Thank you for your review Jess , Unfortunately it can be very busy at this time of year in school holidays, so the queue to return back up the Gondola can take a while. Our Landing field at the school is only a short walk away from the base of the Gondola . The Gondola is also clearly visible from the landing field . We are sorry to hear you were confused of where to go but it is always good to have your feedback . We wish You ll the best to you from the GForce Team .

Was average

It was an okay experience, was nice to have a birds eye view of the city while gliding above it. But can’t say all the view was amazing… most of the view was of the city under construction and was asked can we go over or close to the lake was told not allowed BUT THE OTHER GLIDERS WITH US AND LATER THROUGH THE DAY WRW FLYING ABOVE THE LAKE.. I wonder why their safety was not considered….. won’t recommend to others …

From G Force Tandem Paragliding

Thank you for your review Sonia , it is always interesting to hear about different experiences. I would firstly like to guarantee to you that we never fly over the lake Sonia , so please know you did not miss out on this experience at all. It is entirely a misconception of space that it may appear to some that we do . Due to our contracts in place and not being allowed to fly over the lake , we would be breaching civil aviation airspace regulations if we did. The scenery from the Gondola is quite spectacular and quite unique to New Zealand, we are sorry to hear you did not enjoy this . We can assure you safety is our priority . All the best to you Sonia from the G force Paragliding team .
