What a tandem flight is like

You fly strapped to a qualified pilot who handles the take-off, the flight and the landing. You take a few steps into the wind and sit down: no previous experience and no particular fitness needed.

Before taking off there is a full briefing with the gear on the ground — harness, posture, how to run at take-off, how to land — plus the day's wind report, unhurried and with time for questions.

How long it lasts and what it costs

In Lanzarote you pick the flight by length: 20 minutes from 90 €, 30 for 120 €, 45 for 140 € and 60 minutes with photos and video included for 220 €. You glide over the cliffs, the black sand beaches and the Atlantic, and with the right wind direction you get close to La Graciosa or the Mirador del Río.

In Tenerife there is a pack pairing the tandem flight with a 2-hour kayak route for 140 € per person, and the two halves can be done on the same day or split across two.

Here the wind decides

This is the one family in the catalog where the meeting point is not known days ahead: the take-off area is chosen according to the wind direction and confirmed before the outing.

In exchange, the coast does not depend on the summer thermals mountain flights need — the trade winds and the cliffs give constant lift, so the flight is smooth and scenic in winter too. That is why these flights are booked on request: the amount is held on your card and only charged once the centre confirms the day and time.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need experience or to be fit?

No. The flight is tandem: the qualified pilot handles take-off, flight and landing, and you just take a few steps into the wind before sitting into the harness.

What if the wind is not right?

That is normal in paragliding, which is why these flights are booked on request: the amount is held on your card and only charged once the centre confirms the day and time. The take-off area is chosen according to the wind direction and confirmed before the outing.

How long is the flight?

You choose when booking: 20 to 60 minutes in the air, from 90 €. Counting the ground briefing and the transfer up to the take-off area, allow a couple of hours in total.
