Tandem Paragliding Flight in Costa Adeje from 1100m

About this tour

Strap in for a tandem paraglide above Costa Adeje, launching from 1100 metres and drifting across Tenerife's coastline for roughly two hours. You'll float rather than plummet—the pilot handles all the technical work while you soak in the Atlantic views and the peculiar calm that comes with altitude. Gear and transport are sorted. Works for most ages and fitness levels, though pregnancy and serious heart conditions rule you out.

What to expect

You'll be collected and driven to the launch point, where your pilot will rig you both into a single paraglide. After a brief safety chat, you'll run off a hillside—it feels less dramatic than it sounds—and suddenly you're airborne. The first few seconds are buzzy; then it becomes oddly meditative. You'll catch thermals, drift lazily, and spot the coast far below. The pilot controls everything; you're there to enjoy the view and the strange weightlessness. Landing is gentle. Expect a two-hour round trip including briefing and flights.

Good to know

Pregnancy and heart conditions are off-limits for safety reasons. Wear trainers with ankle support. Weather dependent—flights may be rescheduled. Public transport is available if you'd rather not use the private pickup. Bring sunscreen and sunglasses.
