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.

For this as a gift from my family so not certain of the cost but I feel like it was worth every penny!
Nathan was excellent with communication and giving us a fantastic time on the day. We had an incredible, exhilarating flight and got some crazy cool views of Newcastle. I'd definitely recommend it if you're on the fence.

Thanks Cass,
From jumping whales and big schools of fish with beautiful smooth air to fly in. It was an awesome afternoon. Good luck with the rest of your micro-adventures.

I decided to take my friend paragliding (tandem) for her birthday and I am so glad I found Nathan from Newcastle Paragliding!
Nathan is very friendly and responsive. He replied my email inquiry within hours and explained that we are at the mercy of the weather, so we will have to wait till the day and decide where/when and whether we can do this. On the day, he contacted me via sms and kept me updated on the weather conditions.
The actual paragliding experience was amazing. Nathan is very experienced and made us feel safe and relaxed. We were up in the air for around 20 minutes each and it was just so peaceful and beautiful up there!
I know that Nathan also teaches paragliding, hang gliding and kiteboarding in Newcastle as well as Bali and I believe he will be an excellent and reliable instructor.
My friend and I both thoroughly enjoyed our tandem paragliding experience with Nathan and would recommend our friends to contact him and try floating on cloud 9 too!

Nath taught me to kite (and nail my first backrolls) and has taken me on a couple of tandem paragliding flights (one was at Rex Lookout, Cairns). He has a good selection of gear and teaches with helmets with radios in them so you can hear what you need to change about your riding while you're doing it.
Nath is passionate and is extremely knowledgeable about all things wind; he's an awesome teacher; and he's helped me select gear that matched my riding ability / needs - which saved me money; and he's a damn good kiter, too!
Nath has always made time outside of lessons to answer countless questions I have had when encountering new tricks, and has helped me figure more advanced things I didn't understand at the time (like why people like Hadlow / Len10 megaloop and then loop their kites a second time - i.e., to catch themselves and soften their landings...).
I highly recommend learning to kitesurf this summer with Nath at Newcastle Paragliding !

I met Nathan from Newcastle Paragliding on a recent paragliding trip to Bali. I highly recommend that you experience a tandem in Nathan's capable hands or take it further and have lessons or a refresher course. He has a wonderful teaching style which is professional and friendly; his calm and unruffled approach allows you to gain knowledge and confidence whilst all the time maintaining your safety. Nathan is highly skilled and experienced. I'll be back. Kristen

What a great way to reward or motivate friends, family or business contacts and/or employees - a soaring tandem flight high above Newcastle and/or surrounding environs. Felt completely safe and in good hands with Nathan and his crew.
Highly recommended!

My experience with Newcastle paragliding has been amazing! I had a tandem flight at Strzelecki in at Newcastle, we flew high above the cliffs for 20min and I loved every second of it. It truly is something like you have never experienced, the takeoff and landing is gentle and the scenery is incredible.
The tandem flight encouraged me to later take up the sport which I learnt through Newcastle paragliding, they're instructors are professional and friendly and I am now confidently paragliding solo.
I would recommend a tandem flight, or paragliding course with Newcastle paragliding to anyone up for an adventure!
