Fly Mystic Top to Bottom
Fly Mystic Top to Bottom
Have you seen wings gliding low above town in the calm morning air? A Top to Bottom flight is the gentlest way to experience paragliding.
You’ll meet in the Landing Paddock before the drive up the hill with your pilot, and the team will brief you on what to expect next. The glide from the astroturfed summit launch of Mystic to the landing below takes around 10 minutes, and if you’re game, you can choose some roller coaster like moves on the way down.
All up, the experience takes around 1 hour, and while it’s the shortest of our experiences, because we don’t ride the rising air up to the clouds, our pilots are consistently told it’s an unforgettable experience.
For same day bookings or one day out bookings please call (0481 283 489) or email us (info@brightflight.com.au).

Choosing dates
You’ll be asked to nominate a date or two on the booking form. Whether you’re in town for a weekend, a week, or you live nearby, we’ll work with you to find the best day and time based on your availability and the weather. Nothing is set in stone because we’re a little dependent on the weather and we want you to have the best possible experience.
Weather to fly
Normally Top to Bottom flights are run in the mornings and late summer evenings, but talk to us if you have specfic requirements. When we finalise the time with you we’ll discuss weather to make sure you get the most from your flight based on the timing you have available.
We have a flexible weather rebooking policy, we’d rather you have a great experience with our team, than flying in air that doesn’t give you a fantastic experience. We understand that what makes for a smooth flight will vary from passenger to passenger, so we’ll discuss what you’re after when we book in.
Passenger Requirements
To fly tandem with us you need to be between 30 – 100kg, and have done at least 10 laps around the sun (minimum 10 years old).
Tall or short is no problem, and so long as you can do a short light jog you should be fine, but if you have any questions about suitability please give us a call.
What to wear and bring
We launch almost 600m above town, and the air can get cool up there. A light jacket in summer, and a warmer jacket in winter.
Trainers, running or walking shoes work best, launching and landing is easy, but you’ll need to wear shoes you can do a short jog in.
You’ll also want your sunglasses, and any phones, GoPro’s or selfie sticks.
Photos
These days we all have smart phones. Our pilots can provide selfie sticks with leashes that fit most phones at no cost, and we’ll give you tips for you and your entourage on where to stand on launch and landing for the best shots of your take-off and landing.
Transport
We meet and finish at the Landing Zone on Wandiligong road. So all you need to do is get to us, and we’ll take it from there.
Best time of year
Every season has it’s own advantages for a Top to Bottom Glide. Summer has hot daylight savings evenings where you can float above town at the end of a long day of play. Winter lets you catch glimpses of snow capped mountains. In spring you’ll see waterfalls glistening off Buffalo, and in autumn, well, there’s no better way to see the tree colours than a glide over town.
Cancellations
To cancel your flight for a refund we need to be notified at least 24 hours before your flight.
