Price range: $- - $-

Tandem Paragliding in Christchurch, New Zealand.

All flights come with a free in-flight photo printed on site and a guaranteed minimum 20 minutes flight duration.

Experience Tandem Paragliding in Christchurch, New Zealand and soar to new heights with with one of the countries most experienced instructors, that will keep you on a high literally.

An action attraction that tops Christchurch's activities. We offer an exciting range of tandem options for the very adventurous to the not so adventurous individual who want to experience the exhilaration of free flight.

Our Philosophy:
We at Parapro call flying Tandem, Trial Instructional Flights. Flying with the instructor provides the easiest and safest way to experience the thrill of paragliding.

There are 2 options to expeirience this exciting sport, via the free flying option or through powered paragliding. The new exciting option of Powered paragliding or paramotoring as sometimes called, provides the benifits of extended flights, exploring further afield and attaining greater heights. Non powered tandem flights provides the sense of free flight, soaring bird-like in the updrafts.

Unlike learning to fly solo, trial instructional tandem flights require only a short pre-flight briefing before you are flying gracefully in the air for the first time! While we are flying, we will explain how the wing works and how it is controlled by the brake handles. By the end of their unforgetable flight, most passengers will have a basic understanding of how a paraglider operates and flies, while using the updrafts to stay aloft.

Some passengers want a very exciting experience with big wing overs and spiral dives. For the addrenaline seekers, sign up for the "thrill seeker" flight option and you will be given an aerobatic experience you will never forget! For the less adventurous types that want a peaceful gliding experience without the adrenaline rush try the Freedom of flight tandem option.

We can also offer you a variety of sites. They may include Taylor's Mistake, White Wash Heads, Castle Rock. Upper Cass and Allandale.

The experience is not soon forgotten. Have you heard; "If people were meant to fly they would have wings" Well we do!

Easy booking, but experience not quite what expected
Very easy booking, quick communication from company, but the person who had the experience only recieved a very quick hello, quick explanation of how to run and lean back before take off for paraglide, but nothing else. We were all waiting down at Taylors mistake to watch landing, but our friend landed up on hill where he took off from, so unable to take any pictures, then had to drive back up to pick him up. Felt all this should have been explained and discussed before paraglide, other than that my friend did really enjoy the paraglide, was just a bit disappointing for us.

Thanks for the oppurtunity to paraglide, it was an amazing experience. The team were not as well organised as I would have hoped however I still had a great time...

Great experience
The Paraglide really was great brithday gift. The organising of the event was hard work. On the original date I was not contacted to tell me that it was cancelled due to bad weather and I was left waiting in the car park for 30 mins. I understand that this event is very weather dependent but I had to keep chasing the organiser to confirm a new date even when it obvious that the weather was perfect. But when I eventually got the flight it exceeded expectations. I just feel that there should have been better communication between the organiser and myself.

I had a blast doing the paragliding!
My instructor dave, was pretty cool. made it easy with his laid back style which I liked. I cant think of any way to improve the experience at all.
