Gran Canaria Paragliding, Quick Facts
Paragliding Gran Canaria Tandem Flights Over The Island
See Gran Canaria from the sky on a tandem paragliding flight. You fly strapped in beside a certified pilot who does all the work, so no experience is needed, you just relax and take in the view. It is a short, high flight, usually around 14 minutes, over the coast and the dunes, with free photos included. Nothing to carry, nothing to learn, just the island spread out below you.
Reserve online with a small deposit and pay the rest on the day. You get free photos and a selfie stick, a certified multilingual pilot, and the Best Price Guarantee. We are also honest with you: paragliding depends on the wind, so flights can be moved or cancelled if conditions are not safe, and our policy below explains exactly what happens if they are. Club Canary is an official ticket seller, the flight is run by a licensed local operator.
From 80€ per person, reserved with a small deposit, the rest paid on the day. Groups of 4 or more save 10€ off the total, 7 or more save 20€.
Strapped in, feet off the ground, and Gran Canaria spread out below you.
Paragliding In Gran Canaria
Tandem paragliding means flying with a professional pilot who controls the paraglider while you sit back and enjoy it. There is no training, no running off a cliff on your own, and no experience needed. You are clipped in beside the pilot, you lift off together, and for a few minutes you glide high above Gran Canaria's coast and dunes with nothing but air beneath you. It is one of the simplest ways to get a real flying experience.
Is It Worth It?
If the wind is right, it is a lovely few minutes and the views are the whole point. Be realistic though: the flight itself is short, around 14 minutes, and it depends fully on the weather. If you want a longer or guaranteed-day activity, a buggy, jet ski or boat trip is a safer bet, and we are happy to point you that way. If you just want that feeling of flying, this is it.
How Tandem Paragliding Works
- 1Book Your Date
Choose your date with Club Canary and wait for confirmation. Booking within 5 days? Message us on live chat so we can check availability and the weather.
- 2Talk To Your Guide
Once confirmed, your guide contacts you about the meeting point, which is set by the wind on the day.
- 3Meet And Prepare
You meet your pilot at the agreed spot, head to the takeoff point, and get fitted with your harness and helmet.
- 4The Flight
You lift off together and fly for about 14 minutes, with panoramic views over Gran Canaria.
- 5Landing
You come down gently at a landing spot, usually close to the takeoff point.
- 6All Done
Say goodbye to your pilot and head off. If you drove, parking is near the landing spot. If you need a taxi, your guide can arrange one.
The Meeting Point, Set By The Wind
There is no fixed meeting point for paragliding in Gran Canaria, because the takeoff spot depends on where the wind conditions are right that day. This is normal for paragliding everywhere. After you book, your pilot sends you the exact meeting point and time, usually by WhatsApp, often the day before or the morning of your flight. Add your hotel name or address in the order notes so the guide knows where you are coming from. Having your own car makes the day easier, and if you need a taxi, the guide can help arrange one. You arrange your own transport to the start point.

Club Canary's Honest Take
Real talk from your local team in the Canary Islands
Paragliding is a bucket-list feeling, floating high over Gran Canaria with a pilot doing all the work is a genuine thrill, and the free photos are a nice touch. If the wind is right, it is a brilliant few minutes.
But we will be straight with you, because that is how we work. The flight is short, around 14 minutes, and it depends completely on the weather, so it can be moved or cancelled at short notice. That is also why the deposit terms are strict. If you want something that runs on a fixed day, a buggy, parasailing or a boat trip is the safer choice, and we are happy to point you there.
If you just want that feeling of flying and you are flexible with the weather, book it, it is worth it.
