First let me say, this 65+ year old gal and hubby thoroughly enjoyed this adventure. We did not have any preconceived notions on what it would be like and it far exceeded our expectations. Our instructors, Michael and Oliver, were superior in knowledge and training experience with warm, friendly personalities. Some comic relief mixed with serious safety precautions. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to not only visit the sand dunes at Jockey Ridge, but live out the dream of the Wright Bros on their first attempt at flight. Exhilarating and fun!

Super fun experience learning to hang glide. I didn't think I'd be successful, but I did it! The instruction at the beginning was at the perfect level for beginners, building confidence from the start. We each got 5 flights and the instructors were by our side on the ground the entire time, coaching and doing the heavy lifting of getting gliders back up the dunes. My elementary school and middle school kids enjoyed it and made it look easy. Views from the dunes were beautiful. Experiencing Jockey Ridge State Park and the dunes in this way was thrilling.

2 families, 5 kids ages 10 to 14, adults 40 to 52. We ALL had a blast. Nic was flawless. We all learned so much & were striving to improve, but having a BLAST at the same time. My sides still hurt. Not from crashing, but from laughing in between flights. Very easy physically. The hardest part was walking through the sand dunes to get there (1/4 to 1/2 mile) & back. You don’t have to be an athlete to do this. I‘m still trying to work my way back from major surgery without access to a gym(COVID-19). I always felt safe and heights make me uncomfortable. when I did a nose-dive into the sand, it was no big deal. (Totally my fault I pulled in instead of pushing out). Nic was great motivating and encouraging each of us. He also did a great job of adjusting to each of us. The instructors are close enough to protect you from making a flight error. They kind of fly you like a kite. For each of the four in my family, this was the 2nd best highlight of a great trip (Only behind spending time laughing with close friends and family).
