First-time tandem tips
-
You don't need experience
Tandems are strapped to a licensed instructor. 10-min briefing, then in the plane.
-
Weight + age limits apply
Most operators: 18+ (or 12+ with parental consent), max 100–110 kg. Confirm at booking.
-
Pre-book the photo/video
Cheaper if you book ahead than at the dropzone (around $90 vs $129 on the day).
-
Don't book day 1
Allow 2 days in town — operators reschedule if weather isn't safe.
-
Bring sunscreen + closed shoes
You'll be on grass for 30+ mins. Long socks recommended.
