How it Works
- THE PREFLIGHT CHECK – We do not take reservations because our tandem flights depend on weather! If we are flying it is a first come, first serve basis.  On a day you’d like to fly, call the Gliderport at +1 (858) 452-9858 or check the weather to determine if we are flying tandems. We prefer winds coming from the west at 8+ mph. Torrey Pines is lucky enough to enjoy flyable weather about 300 days out of the year, so there’s a good chance we will be flying! If it’s flyable, then come on by.Â
-  DO THE PAPERWORK – When you arrive, you’ll do the legal and video waivers, which takes about 10 minutes. Then, you’ll complete a one-page, temporary membership application to the Torrey Pines Gliderport flight school. When you’ve finished the paperwork, you’ll pay for your flight and then go meet your tandem pilot! Your pilot will give you some basic ground instruction, and you’re off!
- FLY – You’ll enjoy an incredible 20 minute flight over the beautiful Torrey Pines coastal cliffs. You’ll get a bird’s eye view of the emerald Torrey Pines Golf Course, stunning mansions along the cliffs, and miles of dramatic coastline. When it’s over, you’ll land right back where you took off. Sometimes the winds get light, and when they do, you’ll land safely on famous Black’s Beach for a quick 15-minute hike, back to the top of the cliff.
Please Note:
In the realm of free flight, there is no such thing as a reservation, since we rely on wind conditions. Tandem Flights are sold as a gift certificates and can be used when flying conditions are the best.
Enjoy tandem paragliding or tandem hang gliding from the scenic cliffs of Torrey Pines.
Paragliding is the more prevalent of the two and allow us to fly in a more diverse range of conditions. The tandem flight program is available seven days a week, 9am-5pm or later if the winds allow. Flights are conducted on a first come first serve basis. Photo and video packages are available for your tandem flight (optional).
