Phenomenal experience from a last minute decision to book! Recommend to anyone! - Not something i’d planned on doing, but I’d seen people paragliding the previous day and thought it looked amazing. While in Queenstown I thought if I don’t do it, I’ll regret it! I’m not interested in bungee jumps or canyon swings, but this was way better than I imagined! Friendly staff who put my mind at easy about willingly running off the side of a mountain!😂 And that for me, was the worst part, but once you get going there’s no backing out. A few steps and you’re airborne! Highly recommend to anyone!!

Experience of a Lifetime - Our pilots were amazing and we felt safe the whole trip. They gave the experience of a lifetime. We are in our late 60's and loved every minute.

Afternoon Paragliding over Queenstown - Had the best time with G Force Paragliding! The flight takes off from an area just above the Skyline Luge and is easily accessible by gondola followed by chair lift. Once fitted out with harness and attached to the pilot, we walked a few steps then ran a few more before becoming airborne. It truely is the best way to get a bird's eye view of Queenstown and enjoy the thrill of flying through the air. It is quiet and serene. I also got to enjoy some action with some aerobatic manoeuvres. It was amazing!

An unforgettable experience. - This is an unforgettable experience. They take safety very seriously and my pilot Thomas explained the whole process very well. The views are unbelievable. I will never forget this flight. If you like an adrenaline filled activity -this is for you. Well worth the money!

If you're thinking about it, you should do it! - This was an unforgettable experience for my husband and I. Our pilots were very friendly, assuring and experienced. I got nervous around takeoff and mine talked me through everything that was happening, and gave me the option to have a chill breezy flight or add some twists and turns. We always felt safe and the view was stunning. The only thing I'd suggest for GForce to change is including photos in the price, or lowering the price of the photos significantly. $80 is quite a lot of an extra to add on when you're already paying for a luxury experience.

Fantastic experience! - Our 15yo daughter was the only one of us brave enough to give this a go yesterday. She had the most amazing experience and hasn't stopped smiling or talking about it ever since. Thank you George for being so awesome, and for letting her take control for a short time. She wants to do it again! It was worth every cent to see the pure joy and excitement on her face, and it will be a memory she will keep forever.

Paragliding Queenstown - I loved it. It was great that I could just book a flight half an hour before I started... So I knew the weather is great. My pilot was awesome. The view incredible. Nice photos in the end. One negative point: The flight was too short. I don't know how they calculate the time. But I absolutely recommend it and I would do it again.

Great but too short - We launched from Coronet Peak due to better wind conditions, great experience and a real buzz, but very very short. We were in the air for less than 10 minutes, which I think is a little average for the price vs other activities we did.

terrible customer service - weather did not allow us to fly in our originally booked time slot in the morning which was not unexpected and were told to meet at another time to fly from a different place (meet at 12 pm at the base of the Gondola) via email. We replied the email to confirm we are okay about it and will be there. arrived around 11:35 am, and waited for more than half an hour at the base, no one was there or replying to us. We then took the gondola up to reach their office and were told that it was not confirmed and the bus to the new departure site had departed already... Their excuse was not being able to check through the emails and that if they didn't reply to our reply in the email the whole thing is not confirmed...?????. Please if unable to handle emails do not tell the customer to reach you via email. Cancelled schedules for the paragliding experience but turns out to be a disappointment.
