- Amanda S00Exhilarating Way To See QueenstownWhat an exciting way to see Queenstown, a big thank you to Blake for calming my nerves and making me feel safe and secure. This is a great way to experience all that Queenstown has to offer and the view is breathtaking. A must do experience for all ages
- 264richam00Fantabulously ThrillingIt was my first paragliding experience and all I can say is that it was the best thing I have ever done !!! The whole experience from take off to gliding in the air and then landing was very smooth and excellent. The photos and video taken by my pilot Tom are beautiful. I loved every moment of it.
- S6654NJsimones00Great experienceThe experience and the view was amazing. They are awesome. They make you feel comfortable. They are very responsible in what they are doing. I will definitely recommend to everyone. Great job.
- Philip M00Tandem paragliding.I am not great with heights, but Dom relaxed me straight away with his instruction and Kiwi professionalism. I had an awesome time and would gladly do it all over again. If you're not sure, I would say just do it. You only live once.
- caroljeans202000Had so much fun soaring over Queenstown!Super awesome experience. Signed up to do it on a whim after we saw some other people gliding over town and they were able to fit me and my husband into their schedule. Buzz and Todd were great flight guides. It felt safe the entire time and I loved having a birds eye view of beautiful Queenstown.
- Nazia931400Great fun!Fantastic experience! Highly recommend to anyone in the Queenstown area. My instructor was Buzz and he was great! He made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire ride and made it so much fun.
- C718LTlaural00Absolutely freakin awesomeMe and my mum did for the first time of our life paragliding and wouaaah what a blessing, what a wonderful experience. I have flight with Marieka and she was extremely nice, professional, explaining really well, asking regularly for feedback, proposing when i felt safe to do some trick at my own pace. Nonetheless my mum and me want to do it again but it inspired as well my mum to do one day some skydiving
- nostrebor_family00This was amazingIt might look a bit scary - but it's very smooth and easy and relaxing. CLEM was my instructor / host. She was so good! Highly recommended. You will not regret this investment in fun.
- landrette00SensationalMy hubby and I did this on our honeymoon and it was such a blast. It was an impromptu decision we will never regret and probably the highlight of an incredible Queenstown holiday. The staff are so amazing that we had no nerves, just enjoyed the magnificent sensation of flying over one of the most picturesque locations in the world. Thanks Nat for your encouragement. Wouldn’t have done it without you. An absolute must do when in Queenstown.
- yaelosherov00Lovely!George was amzing and relaxing! I realy enjoyd 😊 the view is absolotly beautifull and if doing this , this is the right place
- Sue B00Ticked off the bucket listBooked early bird. On the day it was cancelled due to bad weather. Next day we went up on the gondola and rebooked on spare of the moment. G Force honoured the early bird discount. Tom, the instructor was very nice. Extremely smooth take off and landing. Amazing views. If you get motion sickness, take precautions first as I was wrecked for the rest of the day 😅 So glad I did this. Thank you.
- 672donaldm00The highlight of trip to Queenstown, nothing tops it!I had a great time this afternoon Paragliding down the mountain with my excellent pilot. I’ve never done this before and it takes you a while to get to the place where you jump off. You take the Skyline lift then a Jeep ride to the highest point. Then you get strapped in and then run off the front of the mountain! The feeling when you are traveling down is one of peace. If you want the pilot will do some maneuvers to add some extra excitement. I was content to fly high above the town and the lake. The views were awesome. While it costs you about $240 for the ride and another $51 for the pictures and video it is worth every penny. I would do it again if we were going to be in town another day!! Loved every second.
- Ian L00Wow this was amazingMy wife and I both went up with G force. She took some convincing but they made her feel very safe and were meticulous in their whole approach to safety and the way they interact with you. There aren't any words to describe the feeling of floating way up in the sky with Queenstown below. The landing was also very straightforward . all you have to do is listen to your buddy and do what they tell you to do.
- David T00Second time and outstanding again!18 months ago I flew with pilot Georges (he’s French!) and was fortunate enough to fly with him again today. Amazing flight. The entire GForce team was professional, safe and fun. No better way to see NZ. If the scale was 1-10 I would give this team a 15! Do it. David T.
- Bianca M00Very niceWonderful experience, although short and expensive. The pilot Petr was great. Very kind, friendly and professional. I was lucky. The wind conditions were perfect and the weather was nice. Pictures came out so beautifully. If you have some extra money to spend, I highly recommend paragliding as long as weather conditions are ok ( ask the GForce team when booking ) .

An absolutely amazing experience - would highly recommend, the instructor was knowledgeable and friendly, and offered for us to do a couple acrobatic tricks such as going upside down. He also took some great photos of both me and both of us which I bought, and think are great. The scenery was also incredible, and I’m so happy of all places I did it here.

