Parascending Tenerife

Parascending, also known as parasailing, is a classic water sport activity. Parasailing in is to this day one of the most popular water sports in Tenerife. The reason why Parascending in Tenerife is so popular is because it can be done all year round. Club Canary organizes daily parasailing trips for tourists and it is mainly popular among families with children and friend groups.

Parascending from Puerto Colón

The Tenerife Parascending departs from the port of Puerto Colon. After meeting your guide at the mentioned harbor site, you will be given a life jacket and allowed to take a seat on board the zodiac. Once all the participants are seated in the Parascending boat, a short introduction about parasailing will be given and then the boat departs. Depending on the size of the group, you can choose to go parasailing with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 people at the same time.

How does parasailing works

When it is your turn to parasail, the guide on the back of the boat will call you and give you instructions. At that point, you must stand on a flat platform and you will be safely attached to the large kite. Once everything is arranged, you are ready to take off and can stand in a sitting position. The guide will then gently raise the kite and will pull you up into the air little by little.

Tenerife parasailing experience

The flying in the air takes place near the coastline of Costa Adeje and Las Américas. Once in the air, you can enjoy the parascending experience and admire the beautiful scenery of Tenerife. The whole Tenerife parasailing adventure, from the boat departure to the return to the harbour, lasts about 40 minutes. But you will only be in the air for a good 10 minutes. Being 10 minutes in the air sounds like a very short time, but it is certainly enough to enjoy the Parascending. The landing is done carefully on the boat and it is supervised by a trained guide. It is possible to touch the water with your feet during the landing. Your tour guide will give you further information regarding this alternative.

Parasailing vs paragliding

Many tourists confuse parasailing and paragliding. To easily distinguish between them, parasailing involves a type of parachute attached to a boat. During a paragliding flight you are not attached to anything, it is like parachute jump but without free fall, you start at a high point and go down slowly. Paragliding in Tenerife is also very popular, it is a bit more daring than parasailing but don’t worry you are flying with a professional instructor.
