What To Expect:
Get ready to experience the Sonoran Desert from a whole new perspective! On this day trip, you'll take a tandem hang gliding flight with a certified instructor from Sonora Wings. No previous experience is required-your instructor will guide you through everything you need to know before takeoff. After a brief orientation, you'll be securely harnessed into the glider and towed into the air by a specialized aircraft before releasing and soaring above the desert landscape.
This trip is perfect for adventurous beginners looking to try something new. While there may be some pre-flight nerves, most participants find the experience surprisingly smooth and relaxing once in the air. Be prepared for warm desert conditions, bring water, wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes, and don't forget your camera for incredible views and unforgettable memories.
Lunch is not provided, so participants should plan to bring their own. Trip price includes transportation to and from and the hang gliding expirence.
