The sand dunes of Jockey’s Ridge are an excellent place to hang glide, and the Kitty Hawk Kites Hang Gliding School has been offering hang gliding lessons here for more than 25 years. The standard beginner lessons last 3 hours, including 1 hour of ground school, and there will never be more than five students per instructor. Students can choose from packages that include either three or five individual flights down the dunes; photo and video footage are available for an additional fee. Tandem flight packages are also offered for anyone who wants to fly above the dunes while strapped to a qualified pilot.
