Experience The Thrill Of Paragliding In Tenerife
Paragliding in Tenerife happens over land with a certified pilot, and when you fly with two people it is called a tandem flight. It is not the same as Tenerife parasailing, a water sport people often confuse it with. With tandem paragliding you just show up, get briefed, and enjoy the flight. It is a safe, fun way to fly, made for first-timers, couples, and anyone who wants a real thrill without overthinking it.
Your Paragliding Guide
Booking your paragliding in Tenerife is simple with Club Canary. We work with one of the most experienced local paragliding teams on the island, with pilots certified by FELA and FAE, so you get the right mix of excitement and safety. Whether you fly above Costa Adeje or from a different launch area, you are in professional hands from take-off to landing. If you are wondering "is paragliding in Tenerife safe?", this is exactly why people trust this team.
Choose Your Tenerife Paragliding Flight
Tenerife is one of the leading places in Europe for paragliding, thanks to the volcanic landscape and steady flying conditions most of the year. Club Canary offers three flights, so you can pick the one that fits your budget and airtime.
Take off from around 800 metres for a 15 to 20 minute flight, mostly over the town of Adeje, flying from Taucho toward Playa de La Enramada. A great choice for beginners trying tandem paragliding for the first time. The route can change with the weather.
Start from around 1000 metres in Ifonche and glide for 20 to 30 minutes over Costa Adeje and Adeje, landing at Playa de La Enramada. If conditions are better, take-off may move to Taucho. Either way, your pilot focuses on the most flight time possible.
Take off from around 2250 metres and fly for 30 to 60 minutes with huge views near Teide. This flight is very weather-dependent, so booking early in your holiday is smart. The landing area can change with conditions.
The Landing Site
The weather can affect the exact landing spot, but most Costa Adeje flights finish at Playa de la Enramada in La Caleta, close to Costa Adeje. After landing, relax with a drink nearby and relive the flight like you are the main character. The exact meeting and landing pins are on your e-ticket.
