Five practical tips from our pilots to enjoy your tandem paragliding flight in Tenerife: when to fly, what to bring and how to get the best photos.
Tenerife is one of the best places in Europe to paraglide: mild weather all year, mountains close to the sea and incredible views of the coast. These five tips will help you get the most out of your tandem flight.
1. Choose the right time
You can fly all year round. From October to April temperatures are milder; in summer the air is more stable and flights are smooth. If you want a longer flight using thermals, choose an Xtra flight.
2. Dress for the mountain, not the beach
Closed sports shoes are essential, and bring a light jacket: the take-off is between 800 and 1,100 m and it is cooler up there.
3. Protect yourself from the sun
The sun is strong in Tenerife. Put on sunscreen, wear sunglasses and bring a bottle of water.
4. Listen to your pilot at take-off
You don't need any experience, just to walk and run a few steps when your pilot says so. Follow the instructions and the rest is easy.
5. Keep the memory
Don't hold your phone during the flight. The photo & video pack (30 € when booking on our website) records your whole flight with a camera on the pilot's arm.
Bonus: trust the weather decision
Our pilots check the wind every day. If conditions are not safe, we move your flight or refund it — your safety comes first.
