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: 2020 January 11th - 19th - finished February 22nd - Mar 1st - finished March 28th - Apr 5th - finished ----- Winter break ----- September 19th - 27st - Rescheduled to November 14th - BOOKED OUT (please email to get on the waiting list) October 31st - Nov 8th - finished November 14th - 21st - finished November 28th - Dec 6th - finished 2021 January 2nd - 10th - finished February 6th - 14th - Booked out (please email to get on the waiting list) March 13th - 21st - Booked out (please email to get on the waiting list) April 2nd - 11th TBC (please email for expression of interest) April 17th - 25th - Booked out (please email to get on the waiting list) May 15th - 23rd TBC (please email for expression of interest) June 12th - 20th TBC (please email for expression of interest) PRIVATE LICENCE COURSE Dates: Outside scheduled 9 days licence course dates.
