Parasailing Tenerife: Thermal Currents over Adeje & Atlantic

You gain altitude on mountain thermals and fly over both land and open ocean in a single flight.

Parasail from Costa Adeje over the town of Adeje, its ravines and the Atlantic Ocean on Tenerife's PLUS flight: the most popular choice for first-time paragliders. The flight lasts around 25 minutes and takes advantage of thermal air currents to reach maximum altitude. Hotel pickup from Costa Adeje, Playa Paraíso and Playa Las Américas is included, along with liability and accident insurance. The entire activity runs 2 hours.

The experience

The PLUS flight is built around thermal currents that form in the mountains. The same air that lets you climb higher than a standard flight would reach. You'll launch from Costa Adeje and spend roughly 25 minutes in the air, first climbing over the town's mountains and ravines, then heading toward the coast to fly over the Atlantic before landing on Playa La Enramada. What you see depends on the day's thermals. If conditions don't support the PLUS route, you'll fly the STANDARD flight instead, or receive the photo and video report at no extra charge.

A minivan picks you up at your hotel in Costa Adeje, Playa Paraíso or Playa Las Américas and brings you back after landing. The whole experience, from pickup to touchdown, takes 2 hours. Both liability and accident insurance are included in the price, and the guide speaks English, Spanish, French or German depending on the group.

Is this one for you?You fly the paraglider yourself (not as a passenger watching someone else, but as the one controlling it), so this suits anyone who wants to actively experience the altitude and the view rather than observe it. The shared flight means you'll be in the air with a guide. If you prefer privacy, look for a private parasailing option elsewhere on the island.
