Paragliding Tenerife FAQ
When it comes to adventure sports, we all know there are risks involved. Because of this, minimizing such risks is essential. The team of Tenerfly gives you the advantage of meeting all the requirements to fly safely: pilot attitude, competent instruction and safe equipment. Additionally, it is well known that the modern paraglider is a sophisticated aircraft that has been computer designed, flight-tested and certified to an international standard, which ensures that paragliders are very safe.
Technically, yes. However, like with every mountaineering sport, you can stumble and fall on the ground during the take-off and landing. So, it is advisable to wait until the end of your pregnancy to enjoy your flight to the fullest and make your experience absolutely carefree.
Tenerfly team uses an adjustable harness to cater for nearly every shape and size. They can easily cope with someone from 40 kg to 120 kg. If you are near or outside the extremes of these ranges, please let us know in advance and we will try to accommodate your size.
A passenger must be 14 years or older. Anyone under that age must be accompanied by an adult or have the form signed by a guardian.
Many people challenged with a disability can still enjoy the freedom of a tandem flight experience. Tenerfly team is keen to share their passion for flying with anyone who feels likewise. Please, let us know in advance what assistance you require to provide the service you need.
Wear shoes preferably with a closed toe to better protect your feet. Bring a jacket. Even if the day is hot, it is cooler when flying around in the sea breeze. On a cold day, it can be very chilly, so rug up. Wear mid-thigh shorts, long pants or tights, as you will be secured by harness straps that pass between your legs. Bring sunscreen, hat and water. Do not forget your swimmers and towel, since you will land close to the beach.
It is not common, but it can cause nausea. About 1 in every 50 people feel a little bit sick when flying but usually only if the pilot makes fast turns. Tenerfly staff minimises the possibility of you feeling sick by checking how you are feeling during the flight and before doing any fast turns. If you are not feeling well, the pilot will slow things down and will just cruise around to allow you to recover and enjoy. Either way, we recommend not eating two hours before paragliding to avoid feeling sick during the flight.

Arriving at the paragliding departure point, the instructor will give you some very simple instructions for taking off and landing, and help you put on the paragliding gear. - Once the wind passes under the parachute, your feet slowly rise off the ground and before you know it you are paragliding over Tenerife.

Paragliding in Tenerife
Paragliding in Tenerife is something you should definitely try. Although tourists visiting Tenerife often confuse it with the popular water sport parasailing which is done above the water with the help of a boat. In addition, there is a special term for paragliding when it is performed with 2 people at the same time. Which is the case of this experience since you will fly together with an instructor, an explanation of this can be found below.
Paragliding tandem Tenerife
Although the word tandem is often dropped, this experience is technically called a Tenerife paragliding tandem. This is because paragliding tandem is a form of paragliding where two people fly together, with one person (the pilot) piloting the paraglider and the passenger (you) sitting in a harness in front of the pilot. Tandem paragliding in Tenerife is a popular activity for people who want to experience the thrill of paragliding, but do not have the necessary skills or training to pilot a paraglider themselves. The passenger needs no special training or experience to participate in a tandem paragliding flight in Tenerife, as the pilot is responsible for all aspects of the flight. In short, a tandem paragliding flight in Tenerife can be a great way to get a taste of what it is like to fly a paraglider and can be a fun and exciting experience for both the pilot and the passenger. Club Canary only offers tandem paragliding flights, but uses the word “paragliding” in advertisements and the text below because it is more familiar to the wider public.
