Discovery Flights

Discovery flights are a way to experience flight in a gyroplane for the first time. Technically they are a flight lesson, but no commitment is required beyond the cost of the flight itself. As well as experiencing the capabilities of the gyroplane, you will see some incredible scenery and sights, and we offer a range of options/durations, including 30, 60, and 120 minute flight times.
