What you can expect

Take your sense of adventure to new heights with an unforgettable tandem paragliding flight over Queensland’s stunning tropical coastline. With a professional tandem pilot, you’ll enjoy a safe and exhilarating experience thanks to a smooth beach take-off where no cliff jumping is required. After a friendly pre-flight briefing, gear up and make your way along the sand, feeling the anticipation build before being gently lifted into the sky. Once airborne, soak up sweeping views of the Coral Sea, golden beaches, rainforest mountains, and even the Great Barrier Reef.

Your flight is tailored to your style, with options for adrenaline-pumping aerobatics or simply relaxing and gliding peacefully. After 15–20 minutes in the air, descend for a soft, gentle landing right back on the beach. Choose to make your own way or take advantage of a free return transfer service for a seamless experience. With all safety gear, expert guidance, and unbeatable views included, this is the ultimate way to experience the Queensland coast from a whole new perspective.
