About this tour
Launch from Tenerife's southern slopes in a tandem paraglide that pairs you with an experienced pilot for two hours of controlled flight. You'll rise on thermals, drift above volcanic landscapes, and experience the peculiar mix of adrenaline and stillness that only skydiving rivals. The operation provides full kit, insurance, and transport; weather-dependent, but rebookable or refundable if conditions don't cooperate.

What to expect
After collection by air-conditioned transport, you'll reach the launch site where your pilot briefs you on body position and landing technique—straightforward stuff. The takeoff itself is a gentle trot downslope; within seconds you're airborne. You'll float silently, rising and sinking on invisible air currents, watching the island unfold below. Your pilot may execute gentle spirals or longer glides depending on conditions. The flight feels meditative punctuated by moments of real speed. Landing is controlled and soft. Budget two hours door-to-door.
