I’m in my 60s and had never done this activity before, nor anything like it. I enjoyed the whole experience. If you’re nervous about jumping off a cliff, there’s no need to be. I started to run, the wind picked us up and we were off. Additionally, it was a slope, not a cliff. The pilots will give you as gentle or as rocky ride as you like.

I thought the price was a bit steep, especially for the photos. However, I have no regrets about either doing the jump or about buying the photos.

The booking was easy and quick! I was able to book very shortly before the paragliding. The employees were very nice and friendly. I can recommend booking here!
Product rating:
The experience with the paragliding was amazing! I loved this new activity and had a great, experienced pilot. It was a lot of fun. I can definitely recommend the booking!

Flight (tandem paraglide) - amazing! Experience in its entirety - very, very average. This was a gift from my children - except SkyTrek's price has gone up, and Everything New Zealand wanted an additional $50 before accepting my booking. My children purchased a voucher for a tandem paraglide; the nature of a voucher means it should be honoured regardless of price increases. Queenstown's tourism providers do themselves no favours. It's a bit like only getting $80 groceries for your $100 supermarket voucher, or a 30 minute massage rather than the 60 minute massage you paid for. Disappointing, and would NOT recommend.

Beautiful views from Coronet Peak, the flight was really good fun.

Just the additional costs for pictures was a bit steep in my opinion.
Thanks

The information about the activity was slightly misleading. It said the video was included. In reality, what was included was just a 1-minute teaser video and not the full video as implied. The website didn't do a good job specifying. I might avoid your site in the future and prefer to search out the vendors' individual sites.
Product rating:
The activity was excellent and professionally run.
Reply from Everything Travel Group
Hi Michael. Hi Michael. Thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear there was some confusion about the video. As far as we were aware the full video was supplied to you after your flight. I will be asking the manager of Skytrek why this is no longer the case and will remove the relevant information from our site so future travellers are not mislead. We do pride ourselves on giving customers the opportunity to see what is available in Queenstown all on the one website without having to rely on specific tour operators telling them that 'their product' is best. Most travellers appreciate our non biased opinions given we aren't aligned with any specific tours. The Everything Travel Group have been selling tours in Queenstown for over 15 years and always appreciate hearing back from our customers. Thanks again for your time and we hope your travel home safely.
regards

Latest Questions about Paragliding - Skytrek (Queenstown)
Morning
Is it possible see if Buz is around to take our daughter again Saffron? We are here for 10 days
Possible to do the longer one this time
How much does the photos and videos cost
Im interested in the paragliding from coronet peak. Can 2 people come up and watch? Is this included in the town pick up or ca. they meet you somewhere up the top?
Comments
Thanks so much for your enquiry about Skytrek Paragliding from Coronet Peak. The pick-up for this activity is in town, and SOMETIMES they can cater for spectators but cannot guarantee space in the van. Alternatively, if the spectators have a vehicle then they can drive themselves to watch you.
Will I be able to see the lake?
Comments
Heya. If you paraglide with Skytrek you will not really see the lake the location is more views of the mountains which is seriously amazing. If you wish to have views of Queesntown and lake wakatipu you would need to book with Gforce.
