Our latest Experience Days partner is WoW Flight School in Umkomaas, offering microlight flying lessons and experiences from as little as R850. Situated just outside of Durban, these aerial adventures make great gifts for Durbanites, and those who enjoy adrenaline-pumping thrills with a dash of scenic sightseeing thrown in.
There are three options to choose from; the half hour flight, the one hour flight, or the two hour Durban Harbour round trip. The variety available means you can choose the perfect gift for those who might be a little nervous, to those who want to learn the basics of flying, to those who just want to sit back and enjoy an incredible aerial tour - or you could treat yourself!
Flying experiences are great fun because you can really make it your own. Some like to just enjoy the ride, whereas some prefer to take the controls and feel the thrill of aviation piloting. With WoW Flight School, you can also choose the aircraft you'd like to fly in! With a lightweight open-air frame, the Aquila Microlight is the closest you'll get to flying like a bird, with barely anything between you and the ground below - available for the 30 and 60 minute flights. Having a bit more structure and power behind it, the GT 450 Microlight is perfect for introductory lessons, and can be booked for the 30 minute, 60 minute and Durban Harbour experiences. Finally, there's the ultra lightweight Bantam aircraft - more like a small plane than a microlight! This aircraft can also be booked for the 30 minute, 60 minute and Durban Harbour experiences.
Have a look at the incredible images below to see what it's all about!

Struggled to find directions to the place. No landline or telephone number in case you’re running late. Bad service from the information desk inside the V&A Waterfront. The cruise was nice. Can recommend to cater non-alcoholic beverages as well. The dinner at Quay 4 was okay. It had a tavern atmosphere and not a restaurant atmosphere. People drinking beer and eating is not for us. The food was a set menu that they had to go look for somewhere, but the food was okay. 6.5/10. read more >
Enjoyed the experience, Tuk Tuk arrived exactly on time at the stated venue. Gift, the Driver, quite knowledgeable on choices of wine farms which we hadn't been to before. Tuk Tuk itself was a bit old and noisy. Degree of difficulty in getting in and out of it. However, an enjoyable outing. read more >
A great time was had. We deferred to our driver on the best route and were not sorry. Only recommendation would be better marking of the pickup point. read more >
