Paragliding is a relatively simple sport to learn and easy to get into. The Licence Course goes over 9 days, within which you can attain a SAFA PG2 Licence. The licence allows you to fly solo at any novice rated site anywhere in Australia and Internationally. Alternatively you can simply book a Tandem Flight to see whether flying like an eagle might be something for you.
Safety is our priority but we also remember that people paraglide to feel free, to have fun, and to feel alive. The two aspects go hand in hand... you will only be able to have fun when you feel safe. 9 DAYS LICENCE COURSE Dates: 2019 November 2nd - 9th - finished December 7th - 15th - finished 2020 January 11th - 19th - finished February 22nd - Mar 1st - finished March 28th - Apr 5th - finished ----- Winter break ----- October 31st - Nov 8th November 28th - Dec 6th PRIVATE LICENCE COURSE Dates: Outside scheduled 9 days licence course dates.
