‹
Tenerife Tandem Paragliding: 1,000m Flight & Thermal Currents★★★★★★★★★★ 4.98 (259)2hYou're picked up from your hotel in the Costa Adeje area, driven to the takeoff point, fitted with safety gear, and launched into thermal currents at up to 1,000 meters. The 25–30 minute flight includes views of Barranco del Infierno and the southern coast, with your instructor handling the glide while you sit back. Transport back to your meeting point is included, so you only need to show up with photo ID and dress warm.Is it for me?Right for anyone in reasonable health who wants the adrenaline of altitude without needing to learn paragliding first — the fixed pickup time and included transport mean you show up ready to fly, not ready to navigate the island.Free cancellationfrom€ 130View ›

‹
Paragliding Tenerife: Premium Flight with Photos & Video★★★★★★★★★★ 4.97 (86)2hParagliding in Tenerife is a tandem flight where you choose how much adrenaline you want, led by a team trained by World Champion Daniel Crespo. The experience runs about two hours from pickup through landing, with a multilingual guide building confidence on the ground before takeoff. All photos, video, equipment and pickup from Adeje or Costa Adeje are included in the final price.Is it for me?Choose the standard paragliding flight if you want a complete experience with photos and video included at a transparent price; add the professionally edited video or Insta360 service at checkout if you want polished content ready to share immediately after landing. The experience suits anyone in reasonable health who wants to fly tandem—not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, cardiovascular concerns, pregnancy, or over 110 kg in weight.Free cancellationfrom€ 160View ›

Parasailing in Tenerife: Acro Paragliding with Aerial Tricks★★★★★★★★★★ 4.98 (52)2hAcro paragliding in Tenerife is a tandem flight where an experienced pilot performs aerial tricks—wingovers, deep spirals and high-G maneuvers—while you're strapped in, descending at speeds up to 10 m/s. The flight lasts 15–20 minutes of pure adrenaline. Hotel pickup from Costa Adeje is included, along with all safety equipment, harness, helmet and liability insurance. No experience is required; children from age 6 can fly with a guardian.Is it for me?Book this if you want the adrenaline rush of aerial tricks and G-forces rather than a calm sightseeing flight, and you're comfortable with intensity—acro paragliding is built for thrill-seekers, not for a gentle introduction to the sport.Free cancellationfrom€ 145View ›
