Gliding
Consider soaring though the air in a small plane with no engines, and floating peacefully by panoramic land and water views - this is gliding in Vancouver, Coast and Mountains. Hope and the Pemberton Valley are two ideal soaring zones, a result of the "ridge lift" effect of wind funneling through the valley and deflecting off the mountainsides. There are a handful of tour companies that offer this amazing experience.
Hang Gliding
Flying is probably man's oldest dream. Now, reality has replaced this fantasy! With a light, sturdy frame and fabric wings, hang gliding gives you that bird-like sensation as you drift with the drafts around Metro Vancouver and Mighty Fraser Country, two popular havens for hang gliders. So, what's stopping you from touching the clouds?
Hot Air Ballooning
Very popular out in Mighty Fraser Country, where ballooning tours take you on a placid, relaxing flight over the patchwork scenery of the Fraser Valley.
