Queenstown Aerotow Hang Gliding
Description
Soaring high above the Cromwell region on an aerotow hang gliding adventure, you will witness stunning Central Otago magic with mountains and pristine turquoise lakes. See the abundance of vines in the region as you soar above this rugged landscape.
Aerotow
Skytrek uses the most cutting edge aerotowing methods to ensure the highest possible level of safety and comfort. Tandem hang gliders are operated by an experienced pilot and can accommodate one passenger besides. A specially designed tow plane called a “tug” tows the tandem hang glider into the air until it is borne aloft. Aero-towing is superior to hill launching in that it can take the hang glider as high as desired and can release it at any point.
