Rainbow Paragliding

Feel the coast fall away as you lift into smooth sea breezes on a tandem paraglide at Rainbow Beach. **Soar tandem at Rainbow Beach — seated, secure and guided by an expert, with the chance to take the controls if conditions allow.** Flights typically run 20–30 minutes, operating when the weather is right, with take-off sites used along the coast from Rainbow Beach south towards the Sunshine Coast. You’ll fly up front in your own harness while your pilot talks you through every moment — bring a camera for the memories. [1] What will I actually do on a tandem flight? You’ll launch with your pilot, then sit comfortably in your own harness while the pilot flies behind, chatting through the experience and coastal views. If conditions are suitable and you’re keen, you may even try the controls for a hands-on taste of free flight. [1] How long does a flight last? Most tandem flights last around 20–30 minutes, giving you time to settle in, enjoy the soaring, and capture photos or video. Extended flights may be possible when conditions are ideal — ask when you enquire. Operations remain weather dependent. [1] Where do flights run from? Coastal flying sites are used along the Sunshine Coast, with flying possible from Rainbow Beach down towards Point Cartwright when winds suit. Site choice on the day depends on conditions to keep your flight smooth and safe. [1] When do flights operate? Tandem flights are offered seven days a week, subject to weather. Your pilot will confirm the best time and location close to your booking window to match wind and sea-breeze patterns for safe soaring. [1] Is this suitable for first-timers? Yes — tandem paragliding is a great introduction to the sport. Your pilot handles launch and landing, explains how the glider flies during the journey, and can tailor the experience to your comfort level, from gentle cruising to a brief try at the controls. [1] What should I bring? Wear comfortable clothes suited to the day’s conditions and bring a camera or smartphone to capture your flight. Your pilot will advise anything else needed when you confirm your weather window and meeting point. [1] Good to know - Flights use coastal sites between Rainbow Beach and the Sunshine Coast; final launch point varies with the wind. [1] - Paragliding schools in the region also utilise inland locations from the Gympie area to the Glass House Mountains for training and flying when conditions suit.