It was simply amazing.
The pilot was very personable and explained what I needed to do in a gentle bantering manner.
I’m not usually comfortable around heights and the experience, for me, was not scary.
Exhilarating and thrilling.
I like how you can view the video and photos to opt in/out of purchasing them.
The check in was seamless and our wait wasn’t too bad given there were queues at the bottom of the gondola that delayed the earlier jumps. As it was, it was 30min for us to get to the top after joining the queue. I’d recommend allowing extra time for the inevitable gondola queues to get to the top during busy the holiday period and peak times.

We had a great time paragliding. They modified our flights based on what we felt comfortable with. My wife wanted a nice floating ride and I wanted a bit more excitement. Both pilots did a great job of making us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend GForce!

The minute we arrived in Queenstown my 9 year old daughter decided she wanted to Paraglide. We were up the top of the Skyline Gondola doing the luge and we booked her in with the friendly and helpful staff at the G Force desk.
Peter was her pilot and he was fantastic and made her feel safe and comfortable during the whole pre-flight and flight experience. He took some amazing in-flight photos and videos which we bought after the flight.
It's not cheap but worth every cent.

Kia ora,
Thanks for this fantastic review and for the recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear your 9-year old daughter had such an awesome experience flying with us and that you also felt safe leaving her in our care. Safety is our priority, so we’re happy to know this shone through for you, as for her. It’s always a pleasure for us to fly brave and adrenaline-seeking kids and we’re very happy Petr gave her the experience of a lifetime. Thanks again!
All the best,

Do not recommend. After making a 1.5 hour trip into Queenstown, waiting in huge lines and paying $88 for Gondola tickets (which are not included in price) to get to where the experience is supposed to take place, while standing outside the GForce office we received a text (24 minutes prior to when we supposed to be there) to say they were closed. I was told on the phone that I should have checked the website, something I wasn't told to do upon booking.
Communication is so poor, very disappointing. I have now read other reviews with similar experiences - wish I had read these prior to booking.

Thank you for your feedback . Unfortunately we were closed that day due to weather conditions and your flight was refunded 100% . Although you purchased your flight through a 3rd party website, the Check-in procedures are very clear on our Website regarding checking our flying status 30 minutes prior to your flight. Our Office staff did in fact try to contact you earlier that morning and we do try our best to contact all of our passengers on a closed day. We empathise with you that you were unable to Fly with us, unfortunately weather conditions are out of our control.
All the best for your next adventure .

This is one of the best things I've ever done! My pilot Dominic was absolutely brilliant - professional and made sure I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. The views were spectacular!! We made the most of the conditions on the day and were able to have an impressively high and long flight time, a real bonus! Was such a calming feeling sailing above all the spectacular scenery. Would definitely recommend gforce paragliding, thank you for making my experience so awesome!

First time paragliding and we took flight with Gavin & Brendan. These guys were excellent. Really friendly, had a great conversation with them both which helped with the nerves. They confidently talked us through the process and what will happen and when, then before we knew it, we were mid flight and loving every second of it.
Smooth easy landing and the photos/videos they take are 100% worth the money.
Great trip, worth every penny. 5*

Was only going to watch my husband paraglide but the team were so friendly and reassuring that I decided to have a go myself. I’m not a thrill seeker and not great with heights either. Brendan put me at ease straight away and I can honestly say that this was one of the best things I’ve ever done. The views of Queenstown are incredible and I would thoroughly recommend this activity with this team. Some great video footage and photos were also taken which were worth every penny.

If my 75-year old mother who joined us can do it, you can too!
On holiday here in Queenstown, and we booked the early bird flight (starts around 10am). After waiting for the weather to clear up, we took a short 5 minute walk to the launch area.
We have a 10 year old, 13 year old, two 46 year olds, and a 75 year old in our group! My wife is about 7 months removed from her ACL surgery, and my mom had a hip replacement, so we were concerned about the landing...but IT WAS SO SMOOTH and they didn't experience any problems both on landing and take off.
We all felt very safe, and the pilots were pros at not only the technical mechanics of flying, but of encouraging you pre flight. They were very calm and patient especially with my 10 year old boy who has a feat of heights. But to see the smile on his face after his flight!!! He had conquered his fear and was smiling ear to ear!!!
A+ experience all around, and by far one of the best experiences we've done as a family.
My daughter said it best, "After doing that, you have the confidence to do a lot of other things!"

Never paraglide before but was keen to give it ago. Booking on the website was easy enough I went for the early bird time. I had a couple of questions which i emailed and got a response too back quickly.
The morning of my paragliding I rang as informed to do so to check if the trip was happening. I was told to wait at the bottom of the gondola where I’d be informed of it was going ahead or not.
I was informed that we couldn’t do the paragliding from the top of the gondola due to high winds but instead from coronet peak. Transport provided. There was at the point lots of confusion and and it all seemed a little unorganised. However after a short ride we where are the peak.
My instructor guide was Luke. He was friendly and explained everything well. The paragliding was everything and more, it truly was such an amazing feeling. The views are breathtaking and what better way to see QT.
I would highly recommend!
