During this premium gliding flight you’ll spend 45 minutes soaring above the beautiful Camden Valley and surrounds. From the silence of the glider you’ll look down upon the Blue Mountains, Warragamba Dam and other picturesque regions close to Sydney. Gliding is a fun way to see the world from above.

Your gliding experience begins with a short safety and operational briefing from your pilot. This will cover the operation of the glider and the phases of your flight. Your pilot will also answer any questions that you might have.

For the duration of the flight you will be sitting in the front seat of the glider, next to the pilot. Our gliders are state-of-the-art self-launching gliders, meaning that they do not depend on another aircraft to get airborne.

The sights from the glider are spectacular and breathtaking. The stunning Camden Valley spreads out below you and you will see the sparkling coastline and the bustling city in the distance. Your premium gliding flight will take you soaring over the rugged cliffs and stunning valleys of the Blue Mountains. You’ll fly over Sydney’s water catchment – the Warragamba Dam – and see the beautiful Burragorang Valley spread out beneath you. You’ll also get to look down upon the Wollondilly River as it snakes its way through Australia’s unique bushland and fly over the Southern Highlands. This gliding flight is the perfect opportunity to take some wonderful photographs!

When your instructor switches off the engine you will be gliding in perfect silence. This is when your instructor will let you have a go at flying the glider. You will be able to take the controls and steer the glider as it soars silently through the air. If you don’t want to do this, you are welcome to just sit back and enjoy the view.
