The only company permitted in the South Island to be able to do so. You can fly as a solo or fly with a mate Tandem. If you dare grab you can even grab two mates and fly as a triple. Flights can be catered for your level of comfort. You can choose from a gentle scenic flight or if the mood is right we can give you simulated freefalls and even a water touch/Dip. You make all the decisions. :) Bring it on. You will find us located at the Main Town Pier - Queenstown. :)We look forward to entertaining you :) « less

The GF and I went tandem last week with this company. We had a discount voucher. Although postponed due to terrible weather (thunderstorms and heavy rain) we returned later to Queenstown and did the parasailing. It was one of the best activities we did in Queenstown. The ride up into the air is scary and gives you the adrenalin rush... More

A few days ago my daughter was given the opportunity to experience Paragliding in Queenstown. I cannot thank the crew enough for their help. Right from our first inquiry Paraflights were helpful and on the day went above and beyond the call of duty. Our daughter Sally would like to thank the crew from the bottom of her heart for... More

Had an amazing flight over the summer with Queenstown Paraflights. AMAZING views, was able to take my little girl in a tandem flight. Good value for money and friendly staff. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Queenstown.

We were very lucky to have excellent weather for our trip and the views from up there are amazing. Great staff, lots of fun, even took photos of us on our camera. We still bought the CD as it was from a different perspective and had some great photos on it, ours as well as the two other couples that... More

If there is one way to experience Queenstown then you must soar above the lake like a kite on paraflights smily face. This activity was unbelievable for me and my family and easily the best value for money we spent in Queenstown. Not only were the views exceptional the boys were an absolute laugh making the complete experience. Dont leave... More

Wow - what an amazing way to see Queenstown and surrounds - sailing through the air taking in the stunning views of the lake and nearby mountain ranges. The Paraflights staff were very friendly and professional and were happy to share information about the area - also got some amazing photographs. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a...

This was my second time around doing paraflights. Dragged my wife along this time. This has got to be one of the only thrills in Queenstown that doesn't break your bank. I told the fellas to give My wife a bit of a scare, we must of been within inches of dragging our bum in the water! great fun.....cheers guys.

A friend and I walked up to Paraflights on a whim, not really sure if we would be interested. We talked to Rock and he was super cool and told us it would be a great day for it and he wasn't lying. It was a really exciting experience without being too scary, we got some amazing views of Queenstown... More
