There’s something undeniably magical about defying gravity. Flying experiences capture any childhood dream of soaring through the skies, offering a mix of freedom, adrenaline, and unforgettable views.
Whether it’s a hot air balloon at sunrise, a glider cutting through the breeze, or an open cockpit microlight, airborne adventures are the ultimate way to escape the everyday.
They're not just thrilling – they give a whole new perspective on the world below, and that’s exactly what makes them such a popular gift for adventurers and anyone who fancies something truly different.
Among the most exhilarating of these sky-high escapades? Paramotoring.
Paramotoring is one of the most accessible and awe-inspiring forms of aviation out there. It involves a pilot wearing a lightweight motor while flying a paraglider wing. The motor provides thrust, allowing take-off from flat ground – no hill launches needed – and gives the pilot full control over height and direction.
You're not in a cockpit or strapped into a plane seat – you're out in the open, cruising through the air with the wind on your face.
Think of it as the freedom of paragliding with the added lift of a small engine. The result? A peaceful yet exhilarating flight that can take you up to 3,000 feet high with panoramic views you won’t get anywhere else.
One of the best things about paramotoring is how beginner-friendly it is. You don’t need any previous flying experience – just a basic level of fitness and a sense of adventure.
Instructors are qualified professionals who guide you through everything from take-off and landing to steering and safety, so whether you’re a curious first-timer or someone ticking off a bucket-list dream, you’ll be in good hands.
For those who’ve tried other flying experiences, paramotoring offers something more raw and immersive. And for complete novices, it’s a thrilling introduction to the world of flight.
Paramotoring is available in several scenic locations across the UK. The exact site depends on wind conditions and weather, but you’ll often find yourself flying over fields, countryside and rolling landscapes with minimal air traffic – just you, your instructor, and the open sky.
The WonderDays Paramotoring Experience offers you the chance to learn and fly in the stunning setting of the Leicestershire countryside, a beautiful and quiet spot that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable flights.
Your paramotoring experience starts with a safety briefing and an introduction to the equipment. You’ll learn the basics of how the motor and wing work, how to steer, and what to expect during take-off and flight. Then it’s time to kit up and hit the skies!
With the instructor handling the controls or offering shared controls depending on your comfort level, you’ll experience up to 20 minutes in the air. From up high, you’ll enjoy views that stretch for miles – a truly breathtaking moment that blends serenity and excitement in equal measure.
Don’t worry about needing to run off a cliff or do anything extreme. The motor helps get you airborne from level ground, and your instructor is with you every step (and flight) of the way.
If you’re looking to gift someone a sky-high memory or treat yourself to something unforgettable, a Paramotoring Trial Lesson is a brilliant choice. You can purchase a voucher quickly and easily on the WonderDays website with flexible booking dates and the option to personalise the experience with a gift message.
It’s a unique experience that combines adventure, freedom, and the kind of story you’ll be telling for years to come.
