A paragliding flight, step by step.
From the moment you book until your feet touch the sand. And the answers to what everyone asks before flying.
01You book your flight
Choose the flight, day and time in the calendar on the website, or message us on WhatsApp. Confirmation is instant.
02We pick you up
If you are staying in Costa Adeje, we collect you from your hotel and drive you to the take-off in our van.
03A short briefing
No experience needed. The instructor quickly explains what to do at take-off and landing.
04You fly
Up in the air, the pilot shows you the main sights of the island and looks for thermals to make the flight last longer.
05You land on the beach
Gently, on the sand of La Enramada, in La Caleta de Adeje. The landing spot may change with the weather.
06You take it home
Ask us about photos and video of your flight to share with family and friends.
This is how we take off: nobody jumps.
The paraglider is already laid open on the ground, behind you both.
A short run downhill together, following the instructor’s directions.
The wing rises, fills with air and gently starts to fly.
Every question answered.
I’d like to fly, but I’m scared
Don’t worry. Paragliding is a very calm flight, and at Kangaroo Tandem we take safety very seriously.
What about the jump?
We never jump off a cliff or a drop. We take off from a ramp with the wing already open: a run downhill and the paraglider gently starts to fly.
I’m afraid of heights. Can I fly?
Yes. Sitting down, with nothing close by to look at, paragliding doesn’t give you vertigo. It’s like looking out of a plane window — but, as we like to joke, with the window open.
Do I sit in front or behind?
The passenger sits in front, comfortably seated.
Is there a minimum or maximum weight?
Roughly between 25 and 110 kg. It can vary a little with the wind on the day and the instructor’s weight.
Could I get airsick?
Usually not. If you often get seasick or carsick, take a pill before getting into the minibus that takes us up the mountain.
Can I take my phone or camera?
Yes, if it’s not too bulky and is well secured. The instructor decides when he sees it: if it fell, it could hit someone or something.
Am I insured?
Yes, with liability insurance and accident insurance. We are an active tourism company authorised by the Government of the Canary Islands.
Is landing difficult?
No, it’s easy and smooth. Just like the take-off, the instructor explains it beforehand: all it takes is a short run.
Can we fly if it’s cloudy?
Yes. What matters for paragliding is the wind: with visibility and no rain, we fly. In the south of Tenerife the best conditions are often on cloudy days.
