Hang Gliding

Mount Tamborine serves as a primary destination for hang gliding enthusiasts in South East Queensland. The elevated terrain provides consistent wind conditions suitable for launching gliders from various ridges. Visitors can book tandem flights that do not require prior experience, as qualified instructors manage the equipment and navigation throughout the duration of the activity. These operations take place near the Tamborine National Park, providing a perspective of the natural landscape only accessible from the air. The take-off points are regulated to ensure safety and compliance with local aviation standards. Participants meet at designated locations within the 4272 postcode before heading to the launch ramps. The flight paths typically overlook the vast valleys and forested areas of the Scenic Rim region. This sporting venue attracts both local hobbyists and international tourists looking for outdoor recreation outside of the coastal areas. Facilities at the landing zones often include space for spectators to watch the gliders descend. The proximity to Curtis Falls makes it a convenient addition to a day trip exploring the plateau's natural features.
