Leon Hunter: Great learning environment with, nice staff and the most knowledgeable instructor that I have ever meet.

Owera Janlongsin: Having self studied everything up to ATPL subjects, Nathan became my first and only aviation theory instructor I’ve had in my career… and for good reason. I saved for the best.His knowledge, understanding and teaching is next level. The full-time ground school course was one of the greatest times I’ve ever had. I learned so much. If I could, I would do it all over again. Thanks Nathan & the AFT team!

ClearedToLand7: Best course you’ll ever do for professional exams. Nathan and his team are so on the ball at beating CA$A at their own ridiculous game of failure rates. They teach you everything you need to know. The course notes are very well put together and the online practice exams are simply a must! Thoroughly prepared for the exam. Live in course the way to go for sure to give yourself the best chance of passing first time.

Lisa Bamford: I had never flown a plane before now. My first flight experience was amazing. Colin Appleton my instructor was highly experienced, encouraging and very clear with all instruction. I loved that he allowed me to steer the plane on the runway and in flight. I wanted a thrill so he instructed me in doing wing over rolls, loops and a few other manoeuvres.Highly recommend!!!

Mick McKean: Just finished a one hour introduction to flying flight with instructor Riley. Had a fantastic flight around Bribie an over the Glasshouse Mountains. I had lots of hands on flying time, certainly a great way to see what flying an aircraft is like. Riley is an excellent instructor, he gave clear instructions and made me feel very relaxed and confident. He'll make a great commercial pilot in the not too distant future. Thanks to Inspire Aviation and especially to Riley, it was definitely worth the money!

Cheryl Garnett: Highly recommend. Very experienced and knowledgeable instructors.... lots of fun and laughs. High level of safety. If you're looking for a fun flight over the Sunshine Coast or to gain your licence either way I highly recommend Inspire Aviation!!!

Andrew Gill: I had a great flight with my instructor HannahFriendly club and a nice airfield

Dhiraj Kumar Masodgi: Everyone should visit this place and experience the things as a pilot. I loved the introductory trial flight and also got an opportunity to fly the small plane . I will never ever forget the whole experience. The view from pilot cockpit were stunning. I would definitely fly again in the future. The briefing on the ground was amazing, well saying that will not make the judgment to whole experience . Recommended to everyone. If you don’t want to learn flying it’s fine but still must have experience.

Ben Irwin: I was given a Trial Introduction Flight as a birthday gift and wasn't really sure what to expect. However from the moment I walked in the door, the staff were professional, respectful and made me feel completely comfortable. Mitch was my instructor for the day and was very thorough with his knowledge and excellent at explaining the airplanes controls and how we would use them.The flight itself was fantastic! Once up in the air, we followed the coastline of Bribie, turned out to the glass house mountains - the views were terrific out to Moreton Island and south to Brisbane.The best part about the whole experience was that I flew the plane for 80% of the time, inclusing takeoff! Mitch was a great instructor and I'd highly recommend flying with him and with Inspire Aviation, whether buying as a gift or flying for yourself.

Martin Kander: A perfect afternoon in the air, first time in Control of a plane under expert instructions.

Rob Harding: Inspire lived up to their name. The instructor was clear in his directions and hands off enough for me to enjoy the experience of flying. On the second flight with the same instructor I was with some guidance able to take off and do the setup for the landing.

Lisa O'Shea: My son has now had 4 flights with Inspire Aviation. Each time a different pilot and every pilot has been amazing. I have recommended Inspire Aviation to friends and will continue to do so. A fantastic group of people who love aviation. I believe we will be back around Easter time for another flight! I would give 10 stars if it was possible.

Rishabh Jain: I took a 40 minutes flying lesson with Mitch, and really enjoyed it. I will return next time for a longer session

vasant kumar chinnipilli: ***Must Read till the END!!***I recently had an incredible experience developing my paragliding skills from an amazing educational institute SEQ, and I can't recommend SEQ highly enough. Here's a review based on my experience:From the very first day, the institute insisted on strengthening our basics and focus, which was crucial to building our confidence. We spent a lot of time on ground handling, which was extremely helpful in getting us ready to take to the skies. The trainer and support staff were very informative and experienced, providing us with all the knowledge and skills we needed to succeed.One of the most impressive things about the institute was the attention to detail care during the initial flights. The staff always ensured the safety of the students, which made us feel very secure throughout the entire experience. They also chose appropriate fly sites based on the experience of the students, making each flight all the more exciting.We were provided with good and new equipment, and we spent a lot of hours getting practical flying experience, which helped us develop our skills quickly. The theory sessions were also incredibly informative, and we were introduced to a wide range of paragliding resources.The institute even went above and beyond by informing and inviting us to fly at various sites along with them, which helped us gain even more flying experience. And if we missed any classes or weren't comfortable with our skills, we had the option to join and learn from a new batch.But the experience wasn't just about learning how to paraglide. We also made lots of memories and took lots of photographs, and we made lots of new friends to hang out with. The team dinners and lunches and celebrations were also a great way to bond with everyone and create a real sense of community.Overall, I had an incredible time at this institute and feel like I learned so much. The experience was unforgettable, and I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone interested in paragliding. Thanks to this institute, I now have new skills, great memories, and a community of people who share my passion for flying.

