Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A group of six of us did a 5 day gliding course. It was fantastic. We each flew at least twice each day with highly experienced trainers and developed some good flying skills, although none of us managed to solo. These people are very friendly and just want you to enjoy flying as much as they do.

Great way to view the outskirts of Alice Springs. Registration was relatively quick to complete and there really isn't much to the aircraft itself so orientation didn't take long either. Had a few hiccups with the booking but it sorted itself out in the end. If you've got the time it is worth it.

A group of 6 of us just completed 5-day intensive gliding course. All of us agreed that this was an amazing experience and we highly recommend it in all aspects. The teachers were amazing, (Two of us per teacher), The gliders are great, the facilities are excellent. Doing the course in Alice Springs means you are almost guaranteed perfect gliding weather for learners every day. Robert and Jenny who run the course are great, easy to get along with and are very accommodating. They were happy to move dates on an ongoing base due to Covid issues and nothing was ever a problem. We are all in our 60's and all were able to confidently fly the gliders by the end of the course although not quite solo. If you are looking for an amazing experience, reasonably priced with wonderful instructors then this is the place to go.

We had an amazing afternoon of flying with NT Soaring! Robert and Jenny are very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable, they put you right at ease if you’re nervous. You get to learn the basics of glider flight and can even take over control once you’re in the air if you’d like! My husband and I each went on 20+ minute flights that took us high above the outback, seeing the MacDonnell ranges and the town of Alice Springs from over 5000ft! It was an incredible experience that I would definitely do again!

With a few friends, just completed a 5 day gliding course with Rob, Jenny and the team. It was unbelievable. Extremely competent, patient and instructors who are now friends, made it an unforgettable and special experience. Learnt heaps in fantastic gliding conditions with breath-taking views of the red centre to go with it. If this is something you want to do, then this is the place to do it.

Amazing experience! First time flying in a glider was something special. Instructor Jenny was very lovely and encouraging. And the view from so high above is beautiful (photos don't do it justice)! I highly recommend anyone coming to Alice Springs to try this out. I did an intro lesson where Jenny walked me through glider controls and etc. I also got to talk to few other instructors there - all very nice and kind people =)

Family of 3 spent a magnificent afternoon in the sky. The weather was perfect, and the instructors super friendly. This is a hidden gem, just a short drive outside of Alice Springs. Great fun for locals and visitors alike, a must do when visiting the Centre.

This is well worth the time and money. I had a very personable adventure with breathtaking views. I got to pilot the glider for a short time and my pilot was very friendly, knowledgeable, and motivating.
