No experience is necessary, and there are no age limitations. This lesson begins with you hooking into the glider with your instructor, who stays with you in the glider throughout the duration of your flight. Then you are towed up to 2,000 feet and released from the tow line, leaving you to soar freely through the clouds over breathtakingly beautiful terrain. There are no age restrictions, and no minimum weight requirement for tandem instruction, which is also accessible to the disabled. Boat tow instruction, offered on both the northern and southern beaches, tows you behind a motorized boat and you glide smoothly back onto the water on pontoons.
Reservations are required for most recreation, so be sure to call ahead.
Discount packages are available. At one time, descendents of Spanish mustangs roamed much of the northern Outer Banks. Better yet, a couple of adventure tours are available that will deliver you and your family or friends right to these wild horses. An excursion into these parts with someone possessing local knowledge will make your trip all the more memorable. If you're seeking a place for horseback riding, Buxton Stables on Hatteras Island is the only venue on the Outer Banks.
