Tandem Paragliding Over Tenerife with a Team of Champions

Soar above the Canary Islands and witness Tenerife's volcanic landscape from an altitude you will never forget.


Tandem paragliding in Tenerife offers one of the most accessible and breathtaking ways to experience the Canary Islands from above, guided by a certified team of professional champions with an outstanding safety record.

Tenerife's unique geography — shaped by the towering presence of Teide, Spain's highest peak — creates exceptionally stable thermal conditions that make it a world-class destination for paragliding throughout the entire year. Whether you choose a launch altitude of 800, 1000, or 2250 meters, the views across the South and North coasts are consistently remarkable.

Flying in tandem means you need no prior experience. A certified pilot handles all the technical aspects of the flight while you focus entirely on the sensation of free flight and the panoramic scenery unfolding beneath you.

This experience is classified as moderate in difficulty, making it suitable for most healthy adults who are comfortable with heights and open-air activity. The session lasts approximately one hour, encompassing briefing, gear preparation, launch, flight, and landing.

Welcome and Safety Briefing

Upon arrival at the designated meeting point, your pilot introduces the equipment and walks you through the complete safety procedure. This briefing ensures you understand body positioning, launch technique, and landing preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need previous paragliding experience to participate?
No prior experience is required. This is a tandem flight, meaning a fully certified and experienced pilot controls the glider throughout the entire flight. Your role is simply to enjoy the experience.
Which altitude option should I choose?
The 2250-meter option provides the longest airtime and the most expansive views, including a clear perspective of Teide National Park. The 800 and 1000-meter options are shorter experiences but still offer impressive coastal scenery. Your guide can advise based on weather conditions and personal comfort.
Can paragliding take place in all weather conditions?
Tenerife's climate is exceptionally stable and allows for year-round flying. However, if conditions on the day are deemed unsafe by the pilot team, the activity may be postponed or rescheduled for participant safety.
Is the activity suitable for people who are afraid of heights?
Many participants with a mild fear of heights find paragliding surprisingly comfortable once airborne, as the sensation differs significantly from standing at height. However, those with severe acrophobia should consider carefully before booking.
What happens if I need to cancel my booking?
Cancellation terms are defined at the time of booking. Weather-related cancellations initiated by the operator typically result in a reschedule or full refund. It is advisable to review the cancellation policy before confirming your reservation.
Are photographs or videos available during the flight?
Photo and video recording options may be available depending on the package selected. Confirm availability and any additional costs directly with the operator at the time of booking.
