Wallaby Ranch, Davenport FL

Even if you don't hang glide, Wallaby Ranch is just a really cool place! But, of course, the hang gliding is absolutely incredible. Malcolm and Chris were very helpful and definitely prioritized safety.

A heads up, it's best to call the night before to see if the weather will participate. We got hit with fog two separate days and had to wait awhile and then only one of us could go up because it had gotten windy. I'm glad that they're willing to make those hard decisions to keep us safe. Just be prepared to switch some things around on your itinerary if you want to guarantee a flight (worth it, in my opinion).

Highly recommend giving this a try! We did the discovery flight which made the process simple…showed up, went over some paperwork, and then waited for our turn to go up. The flight itself is relaxing and offers beautiful views.

The first time I came to Wallaby Ranch was when I turned 50. There is a rule somewhere that you have to do something stupid when you turn 50 like jump out of a plane.

That wasn’t going to happen.

So, I guess the next best thing is to drag you into the sky by a plane and then let you go.

I was terrified.

But I did it anyway.

The team at Wallaby Ranch was amazing. They clearly knew what the heck they were doing and made me fell like there was less of a chance that I way fall to my death. Which is a good thing.

I enjoyed it so much that my wife and I took my son for his birthday (he’s not 50 yet) and we all had an awesome time!

He wasn’t nervous at all which kind of made me look like a wimp.

Oh, and last thing. Stick around for the breakfast afterwards.

I love this place! Wonderful place for photography and the staff is helpful. Its sprawling so I've been there at large scale photo sessions with probably 100 people or so and there was plenty of room. Whenever I get to work there, its always a good time.

I had an amazing experience here. I went tandem with the owner, and he made me feel so comfortable. You start off laying in the sling while the wheeled hang glider is pulled by a small glider plane. At about 2,000-2,500 feet, the glider gets unhooked and the hang glider free floats. Steering is a breeze! Pun intended. The instructor will teach what to do. It's so peaceful and exhilarating. I am afraid of heights but felt comfortable. They have go pro video and can take pics as you take off or land for you. Landing was smooth as you glide back down and roll on the wheels. Then ranch itself is lovely and peaceful. I recommend you check this place out!

Epic holiday party! Laurie, Malcom, ranch hands, music & guests make it so!

I loved my experience at Wallaby Ranch, I had to come back a few times because of the weather but the time i went up it was amazing. Hang gliding is super fun and I'd recommend Wallaby Ranch as a great place for hang gliding
