Our beginner hang gliding lesson with Rich and Megan was awesome! They made the experience super fun and comfortable. Rich was a great instructor. I’d highly recommend trying to hang glide-it was a great experience!

It was an amazing experience. The instructors are friendly and they made everything so easy.
Due to weather conditions they had to cancel for the day we had scheduled, but they gave us many options and were very attentive to reschedule us before we had to leave Outer Banks.

The flight instructors were very patient with the group of 5 we were a part of. Each person got 5 flights down the dune. There was good wind. You never felt scared because they went right beside you giving instructions the whole way down! What a great way to check this off the bucket list!

The boys had a great time with the instructors, they are so energetic and attentive .Also the view is amazing. Definitely will come back!

The instructors were informative, patient, and supportive in a humorous way. The view was incredible and it was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I only got in one flight because I did pull a hamstring, so be sure to stay loose and warm. WORTH the one flight though!

My husband and I decided on hang gliding as a fun activity for our tenth anniversary trip. The staff was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. The instructions provided are simple and you always have an instructor with you. We felt very safe the whole time. Would definitely recommend!

This was a stellar experience. Go in the morning when it’s not quite as hot because you’re going to be doing ALOT of walking up dunes.
But the guides were professional, kind, and funny.
Stellar family experience
(Our group ranged from 7-45)
