Highlights

  • Exhilarating tandem paraflight
  • Stunning views of Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables
  • No experience required!

A tandem flight with Queenstown Paraflights is an amazing experience for both young and old and an unforgettable memory of your stay in Queenstown.

Widely considered a 'must do', for many this is the highlight of their holiday in the Southern Lakes region.

Queenstown Paraflights operate winch direct para-sailing, this means you will be gently lifted into the air from the boat for your flight, and returned gently to the deck again once the experience is over - ensuring you stay safe and dry.

Fantastic Experience

This was pushing my 60 year old scaredy cat boundaries but I loved the experience. I actually felt safe through the whole experience and it was so beautiful and peaceful floating high in the air, looking around at the scenery with my husband beside me. It is one of the best things that I have ever done and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Tandem Parasail

Could not fault the day. The weather was fine but a bit chilly. The staff were approachable and explained everything to our satisfaction. Very enjoyable, thank you.

28 year anniversary experience

We recently visited Queenstown for our 28th anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed the tandem paraflight. So blessed to have little to no wind and the most amazing sunny weather too. Thank you to the Team for an Epic experience. Kind regards Nathan and Hayley Stellenberg
