With an experienced tandem pilot by your side, you’ll embark on a safe and unforgettable sky-high adventure. Experience tandem paragliding like never before with our unique beach launch—say goodbye to cliff jumps and instead enjoy a smooth, effortless take-off right from the shore. Feel the gentle lift as you soar into the sky, gliding peacefully above stunning beaches, lush rainforest-covered mountains, and the sparkling expanse of the Great Barrier Reef below.

As you fly with the birds, you'll take in breathtaking panoramic views of the tropical coastline, truly immersing yourself in a paragliding paradise. Your flight can be tailored to your preferences—choose to add some thrilling aerobatics for an adrenaline rush, or simply relax and enjoy the serene beauty as you glide through the air. After 20 minutes of flying, you’ll gently descend and land back on the beach, a smooth return to earth after your exhilarating sky adventure.

Note

Tandem flights are weather-dependent so there may be delays or changes to your flight if weather conditions are unsuitable for flying. We kindly ask for your patience, understanding and flexibility should this situation arise – the weather is out of our control and your safety is our top priority. If we cannot fly due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, we will reschedule your flight free of charge

How It Works

Getting There: Make your own way or get picked up by our friendly driver (see the 'Transfers' section below for pick-up options)
Pre-Flight Preparation: Once you've arrived, receive a briefing on safety procedures and what to expect during the flight. Gear up and make your way along the beach to get ready for take-off
Flight Experience: Take-off from the beach, feeling yourself effortlessly lifted into the sky using a unique tow launch method. Soar above the coastline and enjoy panoramic views of the Coral Sea, beautiful beaches, and rainforest-clad mountains. After 15-20 minutes of flying, land back on the beach gently and safely
Group Bookings: Group bookings are welcome. Please note that only one person can book a 30-minute time slot as only one person will fly at a time. Individuals in groups can fly one after the other, so when booking please select a different time slot for each person. After clicking ‘add to cart’ for one-time slot, simply navigate back to the calendar to book a different time slot until all time slots have been selected and added to your cart
