Itinerary

Check-In to the Skytrek desk 30 minutes before your booked time. We'll then take you up to our launch area on Coronet Peak, a quick 20 minute drive in our courtesy transport and proceed to get the equipment ready while our ground crew gets you into a helmet and harness. Your pilot will then take you through a briefing to explain what you need to do and then it's time to launch into the sky and fly free like a bird. Landing takes place on the valley floor about 3.7 km away from the take-off point. We pack up the equipment and take you back to town.
