Experience a 45 minute flight in a glider, high above the picturesque landscape of the Caboolture region! View stunning scenery at heights of 4500ft and experience the beauty of silent flight as you take in the spectacular views!

Come gliding and enjoy the spectacular 45 minute flight around the Caboolture region!

On the day of your gliding experience, you’ll be met by your experienced glider pilot and you’ll be introduced to the glider. Climb aboard one of our latest model Super Dimona motor gliders. These gliders are the most reliable and comfortable motor gliders available and feature excellent visibility through a one piece canopy with no door or windscreen pillars to block your view.

As you depart Caboolture Airfield, you’ll experience spectacular scenery as you climb to 4500ft and experience views out to the Glasshouse Mountains, the Blackall Range and Bribie Island.

During the flight you’ll be sitting next to your pilot in the front seat of the glider and will have plenty of opportunities to take photographs and talk on the flight radio. You can even have a go at the controls under the watchful instruction of your experience glider pilot and fly the glider yourself. You’ll discover just how easy it is to fly! Your pilot is a qualified motor glider instructor and will be more than happy to explain how this state of the art glider flies and the techniques used by glider pilots to fly long distances using just the natural thermal energy in the atmosphere.

    A thrilling and yet relaxing experience, Al is great at explaining what happens and how things works, he also remained calm whilst I had the controls ... brave too.

    The Pilot Kim was such a nice guy and full of information during the flight. He made the experience so much more fun because of his friendly and welcoming nature. It was a great day and I enjoyed it very much.

    Everything went well. The weather was not good on previous appointments but the supplier was only too happy to change the date so that the flight was at its best. I had a great time.
