Tenerife: Acro Paragliding Flight with Free Pickup & Expert Guide

Summary

Thrilling tandem flight over Costa Adeje with local pilots

You’ll feel your heart race as you soar over Costa Adeje with an expert local pilot guiding you through acro paragliding tricks and high-speed spirals. Includes free pickup from your hotel, all safety equipment, and calm encouragement from people who do this every day — leaving you with memories that stick long after your feet touch down.

What’s the experience like?

I almost missed the pickup because I couldn’t find my left sneaker — typical me. The driver from Overfly Tenerife just grinned when I finally jogged out, shoes mismatched but at least on my feet. He said it happens more often than you’d think. The van smelled faintly of sunscreen and nervous excitement (or maybe that was just me). We picked up two more people from Playa Paraiso, both quieter than I expected, but maybe we were all thinking about what was coming.

At the launch site above Costa Adeje, the wind was cooler than it looked — salty, with a bit of dust in the air. My instructor, Carlos, handed me a helmet and checked the harness twice. He had this way of explaining things that made it sound easy, even though he casually mentioned “G-forces” like it was no big deal. When we took off, there was this weird silence for a second before the wind roared in my ears and suddenly we were spinning through the sky. I could see tiny surfers down below and the sun flashing off hotel pools — everything felt sharp and unreal.

Carlos started doing these wild spirals and wingovers — honestly, I lost track of which way was up for a moment. He laughed when I yelled something unrepeatable (sorry, Mom). The G-forces pressed me back into the harness so hard my teeth rattled, but somehow it felt safe because Carlos kept talking calmly through his headset: “Ready? Now left!” I didn’t expect to enjoy that part as much as I did; it’s like your stomach drops but your brain lights up at the same time.

Landing was softer than I thought — just a few steps on warm sand near Las Americas. My legs were shaky but I couldn’t stop grinning. One of the other flyers hugged her pilot out of pure relief or joy or both. It’s funny how fast strangers become friends after something like that. Even now, every time I smell salt on hot pavement, I remember that first rush off the cliff edge.
