Standing at the lip of the Adeje escarpment, the Atlantic pulls at your chest as the pilot clips the harness and the wind “invites” you forward. A short run and the slope gives way; suddenly you’re suspended above terraced cliffs, black volcanic ridges and the white ribbon of Costa Adeje below.

Standing at the lip of the Adeje escarpment, the Atlantic pulls at your chest as the pilot clips the harness and the wind “invites” you forward. A short run and the slope gives way; suddenly you’re suspended above terraced cliffs, black volcanic ridges and the white ribbon of Costa Adeje below.
Tenerife’s landscape is volcanic—lava flows and eroded basalt cliffs carved by wind and sea—and the island’s skies have been used for recreation since the 1980s as pilots learned to find the strong coastal thermals. The local culture mixes Canarian hospitality with a practical approach to adventure tourism: expect clear safety briefings, professional gear and an easygoing afterflight debrief where photos are handed over.
The experience starts at a meeting point in Costa Adeje, followed by a short drive into the upper Adeje mountains. No previous flying experience is required; you’ll be briefed, fitted with homologated tandem equipment and guided through takeoff commands. Typical flight time is 25–40 minutes depending on conditions; pilots offer either longer, gentler glides or high-adrenaline aerobatic maneuvers on request. Landings are low-key—follow the pilot’s cues and walk off the landing zone.
Practical notes: adhere to the 30–100 kg weight limit, bring sturdy shoes and a windproof layer, and plan morning flights for the most stable air. Operators will reschedule or refund in unsafe weather. For anyone drawn to height and speed, this tandem flight pairs serious safety with loud moments of joy and birds-eye clarity of Tenerife’s southern coast.
Flight time is usually around 25–40 minutes; the full activity including transport and briefing takes about two hours.
Yes—participants must weigh between 30 and 100 kg; the experience is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious back or heart conditions.
