Frequent questions

Clear answers about tandem paragliding in Tenerife, from safety and weight limits to take-off, landing, weather conditions and what to bring on the day.

What is tandem paragliding in Tenerife?

Tandem paragliding is a flight with a certified pilot and one passenger under the same wing. In Tenerife South, especially around Costa Adeje, you glide using wind and gentle thermals while comfortably seated in a harness, enjoying ocean and mountain views.

Who can fly tandem and are there weight limits?

Most people from around 6 years old can fly tandem, as long as they can run a few steps for take-off. We do not recommend paragliding for pregnant women or people with serious mobility issues.

For safety, the usual passenger weight limit is around 100 kg and we recommend a minimum of about 30 kg for children. The final decision always depends on wind conditions and equipment on the day.

Is tandem paragliding safe?

Yes. Tandem paragliding flights are operated with certified pilots, approved equipment and strict safety procedures. As part of the standard setup, every professional tandem flight includes an emergency reserve parachute.

You can find more details in our safety guides: Is paragliding safe in Tenerife? and Do paragliders wear parachutes?.

Where do we take off and where do we land?

Most of our flights take off from Taucho, in Adeje, at around 800 m above sea level. Our Ifonche flight takes off from Ifonche, at around 1,000 m, offering a different route through Tenerife’s mountain landscape.

Landing is carried out in authorised landing areas in Adeje. La Enramada Beach is possible when conditions allow, but it is not guaranteed for every flight. After booking, we confirm all the details for your flight by message.

How long does the whole paragliding activity take?

From meeting at the parking of Playa de La Enramada to the final landing, you should plan around 90 minutes in total. Depending on traffic, briefing and conditions, the experience can occasionally extend to about 2 hours.

What should I wear and what do I need to bring?

We recommend comfortable clothes, sports shoes you can run in, and a light jacket or windbreaker. In the air it can feel cooler than on the beach. Sunglasses are also a good idea.

We provide helmet and harness; you do not need any special technical equipment.

What happens if the weather is bad or I need to cancel?

If the weather isn’t suitable for a safe flight, we’ll reschedule your tandem paragliding experience or offer a full refund if we have to cancel.

If you need to cancel, you can usually do so free of charge up to 24 hours before your flight time; within 24 hours, cancellation fees may apply depending on your booking conditions.
