Dune Hang Gliding
Learn to fly at Kitty Hawk Kites’ Hang Gliding Training Center at Jockey's Ridge—home to the tallest natural sand dunes on the East Coast. We are the largest hang gliding school in the world, teaching hundreds of thousands (over 400,000) of students since 1974!
We have taught students aged 4-92, male and female, physically fit and physically challenged. In fact, we can accommodate paraplegics, blind, deaf and other persons physically challenged. All we require is a desire to learn how to fly. We provide beginner, intermediate and advanced instruction.
Guided by certified instructors, you’ll experience 5 solo training flights in your first lesson—all while staying close to the ground. It’s a safe, fun, and empowering activity for families, kids (ages 4+), couples, and solo adventurers alike.
Perfect for:
- First-time flyers
- Family-friendly OBX adventures
- School groups, scout troops, and birthday parties
- Anyone looking for a unique Outer Banks experience
