T&Cs

Note: The sport of paragliding is weather-dependent. Our primary concern is passenger safety, and flights may be postponed or rescheduled if weather conditions are unsuitable. SEQ Paragliding is not liable for transportation costs under any circumstances.

Meeting Place

​

Fitness

​

• Passengers need a basic level of fitness, similar to that required for driving a car.

​

Clothing

​

• Recommended attire: long-sleeved clothing and sport footwear; dresses are not suitable for flying.

​

Cameras

​

• Passengers may carry their cameras at their own risk, securely attached via a lanyard. Helmet cameras are not allowed.

​

Motion Sickness

​

• The motion of a paraglider in the air has been known to affect people susceptible to motion sickness. If you do suffer from motion sickness, it is advisable to take medication prior to your flight.

• Avoid heavy meals 2-3 hours before flying and consider drinking a lukewarm lemonade (freshly squeezed) without sugar on the morning of the flight.

​

Alcohol/Drugs

​

• No alcohol/drugs for eight hours before the flight. Due to the foot launching and landing techniques employed in paragliding, the passenger plays a major role in assisting the pilot to execute a successful flight. For this reason, it is important that the passenger is not affected by alcohol or other drugs. The pilot reserves the right to refuse carriage of any passenger deemed affected by alcohol or other drugs.

​
