Ever wanted to fly like a bird? You can in a glider! Gliding is a fun way to see the world from a different angle. Soaring 3500ft above the picturesque Camden Valley, get spectacular views of Sydney and the distant Blue Mountains. You'll feel and absorb every second of this brilliant experience!
Your flight begins with a short safety and operational briefing with your pilot, covering the glider, phases of the flight and answering any questions you might have.
Then it’s time to take off and climb to 3500ft above the Camden Valley in a state of the art self launching glider. Your pilot will then switch off the engine and you will be soaring like a bird. After seeing the sights of the surrounding area you will glide back to the airport to prepare for your landing. The flight duration for this experience is approximately 25 minutes.
This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.

Nice and laid back but still very professional.

An excellent present for my son's 16th birthday. The people at the glider club were very friendly and helpful and should be recommended.
-
This was my Grandson Ashton's introduction to enjoying the skies, like his Nan and Pop.. He absolutely loved it. The guys down at Camden, were very helpful and friendly, making him feel very at ease, thanks guys... Great for anyone and everyone who wants to get up in the sky , but do not want to start off with anything toooo hairy scary!
-
The Gliding flight was AMAZING !!!!! Very peaceful, yet exhilarating at the same time. The guys down at Sydney Gliding are soooo very friendly and helpful, girls if you want to try the skies but do not want anything too hairy this is the one to try. You soar just like a bird through the peaceful sky!!! Again thanks to all
-
Excellent!! My pilot was very informative and pointed out lots of the surrounding landscape. He also told me all I wanted to know about gliders and flying. The company was also very flexible and amenable to my availability. Would highly recommend.
-
Staff were very friendly and helpful. We would have no hesitation in recommending the flight to any of our friends. I have used RedBalloon previously and was not disappointed in my experience.
-
It was amazing. Never experienced a feeling like that before. Weather was perfect for it and loved the moment when the propellers shut off as we quietly glided through the air. The crew were very talkative and friendly and explained all the different functions and I felt very relaxed around them. Thanks again.

A really great experience, and very enjoyable. The staff were friendly and made the time very pleasant.

This experience was INCREDIBLE. The company was extremely friendly and professional, and a pleasure to deal with, while the glider flight was fun, exciting and very memorable. I enjoyed the experience so much, I'm now looking into taking glider pilot lessons! To anyone thinking of doing this, or giving this as a gift, I cannot recommend it highly enough!
-
The experience was all that I could have wished for. The people involved were helpful and guided me through each step with care. The offer to "fly" the aircraft as opposed to going sightseeing was well thought out and gratefully received. A complete buzz.
-
A highly professional team who delivered exactly what was advertised. Friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. The aircraft was of the highest possible standard and this is a safe and exciting experience. As a gift, I reckon it was a beauty, and I'd have never thought to do it if it hadn't been given to me as a birthday gift.
-
An exhilarating experience that will never be forgotten and creates the motivation to go again
-
It was a fantastic experience and the two guys that run it were both friendly and informative
-
Absolutely enjoyable. The aircraft was clean and presentable, the flying instructor instilled a feeling of confidence whilst in the air. The scenery up there was unbelieveably clear from Camden you could see The Heads in Sydney. Cant wait to do it again.
-
Pilot was exceptionally communicative and the pre-flight briefing was excellent.
-
Always lots of great ideas especially for people who are hard to buy for!
-
