Airborne Action Ever wanted to experience the thrill of hang-gliding, but your 'respect' of heights has prevented you? If Airborne Action could remove your worry of controlling the glider...and associated risks, would you have a go? Cable Hang Gliding has an advantage over traditional hang-gliding, as people feel (and of course are) much safer being attached to a cable which acts as a safety line. So it's perfect for those who have always wanted to hang-glide but have never been game. It's also great therapy for those with a fear of heights. Cable Hang Gliding is a safe, fun activity for all, (age or disability pose little or no barriers). The only restriction that we do have is a maximum weight limit of 110kg.

    Testimonial

    “I should take this opportunity to thank you for a lovely time in the McLaren Vale. We copied your caramelised pear recipe last weekend for a dinner party and everyone loved it. If we know of anyone travelling down your way, we will have no hesitation in recommending that they stay at Bellevue. ”
