What you can expect
Soar over Benalla and the rolling countryside of Northeast Victoria on a scenic glider flight, climbing to 2,000 feet behind a mighty tow plane before releasing into smooth, silent flight. With a friendly, qualified instructor in the back seat, you can relax and take in the views across the region, or have a go on the controls and discover what it feels like to fly a glider yourself.
Weather permitting, you might catch a thermal and gain a little extra height in the still country air. Benalla is the gateway to Northeast Victoria and the Alpine region, so your flight makes an easy start to a weekend of exploring. Back on the ground, family and friends are welcome to come close to the gliders, listen in on your briefing and snap a few photos as you climb aboard. It is a relaxed, memorable way to see this corner of Victoria from a whole new angle.
