About This Deal
The Deal
Taking flight from peaks across Galway, thrill-seekers can obtain a bird's eye view of the West Irish countryside. After a 40-minute walk to the launch spot, participants will harness the power of the wind, strapped to an experienced instructor who will guide the wing through to a gradual landing. Flight times are dependant on weather conditions, but customers can expect up to 40 minutes of graceful gliding. As a memento of the experience, a DVD packed with up to 5 hours of edited footage of the flight can also be purchased on the day for a €30 surcharge.
The Merchant

Led by an instructor with more than 25 years' experience, introductory lessons are also available back on the ground to help participants get to grips with the equipment and learn basic techniques such as taking-off and landing. Videos and pictures of various flights can be viewed on their site, while the company's blog keeps a check on up-coming weather conditions.
