Lisa C., United Kingdom — 09/12/2025
5/5
The microlight flight was incredible. Perfect conditions with very little wind (we changed the date and time from original booking) and amazing sights. I recommend an hour long session to give you time to get to the coast and fly along it for a while, half an hour wouldn't really be long enough. The most amazing start to the day.
