If it's to try it once, then a Tandem Discovery Flight is the way to go. It takes about 30 minutes all together. If you were trying a flight to see if you might want to learn how; a better alternative is a 'Low and Slow' session. The price is the same as a tandem [...]
A hang glider is a large bird-like kite that is designed to carry passengers. It has a ridgid structure and is controlled by weight shift. Hang gliding is not to be confused with a paragliding or skydiving which use toggle-steerable parachute style canopies or parasailing which is generally done behind boats over water. If you're still not sure [...]
No; nothing, including sitting in a couch, is completely safe. Our tandem pilots and instructors hold the highest ratings available in Canada and the United States. Not only are we masters in our field, we literally wrote the book on Safety and Risk Management. Hang gliding has inherent risks like any other sport. Although we [...]
There no age limits. Minors must have their parent or guardian sign the liability waiver. We have flown people ranging in age from under 6 to over 90. The weight range for tandem flights is 60 to 240 lbs; for solo instruction it’s 90 to 350 lbs. We've had successful students on both ends of [...]
Yes, Ontario is flat here near Toronto. We use a custom-built hydraulic winch and a long tow line to pull us into the air. It is a super-smooth, reliable system which allows us to launch out of a flat field and thus eliminates the need to run off an intimidating precipice. The tow system we use allows tandems and experienced pilots to [...]
Absolutely; they are common, well-received gifts. Our most common gift certificate we call the 'ultimate gift package' is for a tandem discovery flight with wing-mounted photos. If the recipient prefers their certificate may be used for a 'low and slow' solo session in stead of a tandem. Many say it's the best gift they have ever received. We have many options available to make it an [...]
No, it doesn't matter. Two of the instructors at High Perspective are terrified of heights and one can't even look over a balcony. They are both perfectly at ease when flying in a hang glider. A fear of heights is really a fear of falling. When hang gliding your body immediately realizes you can't fall. You [...]
Our tandem gliders are fitted with wheels for launching and landing on land and pontoons for water landings. This elminates the need to run. Solo gliders also have wheels but usually people take off and land on foot. They are 'safety' wheels which turn a bad landing into no big deal. You will be surprised at [...]
You don't ... a fear of death is common in our society, even tho' we know life is fatal. Statistacally you are taking more of a chance driving out here than flying with us. In the world of adventure sports, hang gliding is actually quite tame. Hang Gliding got a bad reputation in it's infancy when you [...]
