Glider Discovery Flight in Florida

A First Flight Experience Over the Gulf Coast

A glider discovery flight in Florida is perfect for those who wish to experience their first aerial adventure in a calm and safe environment. Takeoffs take place from well-known sites such as Venice, Winter Haven, or Naples in the southern part of the state. After a short briefing, the glider is towed up to about 4,000 feet before beginning to glide freely above the coastline. You’ll see white sandy beaches, mangroves, and the turquoise waters characteristic of the Gulf of Mexico. The flight, lasting between 25 and 45 minutes on average, offers a rare combination of excitement and serenity.

A Flight Accessible to Everyone and Supervised by Professionals

Glider flights are conducted by experienced instructors certified by the FAA. No prior knowledge is required—just the desire to experience the freedom of flight. The modern gliders used offer great comfort and excellent visibility thanks to their glass canopies. You can book a flight for yourself or offer it as a gift. This activity is available year-round, weather permitting. It’s an original and relaxing way to fly over Florida’s west coast, admire the lakes of Winter Haven and the islands of Venice, and enjoy an extraordinary aerial experience.
