Had the best experience hang gliding with Brian
Had the best experience hang gliding with Brian! I took my boyfriend as a birthday surprise and he was not disappointed. We were both first-timers, me much more hesitant but both felt completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the flight. Such a beautiful way to see the amazing coast around Cape Byron, we even saw some whales! Will definitely be recommending to family and friends.
