What a wonderful experience! Our 14 year old granddaughter wanted to see what it was like to fly like a bird…that she did! This is a very rustic setting…after all, your biggest need is a field!
Epically idyllic location…go sit in a rocker on the field under a tarp-covered lean to and just listen to the bees and birds…sit back and unwind. Wonderful crew of laid back people who obviously enjoy not only the sport but the joy of introducing it to young people. If it’s in your budget, do consider purchasing the video/photo package. Great execution and production…a real keepsake of your flight.

This was an absolutely wonderful experience. I just can't say enough about it.
To address some of the complainers here about the add-ons. They do not PUSH the add ons, if you do not want the gopro cam footage and pics, don't get them, it's pretty much that easy. We did spend alot of extra money to have the footage and the pics and I am so glad we did!
It is a very professionally run operation- while also being laid back and everyone is just super friendly.
I would do this again- there is always a Groupon- so take advantage! If you do not want the additional things, don't get them- you are not hurting anyone's feelings. It is a family run operation- it's not like anyone's job depends on upselling. Just say no thank you and move on!
It was so great- can't wait to do it again!!

I can no longer skydive due to medical issues. This is a loophole to fly again!! We had a wonderful day! The weather was perfect, even flew with a bald eagle in the sky! Felt completely safe and free at the same time. Please pack a lunch and enjoy the grounds. It is a beautiful place, with a pool. We will be back!!!

2020.01.01 - Drove two hours to do this here. Four of us did flights and it was great. Lorin and Luke were great too. Highly recommend. They are not uptight, but very laid back and have great personalities.

All I can really say about the hang gliding experience is WOW. Family owned - really clean, you can actually stay on the property in cute cabins. My husband and I did tandem rides one at a time with a kind guy, I think his name was Luke. He had a dog named Ace that was so cute! He took us up to the 3500 feet and then we went through a cloud, saw rainbows, sailed through the sky, spied on the neighbor...lol it was an experience to remember. If you are considering hang gliding, definitely book with them!

I was thinking about doing the Mile High Club package. I was wondering how long you are in the air? If it's worth it or I should do the package below this one?

When going there, perhaps they had a slow day but they really took to me and my friend and upgraded our package for free and gave us the pictures for half price. I recommend spending as much time in the air as possible. I mean, your aren't paying a the extra for like 2 seconds more, it's for several minutes more...even doubling your time. But if you do ask for more spins and rollercoastery stuff then it does eat into your time in air. I would recommend waiting till you are there to upgrade, if you do or look at groupon. They had some one there for a while with good deals
