This gliding experience will make you gasp as you and your instructor glide back to earth enjoying the views of Southern Victoria with only the noise of the wind in the background.

Do you know someone that has always wanted to be a pilot? Send them on an introductory gliding flight with a qualified instructor over Melbourne. Gliding is one of Australia's fastest growing activities, and it's easy to see why. The perfect mix of elegant flying, gentle exhilaration and friendly atmosphere at the gliding club makes for an unforgettable experience.

After an introduction with your qualified flight instructor you will be towed to your chosen release height of 3000 feet. Once the required height has been reached the instructor will release the glider from the tow aircraft and the wonderful experience of "silent flight" commences.

You will be soaring on the thermals in the same way as birds. In fact, with no engines to scare them away, don't be surprised if you are joined mid-flight by a local Sea Eagle! At his/her discretion, the instructor may also allow you to have some "hands on" flying experience and teach you the basics of flying the glider.

This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.

    This was a fantastic experience the glider pilot Greg explained to me whilst in the air and on the ground what was happening.. He communicated on how we were gaining more height and i even had a go with the controls which was something else.. I would like to thank RedBalloon & the team down at bacchus marsh what a day!!
