Premium Paragliding in Tenerife : Photos, videos and pickup included
Floating over Tenerife feels like magic.
This premium tandem flight pairs professional pilots like Felix and Daniel with a 50+ photo and 5 video clips report, but wind can shift departure times. You get that jaw-drop moment when your feet leave the ground, and you’re up gliding with Tenerife’s Teide in the distance and the coast far below. One more practical note: the experience is not recommended for people over 110 kg, so check that before you get excited.
On the ground, it starts with good vibes: smiles, music, and an organized lead-up as you ascend to the takeoff point. Then comes the quiet part—paragliding can feel shockingly serene once you’re airborne. If you like personal attention, you’ll also appreciate the small group size, capped at 4 travelers.
You’ll fly over several iconic south-coast areas—Costa Adeje, Playa Paraíso, Callao Salvaje, and Playa de las Américas—and the team handles the full setup with the right harnesses and equipment for the two-seater flight. If you’re the type who hates waiting, just remember schedules can move with the weather, and in one example the timing slipped by about an hour and even later due to wind.

What You Get For $193: The Value That Matters

At $193.09 per person for a roughly 2-hour experience, you’re not just buying a jump and a ticket. You’re buying a complete package: equipment, a tandem flight setup, and a solid take-home memory kit.
Here’s where the value is real:
- Photo and video included: a full GoPro report with more than 50 photos and 5 video clips of your best moments.
- Comfort extras: an air-conditioned vehicle for pickup, plus bottled water.
- Safety-forward operation: you’re flying with pilots who are clearly used to making people feel secure—especially helpful if it’s your first time.
- Small group: maximum 4 travelers, which usually means less chaos and more time for pre-flight questions.
Then there are optional add-ons if you want extra social-media polish: an Insta360-style video service for €80 per person and a professionally edited 3–6 minute video for €60 per person. If your budget is tight, you can still walk away with plenty included.

Why the Takeoff Feels So Special (Even If You’re Nervous)

The best part isn’t only the view. It’s the transition.
You go from stepping on land to floating in the air, and that moment tends to surprise people—even the ones who think they’re tough. One reason it works well is the rhythm of the experience: you ascend to takeoff with the crew, then the pilots guide you through what to do. The whole setup is built around the two-seater format, so you’re not trying to learn anything mid-air.
In the sky, you’ll get two things at once:
- Scenery with Teide in the background and the coast below
- A breeze-on-your-face feel without the noise and stress that some people expect
And yes, landing still matters. Expect the pilot to explain how it will go and what to do as you approach the beach area.
Pickup, Meeting Point, and How You’ll Spend the Ground Time

This is one of those activities where logistics make or break the day. The good news: you’re not stuck figuring out local transport.
Meeting point is Sky of Tenerife – Sky & Dany S.L (General la Caleta 06, Centro comercial, Tu Trebol, Local 6, 38670 Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain). The activity ends back at the meeting point.
Pickup coverage includes the Adeje and Costa Adeje area, plus Playa Paraíso, Callao Salvaje, Alcalá, and Playa San Juan. There’s a specific note that Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos only pick up in the morning for the 10:00 and 12:00 flights.
What to plan for:
- The overall experience is about 2 hours, but wind can stretch the timeline.
- Expect a clear rundown before flying and an organized approach once you’re near landing.
A small heads-up from real-world timing examples: a flight can be delayed by an hour or even later when wind conditions require a change. If you have dinner reservations right after, give yourself breathing room.
Costa Adeje: Where the Adventure Starts

Costa Adeje is your “warm-up” zone. This is where pickup tends to begin and where the crew gets you ready for the lift-off process.
What makes this part worth it:
- You’re in an organized setup rather than wandering around trying to find the right launch point.
- The air-conditioned ride helps you arrive calm, not overheated and frazzled.
- The vibe is upbeat—music and smiles while you get to the takeoff area.
If you’re sensitive to heat or you’re traveling with family members, this early comfort matters more than you’d think.
Playa Paraíso: The Glide Feels Like It’s Slower Than It Should

Playa Paraíso is where the flight vibe often turns from exciting to downright unreal. The whole experience is built around that “floating” feel, and this stretch is typically the calm, scenic side of the flight.
You’ll likely notice the change in how time feels once you’re stabilized in the air:
- You stop thinking about steps and start watching the coastline.
- The breeze becomes part of the experience instead of an obstacle.
- With Teide in the background, it’s easier to orient yourself and enjoy the scale of Tenerife.
This is also a great area for couples. It’s romantic without being cheesy—just two people up there, with ocean down below and the island stretching out around you.
A few more Tenerife trips to weigh up before you book
Callao Salvaje: When Views Mix With Landing Prep

