The Volcano

Activity Overview

This flight will take you all the way to the Volcano of Mt Warning, one of the largest extinct volcanoes in the southern hemisphere. After take off, you will fly north along the beach until reaching Brunswick Heads then head inland and continue over Mt Chincogan and the Main Arm Valley, climbing to over 5,000 feet. The views to Mount Warning and the Great Dividing Range in the west of Byron Shire, all the way up to the gold coast, are spectacular from this height , make sure you have your camera with you! Maybe now is a good time to take the controls for yourself. By all means don’t be shy. Our experienced pilot will be right there with you making sure you understand every facet of the controls you now have in your hands. Once over the caldera, you can continue all the way to Mt Warning and fly over its impressive peak and cliffs or head towards Byron Bay and the lighthouse finishing with a low level flight along the beach back to the airfield. We will be using thermals and ridgelift along the way to give you a real soaring experience. On these flights very often we encounter large wedgetail eagles soaring the thermals with us, sometimes just feet away from our wings. We promise you won’t be disappointed. This is a stunning flight we recommend for anyone wanting to really get into the experience of gliding. Share the adventure: Dual Flights availlable! 2 gliders flying in the same time, as much as possible in formation: amazing pictures!
