Tandem flying is one of the best ways to discover hang gliding. A certified instructor does most of the work - though they'll guide you through taking over the controls for a bit if you'd like. You just get to relax and enjoy the view!

There are few physical demands for hang gliding, making it a great sport for people of all ages and abilities to try. The glider itself supports the weight and the pilot shifts their body to steer. Tough wind conditions can test upper body strength a bit, but for the most part, it's not physically demanding.

And the payoffs are spectacular. Getting to feel like you are flying with little structure around you is something you won't find elsewhere. It's not a fall, but a controlled flight as you soar.
