Soar high above the coastline with a luxury parasailing flight. Experience the thrill of flying while being towed behind a powerful boat, with panoramic views stretching all the way to the horizon. A bucket-list experience for those who want to see the sea from a completely different angle.
Up you go, and the noise just stops
One minute you are on the back of a speedboat, the next the line pays out and you are rising into the air with your feet dangling over the Atlantic. People expect a white knuckle ride. What they get is strangely peaceful. The engine fades below you, the breeze takes over, and the whole south coast of Tenerife spreads out under your feet, the beaches, the boats, the deep blue going on forever.
What happens on the flight
You take off and land straight from the boat, so you stay dry unless you ask them to dip your toes in the water, which they happily will. You can fly solo or strap in with a friend or two. It is gentle enough that the nerves settle within seconds, and it is over long before you want it to be.
Who it is for
Anyone curious about flying without the full on adrenaline of a jump. Couples love it, families with older kids love it, and it pairs perfectly with a faster hit like jet skiing or, if you want the real rush, a tandem paragliding flight.
Good to know
You do not need any experience. Wear swimwear in case of a splash landing, bring sunglasses with a strap, and have your camera ready, because the view is the whole point.
What's included
- Panoramic ocean views
- Tandem & solo flights
- No experience needed

Frequently asked questions
Is parasailing scary?
Most people find it far calmer than they expect. Once you are up it is smooth and quiet rather than a rush, which is why nervous first timers enjoy it.
Do I need experience?
None at all. The crew handle everything from the boat. You just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Will I get wet?
Only if you want to. Take off and landing are from the boat, but the crew can dip you into the sea at the end if you fancy it.
Can I fly with someone else?
Yes. You can usually fly in pairs or threes, which is reassuring for first timers and more fun with friends.
Is there a weight or age limit?
There are usually minimum age and weight guidelines for safety, and these vary by operator, so check when you book.
