The Original Glider Rides
Your piloted Scenic glider Tour will start with flight along the lush Waianae Mountains with rugged cliffs, cattle and horse trails; panoramic views of Oahu’s world famous North Shore including Waimea Bay; a glimpse of the Satellite Tracking Station at Kaena Point, and colorful windsurfing sails off the beach at Mokuleia. Depending on the length-of-ride and weather conditions, you can see all of the North Shore and most of the interior of the island including Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head and Honolulu to the South. A 20-minute flight can attain altitudes of 3,000 feet or more, and longer flights are available. Mother Nature sometimes has a say in where we can fly and how high we can get (because of cloud-cover and wind-conditions), but rides of up-to-an-hour are available. Seating is “cozy”, so we suggest that you initially make your plans for flights of 30 minutes or less; and then if conditions are favorable, decide on additional TIME-options when you arrive for your flight!
Note: Maximum combined weight for 2-passengers is 350-pounds.

TheBus: Runs every 20 to 30 minutes. Call from Haleiwa for a pickup from The Original Glider Rides. Will pickup from any hotel in Waikiki for a fee of $25 per person, roundtrip. By car: Take H-1 Freeway Westbound. Take the H-2 North for 8 miles and it becomes the City Street, Hwy 99 which will then turn into HWY 803. Continue until the intersection of Hwy 803 and Hwy 930. Go straight through the intersection. You are now on Hwy 930. Continue ahead for about 1 mile. Look for a road sign for Mokuleia, and next to it, a small sign with an airplane. These signs point towards the underpass of a bridge; go under the bridge. You are still on Hwy 930 (Farrington Hwy), continue about another 5 miles to the airfield. Dillingham Airfield is a 2-mile-long airstrip, parallel to the highway, with a green chain-link perimeter fence-line. There are 3 entrances to the Airfield. Entrance #1 is for the skydive activities (and the interior service-road for the airfield). Entrance #2 is 1.5 miles further, and THAT is the Glider-port entrance. As you enter the glider-port parking lot, there is an open-sided shelter building straight-ahead. This is the reception area. Ask for The Original Glider Rides / Honolulu Soaring, and check in with “Mr. Bill”.
