TANDEM FLIGHT | Sunrise Hike and Fly
FOR THE FIT ADVENTURE SEEKER.
Join us on the ultimate sunrise adventure experience.
Starting before first light, hike up the mountain with your highly experienced tandem pilot for a sunrise thrill like no other.
Listen to the birds waking as hike, watch the eastern horizon begin to lighten and glow in the sunrise brilliance.
The amount of hiking will be dependant on the mountain used on the day, which is dependant on the weather conditions. But the average hike time is 50-60min, the average altitude gain is 450m vertical, and the horizontal distance covered will be around 4km.
A reasonable level of fitness will be required, but you won't need to carry anything other than yourself and water if you need it.
Due to the early morning timing, these "hike and fly" flights are "top to bottom" glides, with a flight time of around 8-10min.
Hike up, Fly down... what a way to start the day.
We start the hike up 30min prior to first light, and the start timing will be dependant on the month.
Winter = later start around 5:40am-6am
Summer = early start. 4am - 4:30am.
Please note: Unless arranged well in advance, we can only do one of these flights per day.
