This activity receives our personal recommendation!TANDEM PARAGLIDING requires no prior experience. The USHGA certified instructor briefs the student pilot in general procedures then its up and away. The parachute is specially designed for two person flights with two independent harnesses that holds the instructor and student pilot comfortably in the seated position. The instructor launches the glider and once in flight instructs the student pilot on how to maneuver the paraglider. If the conditions allow and the student pilot is interested the instructor will turn over the controls to them. Student pilots are encouraged to bring a camera or video recorder to capture the spectacular views they will be enjoying.  $150 per hour of flight time.
