Flying Wahine is a glider flight operator located in Waialua, Hawaii. The business presents three primary experiences: Aerobatics, Scenic Ride, and Glider Lessons. Each offering centers on engine-less flight to deliver either high-adrenaline maneuvers or quiet, scenic glides over coastal terrain.
The Aerobatics trip features inverted flight in an engine-less glider, designed to provide intense aerial maneuvers for riders seeking a strong adrenaline rush. The Scenic Ride highlights Mokuleia from the air, gliding along the cliffside to show coastal views and island scenery from a sacred, elevated perspective. Glider Lessons with Jeni offer hands-on instruction tailored for beginners and experienced pilots alike, focusing on silent flight techniques and piloting skills.
Flying Wahine operates from Waialua and offers experiences that emphasize the unique characteristics of gliding: the absence of engine noise, direct engagement with wind and thermals, and a distinct sense of soaring above the landscape. Information about booking windows, pricing, and operational details is available directly from Flying Wahine. Prospective participants interested in aerobatics, scenic glider rides over Mokuleia, or instruction with Jeni can consult Flying Wahine for availability, scheduling, and specific trip descriptions.
