We have been flying the ridges and soaring above the cliffs at the famous Cape Byron lighthouse for over 25 years now and the setting for your first hang gliding experience could not be better. Your first tandem flight can truly give you the freedom like only a quiet hang glider can and no previous experience is necessary.
Further lessons and instruction are available to achieve your pilots certificate. We join you up as a HGFA member which gives you trainee membership and allows you to enjoy a tandem flight with third party liability insurance for a further 4 months if you wish to take more flights/lessons.
