One Day Course

Diane made a vid to give an impression of the first day training with Wings & Waves at Karioitahi Beach.

This course is a fun and exciting day during which we teach you the basics of flying.

You will start by learning how to inflate, launch and control a Paraglider, while you are initially firmly on the ground.

Once that is mastered and you feel comfortable controlling the glider, you then soon progress to small flights and later even to a couple of solo flight should you feel confident enough.

You will be surprised how quickly you may progress. We aim for several solo flights in the end of the day.

What is different in a course with Wings & Waves is that we take maximum 3 new pilots per day per qualified instructor and thoroughly teach you the basics on paragliding from the first day. We use modern paragliders where the conditions allow, mini gliders where appropriate and give you our un-devided attention.

Cost: $ 190 per person per day.
