Information
The flight

We provide foot launched flights from Coronet Peak located just 20 minutes drive from the centre of town. Let the SkyTrek courtesy shuttle pick you up from town and drive you to one of our launch areas ranging from 3800 feet to 5500 feet high. The highest commercial take-off in New Zealand.

Your pilot will gently guide you through the steps required to become airborne with us so you can enjoy the breath taking views from Coronet Peak across the Queenstown Surrounds. Our friendly and professional team of tandem pilots are highly experienced and will ensure your experience will be one to remember!

History

SkyTrek pioneered tandem Hang Gliding in New Zealand and has been established for over 30 years and during that time we have flown over 75,000 customers. Co-owner and pilot Ian Clark 2021 NZ Hang Gliding National Champion. Co-owner and pilot Shai Lanuel most experienced paragliding instructor in New Zealand. Let our internationally qualified tandem pilots show you what it's like to fly like a bird

Transport : We supply a courtesy van which departs from outside The Station building, Queenstown. Allow one and a half hours for either the tandem Paragliding or Hang Gliding summer flights. Allow 2 hours for our winter flights.

Spectators : If you're accompanying a fare-paying passenger, come along for the ride in our courtesy shuttle and enjoy the panorama (on a space-available basis).

Photos : Photos and Videos are available using a GoPro that captures you, your pilot and the amazing scenery around you. They are available to purchase on landing.

Waiver : You will be required to complete a waiver and medical condition disclosure form.


Health and Wellbeing: We try our best to cater to all of our customers circumstances, if you are unsure please contact us to discuss any medical conditions. Please note that pregnant passengers can only participate within the first 20 weeks of pregnancy on Paragliding only

Age and Weight limitations : Maximum limit of 120kg for Paragliding, 100kg for Hang gliding. Weight limitations reduce March to May - 110 kg for Paragliding, 90kg for Hang Gliding. SkyTrek has flown passengers aged 4 to 90. Passengers aged 18 or under require parents' or guardians' permission.

During the winter, we operate from the top of Coronet Peak. To access this area, the customer and pilot need to ride the chairlifts up to the top of the mountain. If the customer doesn't have a ski pass, they will need to purchase a foot pass for $35 on top of the cost for the flight (available for purchase from Skytrek at the time of check-in). The foot pass is not included in the price for the flight as many of our customers already have their own ski-passes which they can use (make sure you bring it with you)

Closure Period: We close temporarily in May and June until the ski-field opens (typically mid-June). During this time we don't operate any hang gliding or paragliding flights.
