Read about this attraction in the tourist brochures and my husband thought it sounded like fun. My 10 year old daughter and I hadn't really considered it - we were just going to watch and take photos. Once we got out to Trevallyn Dam and saw the landscape we were already happy, even seeing a few wallabies up in the bush. The lady working there was so friendly and accommodating. Once my daughter saw my husband have his turn she said that she might like to try it. The lady allowed my daughter to try the harness and see if she thought she would gain the confidence to do it. She did, twice in the end, and was so excited. In the end I also took the plunge and it was an amazing experience. The website states "experience the sensation of hang gliding under controlled conditions as you soar over an eighteen metre cliff to your landing point two hundred metres from the take-off platform". And that's exactly how it felt. I would recommend this fun activity to anyone who may not have thought they could dare do hang gliding. It felt totally safe and was just so much fun!

Great experience for all ages
Children ages: 4, 8, 11 all enjoyed two rides each, discount provided by the operator for second glide!
Easy to access, great safety mechanism and overall good value, if you have a 'gap' in your northern Tasmanian tour itinerary, try this activity.

Best $20 I have spent in a long time? I had so much adrenalin pumping through my body I ran 300 metres up the hill to the launch platform for my second flight. The lady operating the attraction was a great help not only providing guidance on how to best enjoy the flight but what we should be doing for our short stay in Launceston. A great ambassador for the region.
I happily recommend the cable hang glide no matter what your age including 50+.

Booked and paid in full online this morning and received confirmation. I arrived by taxi an hour later to find that the company had been shut all day due to weather. Yet they were still happy to take full payment upfront. End result: a waste of a $40 cab fare for me. Avoid this company and do the Hollybank Treetops Adventure instead, which is run by professionals.

Woman running the facility was super friendly and gave us a great deal as we have a larger family. If you have kids you should definitely check it out if you are in Launceston.

I recommend this to everyone who is visiting Launceston, after climbing up around the quarry face you are greeted by a lovely lass who secures you to the cable hang glider. You then run off the end of the platform and enjoy the amazing rush of fresh air. Highly recommended.

My daughter loved this being her first time very safe for children and adults a like. Jumping of a cliff takes skill but the view is awesome and the landing a tad bumpy. There is noone at the bottom to help you so make sure you know how to take of your harness..

Called and checked they were open and arrived to find no queue at all. My daughter loved it. A bit extreme but very safe. The lady operating the cable was welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend to this age group.

My two boys (8 & 11 years) had a blast doing this. Great fun. Highly recommend it. Kids can either go on their own or double up. They don't operate when wet and/or windy - so call first if you're not sure (number on their website).
