Paragliding Courses

Introductory Day

This is it, this is where it all begins, 3-2-1 and you’re air born! The 6-hour day will teach you the basics about the equipment and how to prepare it for flight, how to launch the glider, control it, and stop it. Then we will go to the Smiley face for training!

 

 

PG1 Course – Beginner

The PG1 course is all about Launching, Flying, and Landing your paraglider ! This will give you a “feel” for the sport. Youll complete your first real flights, and learn many other essential skills about Paragliding.

 

 

PG2 Course – Full Pilot

This course will teach you to become an independent pilot who is competent, relaxed and therefore safe, so you will enjoy all that paragliding has to offer for years to come.

Very accommodating and welcoming. I made a transition between paragliding schools which felt seamless. I went onto receive excellent tuition to get me to the point where I felt safe flying solo in the Queenstown area. An excellent all round experience. I can highly recommend Chris and his team of instructors!Thanks all!

I had an excellent time with the guys! Chris, Oli, Jack and Jason are legends who really know their stuff and put their heart and passion into the job. Clear instructions at every stage, calm and relaxed and a very enjoyable ride. Absolutely loved the quality of training and equipment provided. Due to the thorough training provided, I was able to fly with confidence in no time.I highly recommend them to everyone who is thinking about starting their paragliding journey and I'm very thankful for the experience I received with them.

Everything has been said below. Great team, the instructors are legends and very involved. They do care a lot and watch everything you do from takeoff to landing. And they see much more that you would think!! Also, the main site is high and allows you to learn maneuvers you could not be taught somewhere else.This school makes sure you have the right mindset, teaches you about weather (you better arrive in the morning with your weather check done) and much more. The goal here is to train you to become a pilot, and the instructors will ensure that you are ready before they sign you off.So yeah it's got a price and will take some time and efforts. But if you are looking into learning how to fly safely, acquiring solid bases to pilot a wing comfortably, and knowledge about physics and aerology, all that in one of the most scenic location in the country there is probably no better place to go.And I'm not forgetting to mention that it's also a very good place to meet lots of very easy and interesting people. You will find some new friends to go fly with here that's for sure!Thanks everyone for this awesome season which is just the start of the adventure 🍻🍻🍻

I could not recommend Infinity Paragliding ENOUGH as your go to for a school! The instruction was very genuine and you could tell by day one how much they cared about your progress as a student and a person in one. Chris, Jack, Jason & Oli put their heart and soul into the job. Chris is such an inspiration when it comes to the art of paragliding. They would rather see you learn and grow than just give you a certificate to fly...each student is catered to their progress and needs to improve. Paragliding is an intense skill to learn, and you don't want to just go to any place to get your license because where you learn sets the foundation for you as a pilot. Finishing up my PG2 license was a humbling journey, I learned a TON and I felt so much care by the instructors to be a competent pilot leaving the school. They also go into depth about weather checks so you don't take conditions lightly and choose flying days unwisely. They are super safe and mindful which goes a long way, they won't risk flying students in unfair conditions. I could go on and on about my positive experience at this school. Very fortunate to have chosen Infinity!

Did my paraglider pilot license (PG2) with Infinity Paragliding in 2023. It took around 9 weeks from intro day till completion of all necessary flights and theory classes and exams. School sets out high standards for their students in every aspect of flying, provides in depth knowledge of sport and motivates students to become the best pilots possible. Every instructor is experienced and keen to help. School is using brand new and one of the best in market equipment.Overall had a great experience, learnt heaps of new things and can only recommend Infinity Paragliding!

It's like reviewing a steak but instead of eating the steak you are a steak running off the side of a mountain and leaving the earth for the first time.Infinity, Chris and his team were absolutely incredible for what is a physically and emotionally challenging but rewarding journey of epic proportions.Their guidance throughout was everything, from the support and comfort during the early stages to the extremely informative and educational early flights before taking you deeper into a sport with real consequences but incredible rewards.Whether you dip your toes with an intro day, take a tandem flight or want to push yourself to be a pilot I'd highly recommend Infinity and Chris.

Infinity is an absolutely incredible place to learn to paraglide. As a lifelong student (of other stuff) I value teachers who are dedicated to keeping learners challenged and supported, and Chris values our experience and our safety 110%. Don't hesitate to come check out a tandem, or just jump straight from the Intro course into PG1 and PG2, you won't regret it and will be flying high in no time!

I started flying through Infinity early summer 21/22 and loved the extremely high standard of teaching at the school. All instructors, and especially Chris, are top-end, knowledgeable professionals that will make you a competent, safe and self-confident pilot.
