If it’s to try it once, then a Tandem Discovery Flight is the way to go. It takes about 30 minutes all together.

If you were trying a flight to see if you might want to learn how; a better alternative is a ‘Low and Slow’ session. The price is the same as a tandem but it takes 2-3 hours and is done solo on a large glider close to the ground. You sort of duplicate the Wright Bros. flights in length. These lessons need to be booked early and late in the day as they have a narrower weather window; that is, the winds need to be light.

By choosing a Low & Slow, if you were to continue, your entire fee of about $150 would be deducted from the course cost since that session is the start of a course. If you decided to do a tandem after doing a Low & Slow, the tandem would be half price and you would be able to fly the almost the entire flight (with the instructor ready to assist if necessary).

We are offering this because the industry has realized that while everyone loves their tandem flight, it is a rather huge first step. Sort of analogous to trying white water kayaking as a first step to see if you wanted to learn how to paddle a canoe. Sometimes people wonder if flying might be beyond there abilities, while in fact it’s about as easy as riding a bicycle.

Our gift certificates are good for either a tandem or a low and slow. The recipient can choose which they would prefer to do.

A hang glider is a large bird-like kite that is designed to carry passengers. It has a ridgid structure and is controlled by weight shift. Hang gliding is not to be confused with a paragliding or skydiving which use toggle-steerable parachute style canopies or parasailing which is generally done behind boats over water. If you’re still not sure then we recommend taking a look at our photo gallery or film clips. You are also welcome to give us a call or send us an Email.

No; nothing, including sitting in a couch, is completely safe. Our tandem pilots and instructors hold the highest ratings available in Canada and the United States. Not only are we masters in our field, we literally wrote the book on Safety and Risk Management.

Hang gliding has inherent risks like any other sport. Although we do our best to minimize these risks, we cannot guarantee safety. In fact you will be asked to sign a standard liability release or waiver before you can fly. On our side; we collect the fees after you fly and we have flown many thousands of flights without injury. You are taking more of a chance driving out here than you are flying wth us.

There no age limits. Minors must have their parent or guardian sign the liability waiver. We have flown people ranging in age from under 6 to over 90.

The weight range for tandem flights is 60 to 250 lbs; for solo instruction it’s 90 to 350 lbs.  We’ve had successful students on both ends of the scale.

Yes, Ontario is flat here near Toronto. We use a custom-built hydraulic winch and a long tow line to pull us into the air. It is a super-smooth, reliable system which allows us to launch out of a flat field and thus eliminates the need to run off an intimidating precipice.

The tow system we use allows tandems and experienced pilots to gain thousands of feet before releasing the line. It also permits us to teach solo close to the ground and there are no hills to climb!
