If you’ve ever dreamed of soaring above a striking landscape, this paratrike crossing in Tenerife might just be what you’re looking for. We haven’t tried it ourselves, but the glowing reviews and detailed descriptions make it clear this is a genuine, serious adventure that offers more than just a thrill—it’s a chance to see Tenerife from a completely different perspective.
What we really like about this experience is the extended flight time of 60 minutes, which is notably longer than many similar activities, giving you ample time to soak in the scenery and truly feel like you’re flying. Plus, the professional guides and focus on safety seem reassuring for anyone hesitant about flying. On the flip side, a potential consideration is the weather dependence—it’s subject to weather conditions, so your flight might be canceled if the conditions aren’t suitable.
This experience is well-suited for adventure enthusiasts, nature lovers, or anyone wanting a memorable highlight from their Tenerife trip. It’s also accessible for people with mobility needs (wheelchair accessible), but definitely not for those with very young children or pregnant women. If you’re after a safe, fun, and scenic way to see Tenerife, this could be a perfect fit.

What Is This Paratrike Crossing All About?

This isn’t your average sightseeing flight. It’s a roughly 60-minute paratrike adventure, taking you from the coast of Adeje to the famous Los Gigantes Cliffs. Imagine sitting comfortably in a motorized trike with a wing above you, feeling the wind and the sun as you glide over Tenerife’s stunning coastlines—sounds pretty spectacular, right?
The activity combines adrenaline with awe-inspiring scenery, offering a chance to see Tenerife’s rugged cliffs, lush coastlines, and sparkling sea from a vantage point most visitors don’t get to enjoy. According to the reviews, the views are truly breathtaking and the guides are knowledgeable, providing context and ensuring safety, which is key for such an adventure.

The Itinerary and How It Unfolds

Starting with a pickup from four different locations—Adeje, Playa Paraíso, Playa de las Américas, and Los Cristianos—you’re whisked away in a white Fiat Talento van for about 15 minutes to the launch point. This small detail is nice because it shows the tour organizers aim for convenience and flexibility, picking you up close to your accommodation.
Once there, you’re given a safety briefing and get ready for the flight. The actual flight lasts for about an hour, which is quite generous for this kind of activity. During this time, you’ll soar over the coast, enjoying unobstructed views of both the sea and the impressive Cliffs of Los Gigantes. It’s a chance to capture stunning photos and videos, though the tour advises against bringing cameras and cellphones along during the flight itself, which makes sense for safety.
After the flight, you’ll be transported back to your original pickup point, making for a smooth, hassle-free experience. The entire process—from pickup, the flight, to drop-off—can fit comfortably into a half-day, leaving you free to explore more of Tenerife afterward.
The Experience: What You’ll Feel and See

The sensation of flying like a bird is hard to beat. The guide described the flight as a mix of adventure, excitement, and the peacefulness of being in the sky. We loved how the review from Derek Ireland captures the atmosphere: “If I could give 10 stars I would, what a trip, very professional, the adrenaline is still pumping through the veins, the views were amazing and the pictures and videos are amazing.”
Expect to feel the wind on your face and experience a sense of freedom that’s hard to find elsewhere. The views are a highlight—seeing the coastline stretch, the cliffs rising sharply from the sea, and perhaps even spotting some marine life or distant beaches.
The guides are Spanish and English-speaking, adding a layer of comfort and clarity. They seem to know their stuff, providing interesting insights about Tenerife’s geography and natural features, which enhances the overall experience.
Practical Aspects and Considerations
The activity lasts about an hour, but plan for additional time for pickup and preparation. The cost is a factor to consider; while not specified here, the value is often reflected in the longer flight time and quality of guides. Given the rave reviews, many find it worth the price for an unforgettable experience.
What to bring? Pack your sunglasses, wear comfortable clothes, and sports shoes—nothing fancy needed. The guide recommends leaving your cameras and cellphones at home during the flight for safety reasons, which is understandable, but you can probably take photos before and after the flight.
Weather is key—if conditions aren’t suitable, your flight might be canceled, which can be disappointing but is a safety necessity. The activity is accessible for people with mobility needs (wheelchair accessible), but restricts participation for children under four, pregnant women, or those over 120 kg (264 lbs).
