Questions and answers
If your question is not here, message Luka. He answers himself.
Before you book
Do I need any experience?
No. The pilot flies; you sit, look and enjoy. You only need to take a few running steps at launch and keep your legs up at landing, and we practise both before.
Is tandem paragliding safe?
Flying with a certified pilot, certified tandem equipment and a reserve parachute, in the right weather, is a very controlled activity. The biggest safety tool is saying no to bad conditions, which we do.
What are the weight limits?
Passengers between 25 and 110 kg. If you are close to the limits, tell us your weight when booking so we can plan the launch and the wing.
What is the minimum age?
From 6 years old. Under 18 needs a parent or guardian present to sign the consent.
Can I fly if I am pregnant or have a medical condition?
Not during pregnancy. Serious back, neck or heart conditions are also a no. If you are unsure, ask, and ask your doctor.
Can I fly if I am afraid of heights?
Most people who are afraid of heights are fine in a paraglider: there is no edge, no ladder, nothing under your feet to look down from. The take-off is a gentle lift, not a jump.
The flight
How long is the flight?
The Classic Flight is 15–25 minutes in the air, depending on conditions. The whole experience, from meeting to landing, takes 1.5–2 hours. The High Flight is longer and takes 3–4 hours in total.
Where do we take off and land?
Classic Flights launch from Taucho (~800 m) or Ifonche (~1,000 m) above Adeje and land at La Caleta by the sea. The High Flight launches near Izaña (~2,200 m), below Teide.
Can I choose a calm flight or an exciting one?
Yes. Say what you want. Calm gliding is the default; if you want turns and spirals we can add them at the end, as much as you like.
Can I take my phone or camera?
Not in your hands. Anything you drop is gone and could hit someone. Add the video package and you get GoPro and 360° footage of the whole flight instead.
What should I wear?
Closed shoes, long trousers, a light jacket (it is cooler at the launch) and sunglasses. We provide the harness and helmet.
Can my friends or family watch?
Yes. They can come up to the launch in the shuttle if there is space, or wait at the landing field at La Caleta.
Booking, weather, payment
How do I book?
Send a request through the booking page or on WhatsApp with your dates, number of people and weights. Luka replies personally with the best slot. No payment online.
When is the best time of day?
Morning and late afternoon usually have the smoothest air and the best light. Midday can be stronger. Tell us your preference and we suggest the best slot for the forecast.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We decide the evening before or on the morning. If we cancel, you choose a new slot or a full refund. Weather cancellations never cost you anything.
Can I cancel?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the flight. Later than that, we ask for the flight price unless we can fill the slot.
How do I pay?
On the day, in cash or by card. Online deposits are coming soon.
Do you pick up from hotels?
Yes, for +€10 per person in Costa Adeje, Las Américas and Los Cristianos. Other areas on request.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes. Request one on the gift voucher page and we send a personalised PDF voucher by email, valid 12 months.
Which languages do you speak?
English, Russian, German, Spanish and Slovenian. The pilot speaks Russian himself.
