Tenerife: Tandem Paragliding with Champion Pilots & GoPro

Paragliding Over Tenerife with Spain's Champion Pilots

You're picked up by vehicle, geared up with helmet and harness, briefed on safety and takeoff, then flown for 15–25 minutes with a Spanish champion pilot who reads the conditions and flies with intention. You get five GoPro photos, water, and all equipment included, so there's nothing else to arrange or pay for on the day.

The experience

The pilot is already checking the harness before you arrive at the takeoff area. You'll get a welcome briefing on the ground, then a full safety rundown once you're suited up (helmet, paragliding gear, the whole setup included), and then it's time to step to the edge. The flight lasts between 15 to 25 minutes, and it's not a passive ride. You're strapped in tandem with a pilot who's competed at the national level, someone who knows how to read the air and make the most of whatever conditions the day offers.

These aren't casual weekend flyers. The team has more than 25 years of experience across Tenerife and Spain, with credentials that include Spanish and 2016 Paragliding Champions and a 2018 Spanish Paragliding Champion on the roster. That pedigree shows in how they handle the flight. There are sporting moments, relaxing stretches, and genuine adrenaline, all mixed into one experience. The pilot will explain everything about the takeoff and flight process before you launch, so you know what's coming.

An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up and brings you to the site, which saves you the hassle of navigating to the takeoff area yourself. You'll get five GoPro photos as a keepsake, bottled water to stay hydrated, and all the equipment you need for a two-seater tandem paragliding flight. The whole thing is built around safety and quality. The pilots are reliable and passionate, which means they're invested in making your flight the best it can be, not just getting you in the air and back down.
