Paragliding in Costa Adeje

About this experience

Soaring above the rugged cliffs of Costa Adeje offers a perspective few travelers experience. This paragliding adventure launches from Mount Teide's foothills, catching thermals that carry you over the shimmering Atlantic. The coastline unfolds like a map of volcanic black sand and turquoise coves. Tandem flights with local pilots ensure safety while you focus on the sheer freedom of flight. Costa Adeje is the perfect launch point for this aerial journey. The steady trade winds create ideal conditions for extended flights, often lasting 20 to 30 minutes. You'll drift past the dramatic Barranco del Infierno gorge and the glittering resorts below. The descent brings you gently down to a beach landing, where the warm sea breeze greets you. This is not a tourist trap but a genuine connection with Tenerife's wild beauty. Local instructors share stories of the island's volcanic origins as you glide. The experience suits first-timers and seasoned flyers alike, with minimal walking required to reach the launch site. Each flight feels intimate, with only you, the pilot, and the vast sky above Costa Adeje. After landing, the memory of floating over the ocean lingers. Many guests describe it as the highlight of their Tenerife trip. The activity runs year-round, with morning flights offering the calmest winds. Bookings include all gear and transport from meeting points in Costa Adeje. It's a rare chance to see the island from a bird's view.
