Tandem Hang Gliding | Ultralight Instruction | Rentals and Tow Fees | Directions

To soar with the Eagles has been man and woman's dream for centuries. With today's modern technology, Hang Gliding has gained widespread popularity, similar to SCUBA diving, with an excellent safety record. The view is spectacular, the feeling indescribable. Come live your dreams!

TANDEM HANG GLIDING

You can fly TODAY with one of Quest Air's certified tandem instructors, in a glider designed for two-place flight. No experience necessary. We don't need mountains, as we use our specially designed Tow Plane (tug) to get up. Your instructor does the actual takeoff and landing, however, if you desire, you may fly the glider up high in the air, circling in rising air currents.
Quest Air Soaring Center teaches you how to pilot a hang glider through the use of tandem (twoplace) instruction in a specially equipped hang glider. A certified Advanced Tandem Instructor goes along with you in the glider teaching control movements, reading the sky, and optimizing your flight time, until you are competent to pilot the hang glider solo. Generally it takes between 15 to 20 tandem flights before a total beginner will be competent to solo.
Introductory Tandem Flight: $125.00 Additional Tandem Instructional Flights: $75/each Package of 10 tandem flights: $749.00 Package of 20 tandem flights: $1,490.00