Mina Ryad: Simply awesome 😊I’ve completed my Paragliding license course with SEQ, and from the phone call to book until the last minute, I had a great experience.Very high safety standards, professional, knowledgeable and very passionate team. They were with us every step, always available to answer our endless questions. Best of all, they are loving and enjoy it as much as us if not more. Even though I didn’t stay in there, having accommodation available for students and pilots is awesome and a lot cheaper than staying in a hotel and getting your own transport and also makes it way easier for the outdoor site visits.the training gear was almost brand-new and well-looked after.The place is nice and cosy, with chilled staff, pilots and students. More like a big family on a holiday.A big thank you for the great experience.

Tony Martin: I recently completed the PG2 course with S.E.Q. it was one of the best experiences of my life, I took the oppertunity to stay at HQ , Joshie and his amazing team made me feel like one of the family from day one, if you want to do something exciting and life changing and become part of an incredibly friendly and supportive community them give this a go, I'm looking forward to getting back in the air with these guys at every available opportunityLoving flying Tony Martin

Waylon Wiseman: Completed the PG2 course with Josh. It was an incredibly challenging but rewarding experience. Would highly recommend! Josh and the team were fantastic and really instilled in me the confidence to fly. The sense of community and Josh’s passion for teaching and flying means the fun doesn’t stop after the course is completed. Looking forward to flying more with these guys in the future. See you soon!

Eigo Männik: This was the highlight for me visiting Sunshine Coast start of 2023. SEQ people are very professional and fun to talk to. Also, the experience of tandem paragliding felt safe , exiting, and sparked interest, finding out more about this sport . Definitely recommend them 100% ! 👍🏻

Lindsey Bowles: This was the best experience of my life!! I will absolutely be coming back. SEQ was absolutely perfect. Anna was amazing, she made the booking process effortless and easy and Josh was an incredible pilot! He made me feel safe and comfortable while sharing his passion and blowing my mind up there! I couldn't ever properly describe it, you just have to try it! Peace and exhilaration at the same time. Awesome humans, awesome day. Thank you so much! Will remember it forever (:

Michael Richardson: 10/10 - Life changing.We all know what it's like to look at the sky, and the birds, and wish that we could set off and take flight...The truth is, we can, and it's so much more accessible than I ever believed!Walking into the PG2 course, many among us had never so much as done a tandem flight; committing just to that wonderful childlike vision of flying. 9 days later, it's paid off like we never imagined!Joshie and the whole team have created SUCH a fun, welcoming and exciting culture at SEQ, you will never want to leave!From day 1 I was impressed by how the course was managed and delivered; structured and cohesive, but flexible enough to the dynamic/changing weather conditions to get the maximum out of every day!The course was super engaging, exciting, and at times quite challenging - from the full send days out flying, and even the theory sessions, which I honestly welcomed; we're only human after all, and we do need to stop and chill a bit sometimes.Instead of some monotonous PowerPoint presentation of mind numbing technical jargon, this was highly engaging and thought provoking.There's so much I could say about what an amazing experience this was, but honestly, you just have to experience it for yourself!Walk into the course as strangers, and you will leave as family. After the course, you've got so much support as a new pilot, and you're part of one of the most epic communities around.#seqfamforlife

Tom van Gils: Joshie and the crew at SEQ provide a safety focused team oriented learning experience that makes people feel welcomed into the sport of paragliding and excited/confident about the future.SEQ will try and immerse you as the student in as many different flying environments as possible such as coastal and inland, that equips the student with a respect/understanding for the dynamic nature of weather.I found that SEQ focus on positive feedback catered to the student, that when paired with the homely Headquarters truly creates a rare and great learning environment!

Greta Jansing: I have never done Paragliding before so was a bit scared before going but the guys from SEQ made me feel super comfortable from the beginning and you can really tell that Josh has lots of experience in what he is doing. All in all it was just magic flying over the sand dune and the ocean, even got to see some whales in the end.Thanks once again for this incredible experience!

wheregoesanna: I can absolutely recommend SEQ Paragliding! Joshie is not only a very sympathetic person but also an awesome instructor and incredibly talented pilot! I am so glad I met him and got to learn from him! The tandem I did with him was also the best I ever had! It does not matter if you are a complete Newbie or already a pilot, SEQ is the right address when it comes to great adventures. It goes without saying, that Sunny Coast is also one of the best places to be for that! Go and fly with SEQ!

Brady Lane: Great experience, you’ll have an awesome time with SEQ!

Hannah Piper: Josh is incredible and a very talented and experienced paragliding pilot - he makes sure to bring the thrills and fun :

Steve Neal: Just spent an amazing time doing my first paraglide in a tandam with Josh. It was an exilarating yet serene experience. I felt totally at ease and safe with Josh in control. I will be considering taking Paragliding up as a sport. Hope to do the pilot's course with Josh.

Will White: Shane is an amazing instructor who hold safety as priority with his students. He has modern equipment and provides more than just the basic curriculum of PG2 courses. Would highly recommend to students who are tired of being messed around by instructors providing sub par training. If you want to come out of your course and be confident that you can take off, fly and land confidently SEQ Paragliding is an along school that delivers.

Braden Long: Did my R44/22 HFR with Helitec. Machines in great condition and very friendly environment. Would highly recommend doing you flight training or scenic flight here.
