Adventure idea #10 Give it a Try

One of the most well-known adventure sports is Hang Gliding. It’s one of the most exhilarating ways to experience the thrill of flight. Imagine soaring through the skies with the wind in your face, getting a bird’s-eye view of the stunning landscapes below. Hang gliding is both an adrenaline rush and a serene experience all rolled into one. I know that seems like a contradictory statement. However, once you get used to being that high, it’s really quite relaxing.

I took a couple of tandem flights at a place called Wallaby Ranch in Florida. Florida doesn’t seem like a place for Hang Gliding because there are no mountains to launch a glider from. Their solution is simply to tow the glider up with an ultralight towplane and release the tow cable.

Yes, this will seriously test any fear of heights you have but it is an incredible experience and worth doing.
