Once you get past the "sprint down a mountain towards a precipice" method of takeoff, paragliding is a very relaxing way to see the scenery.

The 'chair' you sit in is as comfy as any couch and the silence is total as you sore through the thermals. With skill a paraglider can stay in the air all day, searching for updrafts from the hills and hotspots, but a tandem flight can only last about 20 minutes at most.

I was tempted to take a course and get certified, but to be honest I think I'd get bored of it after a while, or get too cocky and face plant into a mountain.

Overall then, it's a comfy way to see the world from above and well worth a go. Find out more about the company I went with in Queenstown here.
