What an amazing experience from start to finish!! My pilot Pete was an absolute professional, he made me feel safe and secure and also made sure I had the best time. The views from the sky was unparalleled, an experience I will never forget. I have nothing but praises! 11/10 I highly recommend! Best day ever!

I really enjoyed my flight, which lasted about 10min. Guide was calm and gave good instructions. I don't like heights, but I liked this experience.

Highly recommend. Try to have some flexibility in your schedule as the time and location may change due to wind conditions. Getting in contact wasn’t the best, but had the best luck responding through the app.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed paragliding with us, despite the scheduling adjustments due to variable wind conditions. We understand the inconvenience this causes and endeavour to improve our communication where possible. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to flying with you again!

We had the best experience. The family was scared as this was our first time but the team was amicable and you got the great views of the town below. The launching was very smooth and we enjoyed the overall experience.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Nice to hear your family had a great experience paragliding with us over Queenstown! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

From the moment that I felt my feet leave the ground to touchdown was electrifying. Brendan had over 30 years flying in Queenstown and knew how to make the experience memorable. After some gentle turns we soared above Queenstown with magnificent panoramic views of the city and the lake. We finished the glide with a series of sharp turns in which I went from views of clouds to the city and surrounds. My wife saw how much I had enjoyed it and decided she wanted to do it.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!
What a great review to read Michael. Thank you for sending through a review, I am sure Brendon will be very happy to hear you enjoyed it so much!
Thank you and all the best to you from the Gforce Team .

Fantastic experience. The guides were very cool 😎 highly recommend . The views from the top were breath taking .
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Thanks for the review, nice to hear you loved the views and enjoyed paragliding with us above Queenstown!
Eric_L, Jan 2023
Was able to fly very high for a gorgeous scenery of Queenstown.
Had to purchase gondola separately at at additional cost. Recommend playing luge (with gondola ride) on the same day if you want to save some money.
Pilots (Dom and Cathal) were super nice and friendly.
Was able to buy GoPro video and photos taken during the flight at a reasonable price.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Thankyou for your review Eric , we are really happy to hear you enjoyed your experience with us .
All the best to you from the Gforce Team .

I’m sure if you actually got to go paragliding with this company you would give them a glowing recommendation. Unfortunately, the weather canceled us out on the first day from the skyline. We drove to the second launch site only to be canceled again. We rescheduled for two days later, and were told to call a number to confirm, we left three messages, two texts, called the phone number 15 times and never heard back. We were on a really tight schedule traveling with friends and wasted three hours of our morning trying to make this happen. We still have not heard back from the company and so have left Queenstown to visit other places. We understand the tours can be canceled but communication is key.
Larry_H, Dec 2022
Great flight! Thomas is a friendly and competent pilot. If you are prone to motion sickness I don’t recommend any high speed turns.
Shahid_B, Nov 2022
We booked it in advance but it was canceled due to weather, we are still wanting for the refund money
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Shahid , Please contact us directly so we can help you with this . We have looked into this for you and a refund was definately processed for you. All banking refunds usually go through directly within two to three Buisness Days.
We do have to close operations when it is unsafe to fly due to wind conditions and are sorry you were unable to fly with us that day.

They have a great team, special shout out to Gavin. He did a superb job at making me comfortable in the sky and providing views of Queenstown above the rest. Make sure to do this early in the trip for maximum wow factor.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
So happy to hear you enjoyed your flight with Gavin . Thankyou for your review.
All the best to you from the GForce Team .

Great experience for me &my 14years kid, it was a fine day with clear sky .
Ben & Mike your are the best !
Easy check in with viator reservation.
The gondola it's sepred item and you must take it to the head of the mountain, it's a little bit expensive (78$ adult +child)so if you can get for any discount it will be smart move.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the experience with your child . Thank you very much for your review - we appreciate it .
All the best to you from the Gforce Team .

Response from Host, May 2022

All the best to you from the GForce Team

Amazing experience with GForce paragliding during our Queenstown trip. Although the weather on the day we were originallly scheduled was poor, GForce staff did a great job keeping us up to date and didn't mind the many calls we made for status updates. My wife and I did to tandem paraglides on an absolutely beautiful day overlooking Queenstown and the lake. The ride around the top of the gondola was amazing with everyone waving and watching with wonder. My pilot asked if I wanted to do some aggressive moves and we went into some pretty intense spirals. My wife however tends to get a bit of motion sickness and instead asked her pilot to keep it nice and gentle. We loved the experience, really liked our to pilot guides, both were amazing and made us feel comfortable while tailoring the experience for each of us. I would highly recommend GForce for an experience you won't forget.
Response from Host, Jun 2020
Thank you very much for a Great Review Shawn. We are very happy to hear you both enjoyed your flights. It is quite an experience to fly over Queenstown and we are thrilled you both enjoyed sharing that with us !
We hope to see you back one day..... All the best , the GForce Team .
Kayla_M, Feb 2020
Fantastic experience! Pilots were friendly and made us feel comfortable and confident in their abilities to provide a safe and exciting adventure. We were kept informed throughout the entire process, including mid-air and had a choice of what type of flight we wanted. Was a very calm and relaxing, stress free and unexpectedly peaceful activity with amazing views of what Queenstown has to show.
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Kia Ora, thank you for your great review Kayla! We are happy to hear that you had a comfortable flight. Our pilots are fantastic at putting our customers at ease and ensuring the flight is safely tailored to the experience you are looking for! All the best, The GFORCE Team
Kristina, Feb 2020
Feels like a rip off, due to extra cost - rather disappointed. 360 NZD instead of 256 for 8min gliding. Extra pay of 44 to go up the mountain and 60 for go pro photos.
Paraglide pilot was very transactional like a robot, did not feel authentic.
Did a deeper research afterwards, I do think most experiences are like this in Hotspots like Queenstown
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Kia Ora Kristina, thank you for your feedback. GForce is owned and operated by many of the pilots so we will take on your feedback to ensure we consistently deliver that personalised experience flying over Queenstown. All promotional and sales material clearly states the Gondola cost is not included. All the best with the rest of your adventures! The GFORCE Team

快晴で見晴らしよく、クイーンズタウンの美しい風景を堪能出来た素晴らしい体験でした
本来はスカイゴンドラの上から飛ぶ予定でしたが、当日朝にメールがきてcoronet peakに変更となりました
Coronet peakまではバスで送迎してくれました
スカイゴンドラの上から飛ぶのとの違いは比較出来ませんがcoronet peakからの体験は美しく素晴らしかった
スタッフも皆とても親切でした
ただホテルでのピックアップと違い、”シャトルバス乗り場”だけでは旅行者には分かりづらく、バスが時間通りに来なかったので自分達が間違えているのかと探し回りました。
待ち合わせ場所の地図とバスの名前を記入していることを事前に連絡してくれたら
探しまわらずにすみました
またタンデムで撮ってくれた写真は貴重なので買いましたが80💲は少し高く感じました
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you so much for taking the time to review the activity, we are glad you enjoyed flying with us! Take care

Super ervaring, fijne ervaren begeleidster en zeer vlotte booking en uitvoering
Alleen de beoordeling schrijven verreist veel woorden terwijl er weinig woorden voor nodig zijn
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Bedankt! Thanks for your review, we are glad you had a great experience flying with us, have a lovely holiday!
