Soar above the cliffs and coastline of Tenerife on a tandem paragliding flight with a national champion pilot. Launch from the mountains and glide over beaches, volcanic peaks, and turquoise sea. No experience needed, your pilot does all the work.
A few steps, and then you are flying
You run a few steps down a slope, the wing lifts, and the ground simply falls away beneath you. That is it. You are flying. Strapped safely in front of an expert pilot, you glide over the cliffs and coastline of Tenerife with nothing but air between you and the turquoise sea. It is quiet, it is smooth, and it is the closest most of us will ever get to being a bird.
What the flight is like
Your pilot handles the launch, the flight and the landing, so all you do is sit back and take it in. You soar over beaches, volcanic peaks and the deep blue Atlantic, with the whole island laid out below. Flights range from gentle cruises to more dynamic rides if you want a bit more, and many of the pilots here are national champions who fly these skies every day.
Who it is for
Anyone who has ever looked up and wondered. No experience is needed and the pilot does all the work, so it suits nervous first timers and thrill seekers alike. If you want the view without the height, try parasailing, or go bigger with a helicopter flight.
Good to know
Wear comfortable clothes and trainers you can run a few steps in, and bring a light layer as it is cooler up high. Flights depend on the wind, so a calm, clear day is ideal. Pilots often carry a camera so you get the photos to prove it.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any experience?
None. It is a tandem flight, so an experienced pilot controls everything. You just enjoy the view.
Is it safe?
Tandem paragliding with a qualified pilot is a well established, carefully run activity. Pilots check conditions and equipment before every flight and only fly when it is safe.
What do I do at take off?
Just run a few steps down the slope with your pilot until the wing lifts you. It happens quickly and the pilot guides you through it.
How long is a flight?
It varies with the package and conditions, from around ten or fifteen minutes up to longer flights. Your operator will tell you what to expect.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes, trainers you can run a couple of steps in, and a light layer, since it is cooler in the air than on the ground.
