Glider Rides
Back to OahuGlider Rides
Imagine soaring through silence on gossamer-like wings, a panoramic view of Oahu below you. A glider ride is an unforgettable experience, and it's available at Dillingham Air Field, in Mokuleia, on Oahu's North Shore. The glider is towed behind a plane; at the proper altitude, the tow is dropped and you (and the glider pilot) are left to soar in the thermals. There are three costs involved in a glider ride: plane rental fee, instructor fee, and towing fee. We recommend Mr. Bill at Honolulu Soaring (tel. 808/677-3404; www.honolulusoaring.com); he's been offering piloted glider rides since 1970, rates start at $35 for 10 minutes for just one passenger (and go up to $158 for 60 minutes for just one passenger).
