About
Paragliding Tandem Flights and Paragliding Licence Courses is what Melbourne Paragliding is all about. Fly over the beautiful Great Ocean Rd. or Mornington Peninsula Coastline or explore the heights of hilly and picturesque Melbourne hinterland landscapes. 22 years of experience and over 6000 hrs of airtime with a 100% safety record. It doesn't get any better than that if you want to have fun up in the sky while being relaxed and at ease. But safety is not enough. You want to fly with a friendly instructor who will address your concerns and make you feel at ease even if you are nervous about your first flying experience. Having a bit of respect from flying is perfectly natural and you will likely forget about it as soon as we take off. The beauty of flying will take over your sensations and you will experience an adventure of a lifetime. The sky is waiting. Who said people were not meant to fly? :)

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.

I've taken 3 paragliding flights now - this is the best. The others just wanted to get off the ground and back down ASAP. Airie took some time to catch some thermals, have a chat about flying and the controls, cruise around. I saw an eagle! well, some kind of raptor anyway. A cut above the others, 10/10 would fly again. Family had a picnic in th LZ while I flew.

This was a bucket list experience for me, made possible by a birthday gift voucher! I’m not sure I would’ve had the courage to do it off my own initiative. But I needn’t’ve hesitated, Airie’s easy confident manner, vast paragliding experience locally and internationally and simple explanations in answer to my questions, coupled with the 100% safety record was assurance that I could just relax, sit back and enjoy the whole flight. Which is what I did. Thoroughly enjoyable and exhilarating, and after meeting and talking to some other members in the group (all very friendly and welcoming), I might even take it up myself now.

Leigh went above and beyond to ensure I had the best experience ever! He was super flexible according to my preferences. I met Leigh at Torquay directly and we drove to the take off zone together. It was very easy to coordinate with the Melbourne Paragliding team. They were very responsive and made the process very easy from start to finish. I had a lovely time and enjoyed the experience thoroughly. I got to try my hand at controlling the glider myself, which was very exciting. Leigh also did some stunts and it was the most amazing experience I have had! I would recommend Melbourne Paragliding! Great customer service and very professional!

I completed the PG2 Paragliding Course which was conducted by Airie and enjoyed every aspect of it. The course can be quite physically demanding at times but the reward exceeded my expectations. Airie is extremely knowledgeable in the art of paragliding and he is keen to get everyone in the air as soon as possible with an emphasis on safety and fun. He presents the course in a professional and friendly manner and I felt safe at all times. Well done Airie and if anyone wants to learn this awesome sport, I’d recommend Melbourne Paragliding as the place to achieve your dreams.

Went on a tandem flight at Bells beach with Leigh! It was surreal. I learnt to fly, we got some good speed up, it was such an overall amazing experience. Leigh was so good at making it feel special and super flexible when I needed to change dates. ☺️🪂

Absolutely brilliant fun. Airie was punctual and super friendly. Calm and explained everything really clearly and well, whilst taking time to answer any questions I had. We flew from Flinders on the Mornington Peninsula. The weather was beautiful and I felt safe the whole flight. I really enjoyed the experience of soaring along the cliff edge, the view over mushroom reef was amazing. I loved it!

I've just completed the full PG2 license course. It was nine days of intense but incredibly enjoyable experience, something I'll always remember. The instructors were absolutely fantastic: highly professional and attentive. In the end, I logged one hour and forty minutes in the air, mostly high flights including a few solo ones. I got exactly what I expected, and perhaps even more. No regrets whatsoever; it was definitely worth the investment. If I were to take this course again, I'd spend more time watching videos or reading up before joining. Specifically, on two things:
1. Glider packing and unpacking (yes, it can be tedious).
2. Ground handling and preparation for launch.
Although these aspects were well-covered during the course, being more prepared would've saved me a lot of time on the slopes, allowing for more flying time and quicker progress on the airborne skills.

Very safety conscious. We felt like we were in good hands the whole time. Leigh was professional and friendly. The flight was amazing, the views were glorious. Take off and landings felt simple. I felt comfortable - but exhilarated the whole time. If you've always felt that yearning to fly book in tomorrow!

Airie is a pleasant character with great knowledge as a pilot. Good communication so I knew what we were looking for in the weather and what I needed to do. Much appreciated the assistance of other pilots at launch. The views were breathtaking and it's a great way to view the world

Had a flight with Olly from Flinders Golf Course. It was amazing to experience for the first time. Olly was great with his communication leading up to the day and made the flight lots of fun. Thoroughly recommend!

Hello, I wanted to ask if it is possible that the coach/ trainer could be a girl ( because of religious reasons)?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for understanding. Have a nice day.
