Hang gliding lessons involve learning to fly on your own, beginning on a training hill where you learn to launch, turn, and land. After a while you will buy your own glider and learn to “soar”, staying up in the air indefinitely and even gaining thousands of feet in altitude.
If you just want a one-time experience where an instructor takes you up in the air in a large glider that fits two people, see our Tandem Flights page.