Callao Salvaje adds contrast. You get a mix of dramatic coastline feel and that practical, “we’re getting closer to landing” energy.
This part of the experience tends to be where the crew’s instructions really pay off:
- As you near the landing area, the pilot explains what to do.
- You’re guided through the approach, and you’ll feel that confidence building right up to touchdown.
One of the most reassuring moments is watching how smoothly the crew handles the approach. If you’re anxious about landing, pay attention here—this is where good guidance turns worry into trust.
Playa de las Américas: A Clean Finish Back on Earth

Playa de las Américas is the natural end point for many south-coast flights. The landing area brings you back to earth in a way that feels controlled, not chaotic.
You’ll get the satisfaction of finishing in a place with an easy visual “anchor” (beach setting) rather than feeling like you landed somewhere random. And because the operation is designed around tandem flights, the pilot does the heavy work—your job is mostly to stay relaxed and follow directions.
If you’re traveling with friends, this is also a strong “group brag” moment. Everyone ends with the same look: stunned, smiling, and already asking when they can fly again.
Pilots You Can Trust: Felix and Daniel in Particular

One of the biggest strengths here is pilot professionalism. Names like Felix and Daniel come up in standout ways, and the theme is consistent: you feel safe because the briefing and handling feel confident.
Look for what you can actually observe right before flight:
- clear explanations
- calm body language from the pilot
- equipment set up that looks precise and practiced
Even if you’re nervous, a pilot who can communicate clearly helps you relax fast. And when you’re up there, that translates directly into enjoying the views rather than monitoring every sensation.
The Included Photo/Video Report: Your Money’s Best Use

The included GoPro-style report (more than 50 photos and 5 video clips) is a big deal because it solves the real problem paragliding creates: you’re usually too busy experiencing the moment to stop and take your own photos well.
With the included package, you get:
- enough photos to pick favorites
- video clips that capture the action without requiring you to manage a camera while airborne
- a fast, ready-made memory set
If you’re deciding between upgrades, think like this:
- If you want a great Instagram-sized recap, the €80 Insta360-style add-on might be worth it.
- If you want one shareable, polished story video, the edited 3–6 minute option at €60 is a better choice.
But don’t feel pressured. The included set already gives you plenty to relive the flight.
The Stunt Option: Fun, but Not Guaranteed
“Stunt included” is one of those phrases that can sound tempting. The key detail is how it’s handled: if there’s enough height, they’ll offer a session adapted to your taste.
So, treat it as a bonus possibility rather than a guarantee. If you’re hoping for big maneuvers, the weather and wind conditions will decide what’s safe and feasible on the day. Still, even when it’s toned down, pilots can often add just enough extra excitement to make the flight feel special.
Size, Comfort, and Weight: Know the Real Limit
There’s a clear weight guidance: not recommended for people with more than 110 kg. That isn’t a “nice-to-have” detail—it’s central to whether the tandem setup is appropriate and safe.
Also consider your comfort with harness positioning. You’re strapped in with the tandem equipment, so wear clothing that feels manageable and secure. If you’re traveling with kids or grandparents, ask yourselves: is everyone comfortable following instructions and staying calm during setup?
The small group size (max 4) helps here because the crew can give attention to each person.
Weather and Timing: This Isn’t a Set-It-and-Forget-It Ticket
Paragliding depends on good weather. If the day can’t support a flight due to weather, you’ll be offered another date or a full refund. That’s exactly what you want from an operator—no messing around with risky conditions just to hit the schedule.
Timing can also shift due to wind conditions. That’s not a failure of planning; it’s how flight safety works. One of the clearest reminders from timing experiences is to avoid locking yourself into tight plans right before or after the flight.
Price vs Other Options: When This One Is a Smart Pick
Some paragliding offers cheap pricing by trimming the extras. This one leans the other way: it includes the core equipment, pickup, bottled water, and a strong photo/video report.
So the comparison isn’t just ticket price. It’s the total value of what you walk away with:
- included memory package (photos + clips)
- air-conditioned pickup in multiple south-coast areas
- small group size
- the chance of a stunt session if conditions allow
If you’re the kind of traveler who wants fewer emails and fewer decisions, this package style is appealing. You show up, get guided, fly, and leave with content you can actually use.
Should You Book This Paragliding Flight?
Book it if:
- you want a tandem flight with serious emphasis on professional piloting
- you care about getting photos and video without worrying about capturing them yourself
- you like the south coast of Tenerife and want Teide plus ocean views in one shot
- you’re traveling as a couple, family, or small group and value small-group attention
Consider skipping or rethinking if:
- you’re over 110 kg (since it’s not recommended)
- you can’t handle schedule changes due to wind and weather
- you’re only interested in a short, low-cost activity and don’t care about the included media
If you want one “high point” moment that’s emotional, scenic, and surprisingly serene once you’re airborne, this is the kind of booking that earns its place on your Tenerife trip.
