Tandem paragliding is the quietest thrill in Tenerife: you run a few steps off a 700 m launch above Adeje and glide down over ravines, banana plantations and the ocean with a certified pilot behind you doing all the work. Flights last 20–40 minutes depending on thermals, and most landings are on or near the beach. The price differences reflect flight time and extras like photos and video. Weight limits (roughly 20–110 kg) apply for safety. We match you with a licensed tandem operator and you pay them directly after you land.

Who it's for (and who it isn't)
First-timers — the vast majority of tandem passengers have never flown before — and anyone celebrating something. There is no jumping off a cliff edge: launches are gentle slopes. Weight limits apply (roughly 20–110 kg depending on the operator and wind). If you get severe motion sickness, mention it — the pilot can keep the flight smooth.
Honest tips before you book
- The longer thermal flight is worth the extra €20–40 if the day looks soarable — ask on the morning of your flight.
- Mornings are usually smoother; afternoons can be stronger and longer.
- Wear trainers and a light jacket — it is cooler at 700 m.
- Flights are weather-dependent by nature; if conditions are unsafe, the operator reschedules free of charge.
