5Hang gliding!
We went in October and the conditions were perfect. Not too hot and a bit of wind. We really enjoyed the adventure and the instructors were great - made sure we were having fun while keeping us safe. Highly recommend!
5Unbelievable experience
This was such an incredible and special experience. The boys working there were just so amazing, patient, funny, encouraging, and showed such a passion for what they do. My daughter was terrified to do this, and they made her feel so relaxed and comfortable. I would recommend this to absolutely everyone!!!
5OBX hand glide
On a family vacation saw hand gliding as an activity had to do it! Larsen and Karem were awesome patient funny and made my experience a success loved picking up the air looking forward to doing it again!
5I Flew in the OBX
Great experience if you want to hang glide. The instructors were great. I was not scared. Everyone involved was friendly and helpful.
5Amazing introduction to the sport of hang gliding!
Its a very exhilarating experience. Fun for everyone. The staff are very patient and helpful. Be prepared to walk up the dunes each time. It will feel very hard but worth the effort. Be ready for sand everywhere on you.
5Must do!
Was a great experience and definitely a must do while in Kitty Hawk! The guides worked very well together, communicated very well and seemed to genuinely care about us having the best experience possible and our safety. Listen to all the advice- sunscreen, water are a must. Also, you need to be able to walk in sand a decent distance, and uphill after each flight. Wind conditions weren't the best on our day, but they offered several different options such as rescheduling or reducing to 3 vs 5 flights (with a partial refund which came surprisingly very quick!). Overall great company would definitely do this experience.
