Glider Flights
Queenstown & Omarama

A scenic flight like no other.

Your gateway to soaring through the skies and experiencing the ultimate glider flight adventures over the Southern Alps of New Zealand.

GLIDE QUEENSTOWN

Welcome to Glide Queenstown

Nestled in the heart of this picturesque region, our business is dedicated to providing you with an exhilarating and unforgettable flying experience amidst the stunning landscapes of the South Island of NZ.

Our self launching Arcus motor-glider is unique in that it can take off under it's own power, then once airborne, fold away the motor into the rear fuselage to become a high performance gliding aircraft. If required, we can also restart the motor in-flight which adds more security over a conventional glider. Typically this allows us to go further from home base and explore more of what is considered to be one of the top gliding areas in the World.

I wanted to acknowledge the wonderful experience Margot and I had on the 19/10/2024 with you at Omarama and environs….
You were totally professional in your approach: explaining clearly safety issues and all other relevant matters. (your very human approach is illustrated in even tying up my shoelace!) You gave us a very generous experience; highlighting the magnificence of our mountainous terrain. Your constant commentary added to our experience and clearly translated your passion and understanding of your craft of gliding.

We can not thank you enough and hope that many other folk will enjoy the thrill and singular experience your skill and knowledge is able to impart. From the north of New Zealand,
Our warm regards to you

Peter and Margot Linnell
