About this tour
Launch from Tenerife's highest paragliding point at 2200 metres in Teide National Park and glide down towards Puerto de la Cruz, taking in volcanic peaks and coastline on a 25–35 minute descent. A van picks you up from town, drives an hour to the launch site, and retrieves you from the beach landing. You'll be harnessed with an experienced pilot the entire flight.
Highlights
- Launch from Spain's highest paragliding altitude
- Soar above Teide National Park's volcanic terrain
- Glide from mountain to sea in one flight
- Professional pilot guides your entire descent
- Full safety gear and transport included
What to expect
After collection from Puerto de la Cruz, you'll spend an hour driving uphill through changing landscapes to reach the launch zone. Once geared up with helmet, jacket, and gloves, you'll be clipped to your pilot and run off the mountainside into open air. The glide takes 25–35 minutes depending on thermals and wind; expect a mix of adrenaline and stillness as the island shrinks beneath you. You'll touch down on a beach, then return to town by van. The whole outing takes roughly three hours door-to-door.
Good to know
Weight limit is 95kg. Moderate fitness required; spinal injuries, pregnancy, and cardiovascular issues rule you out. Under-12s not permitted. Video recording costs extra. Public transport links exist nearby if you prefer independent travel to the launch site.
