What an awesome experience to tandem paraglide - just loved it. Didnt think I could do it but so glad I did. We had an awesome day. Took the gondola, then a chair lift, then a 10 minute walk to reach the summit from where we took off. Safety briefing provided then off the edge you walk briskly and commence... More

Only in Queenstown for one full day, we had booked a flight for 11.00m but the weather came in overnight and in the morning it was low cloud. Tried calling as they requested no message or call back, so we went to the gondola to be told by them it was cancelled! Called G force who didn't seem to bothered... More

Tandem paraglided with G Force and they were awesome. Very professional and allayed any fears I had. You catch gondola then a chair lift and then walk for another 10 minutes to the top of Bob's Peak. You get your instructions then walk briskly off a slope over the edge and...glide!!! The glide lasts for about 8 minutes and was... More

Not that often you can run off of the top of a mountain and fly. And unlike bungy where you just fall, paragliding really feels like flying. I loved it so much I want to ho get my own parachute! My guide Dean was the best! Definitely do this! More

These guys are the only ones with a permit to jump from Ben Lomond (where the Gondola and Luge are). Mike - the Director - took my 6 year old daughter up and she landed happy, safe and wanting more! They guides take Go Pros up with them so they capture the experience as stills and in video. This is... More

This is a great alternative to bungy jumping if you can't work up the nerve to jump off of a bridge (or fork out loads of money for a 30 second rush!). The pilots are very experienced and create a sense of calm, which make this less nerve racking than anticipated. The journey down is so peaceful with the most... More

I love trying new things, especially in the 'adventure sports' caegory. The great thing about paragliding is that everyone can do it. You don't need to be brave - it's very graceful. And you still get a rush of endorphins at the end. Two flights weren't enough and I look forward to doing it again!! More

Went to Queenstown last month on holidays and decided to go paragliding. I really enjoyed the flight and would love to go again! You cant beat flying over Queenstown with all that snow on the hills ! More

Still waiting for the winter to arrive. We werte looking for some serious fun and decided to go Paragliding with Gforce. It was an absolutely great experience. Phantastic view from the top of the mountain. Gliding above Queenstown is a wonderful experience and highly recommended. More
