chat with each other when flying tandem.

No! It takes a light touch, not lots of muscle. Hang gliding tandem with a good onshore breeze is not physically demanding whatsoever. We’ve shared the experience with many seniors, children, and folks with physical challenges. EVERYONE deserves to fly!

Light rain is ok. But flying near building “storm-cells” is NOT cool.

If you wake up and it's raining, don't call the whole thing off YET! We often get beautiful days/flights from mornings that started out dreary. The most important factor of the weather is the WIND forecast. The rain, clouds, and sun may come and go many times throughout a day, providing epic opportunities.
IF, the day does get called off because of the wind forecast (direction mostly)....no problem. Just pick another date you’d like to book, or we’d be happy to help you pick a day in the next few days that looks suitable.
