Go for it. Worth every penny. - Had a blast. I wish I had more money and I would do it several more times . Cagri was an awesome pilot and very nice. He even let me “drive”. I reserved tickets online from hotel room at the Hilton. Caught a shuttle to downtown Queenstown and walked to the shop . After getting weighed we were shuttled about 20 minutes to the launch pad. It was a nice ride and our driver was good to ask our names and make everyone feel welcome aboard.

The price for the photos is steep at $80! - The paragliding experience is awesome . The tandem pilots are all experienced, from countries like Israel, Venezuela, Turkey, USA etc. Of course it is expensive.. what hurts is the 2% surcharge they ( and most other establishments in NZ) charge for credit card payments. Add to that the huge $80 per head charge for the photos of your glide .. they tell you about it after you are already signed on of course !

Best paraglide in Qtown - This is a better experience than the
extremely (and I mean beyond absurdly) overpriced tourist trap experience of Gondola area paraglide. Skytrek will quickly take you direct from downtown on short ride to takeoff. Paraglide is longer and more scenic than Gondola area one. Alexander was my excellent pilot.

Terrible - Absolutely terrible. I highly recommend going through someone else. They were not helpful at all and was not able to go but paid for it.
