ハンググライダー体験　2人乗りタンデムで安心！ベテランインストラクターと飛行体験＜小学生から参加可／午前・午後／忍野村＞

道中も楽しい

Reviewed by: ヤッホーワンダホー, 2024/05/12

離陸場所まで登るのに、四駆とトロッコを乗り継いでいくのもアトラクション気分で楽しかったです！ハンググライダーは安定感があって全然怖くありませんでした！

【即予約確定枠有り】パラグライダー 空の旅を満喫[エンジェル・ジップ スカイスポーツ/常総市]

想像以上に高いところまで飛んでくれました。

Reviewed by: ここまる, 2021/10/04

はじめてのパラグライダーでしたが、丁寧に教えてくださり飛ぶことができました。みどりのの駅からタクシーで向かいましたが、駅前にタクシーは停まっていなかったので電車で行く方はタクシーの事前予約をお勧めします。
また注意事項にも記載がありましたが、自動販売機等はないため忘れずに飲み物を持っていくといいです。飛ぶ前の助走でクタクタになりました。
またお天気の良い日にお伺いしたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Early Morning Hot Air Balloon Flight Around Mt. Fuji

Best View of My Fuji

Reviewed by: Nathan Dodds, 2020/02/17

Lovely pilots, very friendly and professional! Really enjoyed the flight and the views were breathtaking

I highly recommend this experience!

My partner didn't feel comfortable doing the ride due to her fear of heights and seeing how small the basket in reality is, but she also managed to capture some great photos from ground level. So worked out well in the end.

I was also nervous about going up to 500 metres high in the air, but after reaching 150 metres, I started to not be scared and enjoyed the views.

Fun Powered Tandem Paraglider Flight in Joso Ibaraki

I want to do it again and bring my friends next time.

Reviewed by: ace, 2018/12/19

The flight "pilot" made a point to make us feel relax even if we are very nervous at the start of the flight.

The free pickup from the airport is also very helpful and convenient.

Dynamic Tandem Hangglider Flight with Instructor in Oshino

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Amy, 2017/12/18

This was my first time hang gliding and definitely won't be my last! I thought I would have a sense of fear before doing this, but didn't feel nervous at all - even when we were up in the air, it felt like we were floating in the sky. I was lucky to have beautiful views of the Autumn colours and trees and a gorgeous view of Mt Fuji. If you are catching public transport, you can catch a bus from Kawaguchiko station to Uchino bus stop - then call Oshino Sky Sports for someone to come pick you up. I was going to do this, but was lucky enough to have awesome hosts that were willing to drive me all the way there.

We had to wait at the take off point as the wind took a long time to change direction (about an hour or so) so you need to be patient. I think this is to be expected while doing any hang gliding course as the wind can be unpredictable. It would have been good to take a bottle of water with me during this time, as it did get quite warm.

When you're finished up, you will get your photos and video emailed to you - I was so happy with them, the quality is great and I could share my adventure with family and friends. Afterwards, one of the instructors was so nice he offered to drop me off at Chureito Pagoda for some sightseeing, as he was heading in that direction as well.

If you choose to do this course, it helps if you can speak a little Japanese. My instructor didn't speak English, but I was able to pick up a few words with his instructions. When you arrive in Japan, ask your host to give Oshino a call and get more details about the time you need to arrive etc. If Oshino have your email or contact number on file, they will try to contact you the day before hand if the weather isn't going to be good for the activity.

I would recommend to take Veltra's proof of payment with you - as Oshino couldn't find my payment from Veltra and I was asked to pay again. I then emailed Veltra and they handled the situation quickly and refunded me my money. :-)

Thank you very much for participating in the tandem hang glider experience flight. We apologize for causing inconvenience in the matter of payment. If there is something to come back to Japan someday please try experiencing a flight of a different season as well. Thank you.　Shigeyuki Machida
