Hang Gliding

Hang Gliding can be a lot of fun and what better time to learn than while you are on vacation at the Outer Banks.

The park is home to the highest sand dunes on the east coast and provide a great place to learn the basics of flying.

A local flying school provides professional instructors that will make you feel safe and confident while completing the class.
