The Experience
The first thing I noticed was the salty breeze as we waited for our ride outside the hotel. Our guide—Miguel, I think—showed up right on time, chatting about the best wind conditions for flying that day. The drive up into the hills took maybe 30 minutes, winding past banana plantations and sleepy villages. You could feel the air getting cooler as we climbed higher.
At the launch spot, there was this quiet buzz of excitement. The crew handed out helmets and checked all the harnesses twice—no shortcuts here. I remember hearing a distant rooster crow from a farm below while they explained how takeoff works (it’s honestly easier than it looks). Suddenly, you’re running a few steps and then your feet aren’t touching ground anymore—you’re just gliding. The view over southern Tenerife is wild: you see tiny white houses, volcanic ridges, even surfers down at Playa de las Américas if you squint. My pilot pointed out Mount Teide in the distance and told me how he’s flown this route for years.
