Southern Soaring. Scenic Flifgts

Gliding / Soaring - Southern Soaring. Scenic Flifgts

If you have never been gliding before, the Southern Soaring Team will be able to provide you with the ultimate introductory flight! Scenic flying is our speciality - we pride ourselves in giving you New Zealand's premier gliding experience!
When you arrive in Omarama (click on the 'Omarama' button at left if you're not sure where we are), all you have to do is follow the brown tourist signs advertising "glider flights" and then the blue "Southern Soaring" signs that lead to our front door.

"An absolutely amazing experience!" Jill Beck, Ireland.

You will be greeted by our friendly and experienced staff, and then introduced to one of our professional pilots - carefully chosen to provide you with an enjoyable and safe experience. Before your flight in one of our dual-seat high-performance gliders, you will be given a full safety briefing and shown how the aircraft is controlled in flight.

After being towed aloft by our towplane, the glider will be released at around 2000 feet above the airfield and your pilot will begin to search for updrafts. This may involve finding hot columns of rising air (thermals) or soaring along above the nearby mountain ridges. What fun! And the views are stunning! On a good day, you should see Mt Cook!
