Every year during August to September the southerly trade winds coming off the Indian Ocean allows for ideal wind direction and strength affording some the most ideal teaching conditions known to us. Taking advantage of these magical winds means that even a novice pilot can fly the entire 12km stretch of the Bukit Peninsula all the way from the Nikko Hotel in Nusa Dua to Nyang-Nyang, Uluwatu.
The views are magic, blue seas and gliders dotting along the cliffs flying over 5-star resorts, spotting Dugong feeding on seaweed and the graceful manta ray dancing beneath your feet – it’s a flying experience second to none.
Then once you have overdosed on sun and scenery, top landing is a breeze on the huge take off area where the local villagers come and greet you with cold beverages and a well-earned snack – even packing your glider while you enjoy a Bintang and take in the day.
