“This was truly one of the best things I have done in my life! I’m actually scared of heights, but did the 12,000 foot jump and was not scared at all. It was a beautiful day, I had absolute confidence in my jump master, and the whole thing was incredibly exhilarating, enjoyable and fun. I will do it again ! My teenagers had the time of their lives- this is a must do activity in Queenstown. This operation is so incredibly professional - I had no doubt about the safety and competence of the entire team. Thank you NZone for giving me one of the most fun and memorable days…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 180 reviews · 1h 30m · from $208

Tandem paragliding from Coronet Peak for views over Wakatipu Valley. Smooth takeoff and landing, expert pilots, about 90 minutes total.

“I had a great time paragliding with Skytreck! It was my first time paragliding and I can’t recommend it more! Skytreck was very organized and efficient and I felt very safe the whole time. You meet at their office in downtown Queenstown, and then they bus you to the take off spot which is about a 15 minute drive. The take off is at one of the ski resorts and is the highest launch point on New Zealand! But because it is in land from the lake, you will NOT be paragliding right over the main downtown area and the lake, instead you are further inland from the lake. But…”
