Let's get two things out of the way. The temperature was great. The winds were perfect for us. Every other good thing was the result of the work of our instructors, Jackson and Paul. They introduced themselves, learned our names, and remembered them. As we walked from the KHK office to the dunes for the gliding, they engaged us in... More

Although I'm afraid of heights, I've always found hang gliding fascinating. You know, the ability to soar like a bird. As a result I signed up for both a hang gliding lesson and tandem hang gliding adventure with Kitty Hawk Kites when I was in the Outer Banks. I took the lesson first and was really scared that I would... More

Our flight instructors, Mike and Andy, are exceptional and patient instructors in the art of hang gliding and we greatly enjoyed the experience. We plan to return for additional lessons as well as to have our grandchildren learn how to hang glide.

My husband & I took the children and grandchildren to the OBX for a week in August. One of the highlights of our trip was having several family members take hang-gliding lessons on Jockey's Ridge. The instructors were wonderful and made it fun for everyone (even those who chose not to attempt this activity!). The only downside is controlled by... More

I signed my children (9 year old and 15 year old) up for their first hang gliding lesson. While we had asked about the wind conditions while signing up the previous day, nature is fickle. There was little to no wind on the day of the lesson. Nonetheless, my 9 year old son had a blast. Being smaller and lighter,... More

While on spring break in the OBX, I took my daughter, who's 8, to attend the hang gliding school offered by Kitty Hawk Kites. As advertised, they took time to instruct students in advance on the fundamentals then they had two instructors with my daughter at all times during flight. She was completely safe and had an outstanding time! Also,... More

I took the 2000 foot tandem hang gliding lesson in Jarvisburg, NC as a check off on my bucket list. WOW!!! I admit I was a little nervous at first,however, my instructor, Roger, calmed me down immediately. It was so peaceful and amazing. It all seems like a blur now, unfortunately, it was over too quickly.

We took 3 hang gliding lessons at Kitty Hawk Kites-- two from the dunes and one tandem flight from 2000 ft. Each lesson was very professional and lots of fun. You get to fly from the first step in the dunes lesson, and control the glider yourself. Even if you crash, you walk away smiling, as the sand is soft,... More
