    Great instructors with small groups. We were there during Hurricane Debby, so our lesson was cut a little short. Who cares! We had a BLAST! I have so much more respect for the Wright Brothers caring that plane up the hill!

    Our adventure at Jockey’s Ridge and Hang Gliding was incredible! Everything was flawless from when we checked in to when we checked out. The instructors went above and beyond to guarantee our safety and ensured that all five of my teenagers had the time of their lives. Fantastic experience!

    We made a last-minute decision to try hang gliding for the first time and this experience did not disappoint! Jude and Harry were very patient with both of us and really did a great job of training us prior to trying this for the first time. We were a bit nervous in the beginning because we’re in our late 50s, but this is definitely something you can do even if you’re not young and spry. I would highly recommend this if you’re in the Outer Banks.
