I came by myself in October. The service was great, and they gave us over 24 hours of warning for postponing my flight due to the weather to give us time to plan the rest of our visit to Queenstown. I was the only person in our group doing the higher takeoff so it felt very personal. I'd highly recommend the instructional package as this gives you an opportunity to fly the paraglider and is a very good price (only $15NZD). My pilot was constantly videoing all of the highlights of the flight, e.g. Me flying, tricks, etc. Overall a great experience and would highly reccomend this for people who wanted to do activities in the air but didn't want the free fall.

Our two teenagers were very keen to try paragliding so we booked a flight a week or so prior to going to Queenstown for a weekend. On the Friday night the weather for flight day Sunday morning looked pretty horrible so called Coronet Peak Hang Gliding to see if we could move the booking - this was at 9:30 Friday night! They answered the phone and couldn't have been more helpful and happily moved our booking to Saturday morning.
We were picked up at 9 Saturday morning and by 9:30 were up Coronet peak with two very excited teens and perfect weather after a short but comprehensive intro they were off into the sky and a fantastic expereince landing at the cafe down the bottom of Coronet Peak where we sat in the sun and looked at the pictures from the flights and watched others land in front of us.
The pilots were very expereinced and very friendly as were all the people from CPHG. We had a blast!
Highly reccommend these guys.

Easy booking and straightforward set up. Very friendly crew who made sure everyone felt at ease. Did tandem with Rene who obviously loves his job and is passionate about paragliding. He took fabulous pictures and video and was attentive to how I felt throughout the 20+min trip from the top of Coronet Peak. We did acrobatics and he made sure that I felt safe. The views of Qtown are gorgeous and well worth the trip independently of the thrill of being up there.

The weather was little cloudy so we had to wait at first. After a short period of time we were able to fly! My wife was little nervous before jump but in the air she was more relaxed than me. The pilots were really nice and professional, and the view was awesome, thank you!

I was nervous at it was my first time trying out tandem paragliding. It was surprisingly a very smooth ride without any real bumps or distorts. I wasn't keen on any tricks involving g-force, and my paraglider was very considerate of my decision and respected my wishes. When you're high up and far from the ground without any control, the trust between you and the paraglider has to be mutual. I'm glad it was this time and I am confident in recommending this tandem paragliding company to others. Go experience something surreal and if you ever become too afraid of doing any stunts, remember that you are in control. Your paraglider will listen to your wishes and respect them. Give this a go for sure! :)

Highly recommend the higher take off option with Coronet Peak paragliding. Pick up, service, the take off (running off cliff with amazing views - just spectacular), flight and landing were all super smooth and professional. I felt safe and well looked-after throughout. Loved the aero tricks for a bit of extra thrill :) Thanks team!

It was a very good experience. Everything was arranged very well. The paragliders whom we flew with were very good at their job and very friendly. They made sure we had a good experience with all safety measures. However, the driver of the shuttle who took us their did not have a very good attitude and not friendly or warm. We did not like the ride with him. He must learn good customer service to do his job well.

That was the best thing I've done in New Zealand. The pilots are so experienced and make you feel save all the time. The photos and videos are high of quality. This experience was the best ever and I just can tell everybody to do it, it's definitely worth it!

My flying experience was one of a kind and i wanted to do it again straight away.
My pilot Luke found an amazing thermal lifting us 900' and it felt we could have flown all afternoon.
I had a brief fly myself with the controls which gave a great feel for the power of the kite.
We thought there was a lack of safety briefing and Amanda would have liked to have known about the parachute that the pilots carried.
Overall a truly memorable experience to be repeated soon.

Dear lovatfraser58, Great to hear, you guys had a fantastic time flying with us. Many thanks for taking the time to review us here on Tripadvisor. I would like to respond to your comment in regards to safety briefing. Our safety briefings are standardised and have been fine tuned over the last 21 years that we have flown more than 30 000 passengers. We found, it is better to keep it short and focus on the most important things you want passengers to remember. The emergency parachute is not mentioned, as it would draw attention onto and it is not something passengers should get involved with. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Queenstown. Many thanks for supporting local. Regards, Gitti Tapper
