Tandem Sky Rides

Take a Thrilling Sky Ride lesson on a custom designed motor-less tandem aircraft, commonly known as a hang glider.

Although an Ultralight airplane tows you and your certified instructor into the sky, you soon release and fly free - just like birds. Modern hang gliders are safe, versatile, and fun, allowing The Florida Ridge to offer you a wide variety of tandem Sky Ride lessons, each with its own benefits and special appeal. The only thing better than taking a Sky Ride yourself is giving someone you know a Gift Certificate to take one themselves.

The Ultimate Mile-High Sky Ride

The Experience of a Lifetime!


Fly 5,280 feet into the air and soar freely among the clouds, the entire Florida countryside stretched out before you, coast to coast. Float by your own cloud shadow, mystically encircled in a rainbow formed by the refracting sunlight. You'll be aloft for so long, you'll be able to experience all the thrills and excitement of the other four Sky Rides put together. And when you finally descend you’ll never again look into the sky without reliving this spectacular adventure.

5,280 feet — $229

The Smoothie

A Magic Carpet Ride!


As close to a magic carpet ride as you can get. Lift gently off the runway and feel the cool breeze and sunlight on your face. Once aloft, extend your arms and become practically weightless, every move you make as graceful as a dove's, flying over patchwork fields and mirrored lakes.

2,500 feet — $129

The Screamer

Experience What a Modern Glider can Do!


Dives,  Spins,  Stalls,  360’s,  Wing-Overs
Definitely not for the faint of heart. Experience what a modern hang glider can really do. As much as your stomach can take! Forget the scenery and just go for the rush.

3,500 feet — $169

The Pilot

Control and Fly the Hang Glider Yourself!


After 30 minutes of video and ground school, you'll get a hands-on lesson in free flight. Actually control and fly the hang glider yourself from take-off to touch-down. This is the first step toward becoming a certified solo pilot - and the only Sky Ride that can be credited toward the cost of our complete solo training package.

2,500 feet - $179
