Looking for a different Christmas gift for a loved one, family member or even a friend why not consider a Gift Voucher for a flight in one of our gliders.
Purchase someone (even yourself) the gift of flight with an Air Experience Voucher from Gliding Tasmania. Soar like an eagle using the skill of your pilot and the energy from Mother Nature!
Your instructor will explain the features of our two-seater dual-control glider in a ground briefing before strapping you in for the ride of your life. Our powerful tow-plane will then tow you up to your release height (2500ft or 5000ft for a Deluxe flight), where your instructor will release the tow rope. From then on you become a true soaring being and will seek out rising air currents (thermals) to climb on solar energy. Often we will be joined by one or more large wedgetail eagles as we circle in a thermal. A qualified flight instructor will perform the takeoff and landing, but between times you will have the opportunity to take control of the glider under the guidance of your instructor.
The voucher may be redeemed most Sundays and flights last for approximately 20 minutes or longer for a Deluxe flight, but are weather dependent. An Air Experience Voucher costs $220 or $370 for a Deluxe flight and can be purchased immediately, securely, and online using a Credit Card or Internet Banking.
Gliding is suitable for people of a wide age range (i.e. 10-70) however, due to the size restrictions in the cockpit we cannot fly people who are heavier than 110kg.
For other payment methods (i.e. cheque or money order), questions, or special requests please contact Richard Doyle on [telnumlink]0419 992 264 [/telnumlink].
Gliding is an outdoor sport it may be affected by the weather. It is a good idea to contact Richard on [telnumlink]0419 992 264 [/telnumlink] or another instructor on the Contact page the night before to discuss the conditions for the following day.
