Dillingham Airfield · Oahu’s North Shore

Soar like
an eagle

Powered hang gliding over the North Shore, with the controls in your hands if you want them. Flying since 2003 — 25,000 first flights, one perfect safety record.

Since 2003

The most bird-like flying in aviation

Our trikes are powered hang gliders — an open cockpit, your knees in the breeze, and Oahu’s reef sliding past below. We fly seven days a week: light winds, smooth air, and the whole North Shore under you.

Ranked top 10% worldwide

TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice goes to the top 10% of attractions on earth. We’ve held their Certificate of Excellence every year since it began, and joined their Hall of Fame in 2018.

6,000 hours, one field

Your pilot Tom Sanders is an FAA Certified Flight Instructor and Light Sport Repairman with over 6,000 hours in this aircraft — all of them at Dillingham Airfield, where you’ll fly.

You fly it

Once we’re up, we hand you the bar and show you the basics. Some folks fly a little, some fly the whole time. There’s no pressure either way.

I can't thank you enough for making my first ultralight experience so memorable!
