Experience a Maui like no other!
Powered, Reliable, Quiet, & Fun
Interactive Flying At Its Best!
Due to the fact that traditional tandem gliding is so subject to constant weather variations, we offer instructional powered hang gliding. Our brand new Australian built Airborne trike is one of the most reliable, stable, quiet and fun ultra light aircraft in the world. This aircraft features tandem seating in which the student is in the rear and instructor in the front; similar to riding a motorcycle in the sky! The two place glider offers dual control from either front or rear seats and has a backup ballistic parachute system; a level of additional safety enjoyed by relatively few aircraft.
Gear & Comms
Everything Is Provided
Your instructional flight includes a two way intercom system (headsets) enabling easy communication between student and instructor. Helmets are provided and flight suits are also available. During your flight you will learn the basics of weight-shift control, aerodynamics and aviation safety as well as a bit about weather and its affects on aviation. A wing mounted camera is aboard to record your experience for a nominal fee.

The road to Hana is breathtakingly beautiful.
Don't Miss These Spots
On The Drive To Hana
One of the few places where getting there is most of the fun, the road to Hana is often reffered to being the "real Hawaii". This winding road traverses through some of the most scenic and easiest accessible coastline in Hawaii. Boasting some 600 curves and 54 bridges, the road features countless waterfalls, tropical rainforest and taro fields that demand your attention! Due to the many photo opportunities you will want to give yourself at least an hour additional travel time to make a few stops. There are also roadside fruit and snack stands featuring local treats such as the Half Way Stop where owner Neta Chong sells her famous home-made banana bread. Between mile marker 28 & 29, Carl & Linda sell fish kebabs and steamed breadfruit from their roadside stand, excellent for lunch! Driving time from Kahului (Maui's main airport) to Hana is 1 hour and 45 minutes.
