About this tour

What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel in the Costa Adeje area or Los Cristianos (10am slot only). At the launch site, your instructor fits you into a harness, helmet, and all safety gear. The takeoff is gentle—you'll run a few steps before lifting off. Once aloft, thermal currents carry you higher as your pilot works the air, banking past ridges and over water. The flight lasts roughly two hours depending on conditions. You'll feel the altitude, the wind, and the scale of Tenerife spreading below. Landing is smooth, and you're driven back to your hotel.
Good to know
Bring photo ID. Dress in layers—it's cold at altitude—plus windproof jacket, trainers, hat, and sunglasses. Sunblock and water are wise. Passenger weight limit is 100 kg. Bad weather means rescheduling or cancellation at operator's discretion. If prone to motion sickness, consider medication beforehand.
