Shoes, clothes, sunglasses and what to leave at home: the simple packing list for your tandem paragliding flight in Tenerife.
You don't need special gear: we provide the harness, helmet and all the flying equipment. But the right clothes make the flight much more comfortable.
Shoes: the most important thing
Wear closed sports shoes or trainers with good grip. At the take-off you walk and run a few steps on the mountain, so flip-flops, sandals and heels are not allowed.
Clothes
Comfortable trousers or shorts that let you move. It is cooler at the take-off (800 m in Taucho, 1,100 m in Ifonche) than on the beach, especially in winter and in the morning, so bring a light jacket or windbreaker you can wear during the flight.
Sunglasses and sunscreen
Sunglasses make the views over the coast much more enjoyable and protect your eyes from the wind. The sun in Tenerife is strong all year: apply sunscreen before you come.
What to leave at home
- Loose hats and caps (they fly away).
- Bags you would need to hold.
- Your phone in your hand: it can fall. Put it in a zipped pocket — or let us record you with the photo & video pack (30 € when you book on our website).
Eat normally
Have a light, normal meal before the flight. Flying on an empty stomach or right after a big lunch is not a good idea.
