Experience breathtaking aerial views of Tenerife with a safe and professional tandem paragliding flight, including hotel pickup, photos, and expert pilots.
If you’re visiting Tenerife and craving an adventure that combines adrenaline with unforgettable scenery, a tandem paragliding flight might just be the highlight you’re looking for. This experience offers a bird’s-eye view of the island’s rugged coastlines and lush mountains without the crowds typically found at popular viewpoints. With certified pilots, safety gear, and the chance to purchase memorable photos, it’s a balanced mix of thrill and comfort.
What we particularly love about this tour is how smoothly everything runs — from hotel pickups to the knowledgeable guides. That said, a possible consideration is that, since weather conditions heavily influence the flight, your schedule might need flexibility. This experience suits those eager to tick off a bucket list item, whether you’re a thrill-seeker or simply want to see Tenerife from a new perspective in total safety.
Looking for more options in Tenerife? Here are some other experiences worth considering.
This tandem paragliding experience, priced at around $130.34 per person, is designed to maximize comfort and excitement. It lasts approximately 2 hours, providing enough time for initial pickup, briefing, the flight itself, and a smooth return. The core flight lasts about 15-20 minutes, but the total trip includes some logistical activities like transportation and safety checks.
The experience starts with hotel pickup in the south of Tenerife—covering areas such as Costa Adeje, Playa Las Americas, and Los Cristianos. This is a significant plus, as it removes the need to navigate or organize transport, especially in a busy holiday area. The vehicle used is air-conditioned, which adds a touch of comfort, especially after a morning or afternoon in the sun.
The actual takeoff points are either Taucho/Adeje (at 800 meters altitude) or Ifonche (at 1,000 meters), depending on weather conditions. This dynamic approach ensures optimal flight performance, although it can mean slight variability in the starting location. A seasoned pilot determines the best site on the day, balancing safety and scenic value.
Once airborne, you’ll enjoy 15-20 minutes of gliding over Tenerife’s dramatic landscapes. The pilots are experts — with over 25 years of flying experience — and are described as friendly, professional, and reassuring. Reviewers repeatedly highlight how calming and helpful guides like Enrique, Carlos (a 3-time world champion), and Ronald made the experience accessible for first-timers.
From the sky, the views are genuinely breathtaking. Expect to see the rugged coastlines, lush green valleys, and mountain peaks that stretch into the clouds. Several reviewers note that the flight offers vistas you wouldn’t typically experience from the ground, making it a special opportunity for photographers and lovers of natural beauty.
One traveler mentions the flight passing through clouds, revealing a side of Tenerife that’s often hidden from view. The mix of mountain, sea, and sky creates an ever-changing canvas that makes each flight unique.
Safety is a top priority. All equipment, including harnesses, helmets, kneepads, gloves, and emergency parachutes, are certified. The pilots are skilled at explaining procedures and responding to questions, which puts many nervous first-timers at ease. Reviewers like Alison and Yana praised the professionalism and friendliness of the guides, emphasizing how safe and relaxed they felt during their flights.
Capturing the moment is optional but highly recommended. The team uses GoPro cameras to record your flight, and you can buy the SD card afterward. Many visitors express how special it is to relive the experience through high-resolution images and footage — well worth the extra cost for those wanting a keepsake.
Because the flight relies on good weather, it’s essential to remain flexible. The pilots might suggest rescheduling if conditions aren’t favorable, which adds a layer of safety but also means your flight might not be on the exact day initially booked. Reviewers appreciate that the company offers full refunds if weather cancels the flight, and some mention how the team proactively communicates to find the best weather window.
This paragliding flight appeals to a wide range of travelers, especially those with little or no experience who want a safe yet exhilarating adventure. The minimum weight is 20 kg, maximum is 100 kg, and the maximum age is 75, making it accessible to many. People with reduced mobility are not suited for this activity, but otherwise, it’s a fantastic option for adventure seekers, nature lovers, and those keen on capturing spectacular aerial shots.
What makes this experience particularly compelling is the combination of professional guides, breathtaking scenery, and convenient logistics. Reviewers consistently mention how the team’s friendliness and expertise helped dispel nerves and foster a sense of trust. One reviewer, Mike, described feeling “very safe and secure” despite his initial fear of heights, which speaks volumes about how well the guides handle first-time flyers.
The scenery is another major highlight. From coastlines dotted with resorts to mountain peaks shrouded in clouds, every flight is visually rewarding. The fact that the takeoff points are carefully chosen based on weather means a more enjoyable flight with fewer surprises.
On top of that, the value for money is quite notable. For around $130, including transportation, safety gear, and the chance to fly high above Tenerife, it’s an experience that rivals many more expensive excursions. The ability to purchase photos and videos further enhances the value, giving you a tangible memento of your adventure.
The main consideration is weather dependence. Your scheduled flight may need to be rescheduled if conditions aren’t perfect, which can be inconvenient but ultimately safer. It’s worth being flexible with your plans on the day, and many reviewers appreciated how the team kept communication open. Plus, the activity isn’t suitable for those with mobility issues, so it’s important to check your eligibility beforehand.
If you’re after a thrilling yet safe adventure that offers a distinct perspective on Tenerife’s landscapes, this tandem paragliding flight is hard to beat. It’s ideal for first-timers and seasoned thrill-seekers alike, especially if you value professionalism, safety, and excellent scenery. The inclusion of hotel pickup and optional photos makes it a hassle-free and memorable experience.
Travelers who enjoy breathtaking vistas, gentle adrenaline, and expert guides will find this tour offers excellent value. While weather can influence the exact timing, the team’s flexibility and high safety standards ensure you’ll leave with plenty of fantastic memories — and perhaps a new love for flying.
