Second, the flight duration of approximately 40 minutes, giving you ample time to soak in the views without feeling rushed.

The Experience in Detail

Booking and Price Value

At $177.87 per person, this tandem paragliding tour offers a compelling way to see Tenerife without breaking the bank. When you consider that the flight itself lasts about 40 minutes, it’s quite a reasonable price for such a personalized adventure. Plus, the price includes all taxes, fees, liability, and accident insurance, removing any surprise costs.

From reviews, we see that many travelers find this to be excellent value, especially given the high safety standards and professional service. One reviewer, James, even noted how the pilot, Cristo Afonso, was both funny and good at English—making the experience not just thrilling but also comfortable.

The Logistics: What to Expect

Once booked, you’ll be picked up from your hotel in Costa Adeje, Playa Paraíso, or Playa Las Américas, with air-conditioned transportation to the launch point in Costa Adeje. The total activity lasts around 2 hours, so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the ride, briefings, and the actual flight.

The actual flight begins with a smooth takeoff, guided by your pilot—no prior experience needed as they handle all the flying. You’ll drift over spectacular landscapes, including the Barranco del Infierno Special Nature Reserve, with its distinctive ravines and rocky formations like Abinque, Los Brezos, El Conde, and Ichasagua. The pilot takes advantage of thermal currents, which help extend the flight and add to the experience.

The Flight Path and Views

What makes this tour stand out is the crossing of the Adeje valley, where you’ll be carried by the thermal currents to fly over the reserve, then over Costa Adeje and out toward the Atlantic Ocean. The views are nothing short of spectacular—you’ll see forested ravines, rugged rock formations, and the vast ocean horizon all in one flight.

Landing is at La Enramada Beach, a lovely spot to relax after your glide. The whole experience is about 40 minutes in the air, but the entire activity—including pick-up, briefing, and landing—spans around 2 hours.

The Atmosphere and Safety

Reviewers consistently mention how professional and friendly the staff is. Cristo Afonso, in particular, gets praise for making everyone feel at ease. The included liability and accident insurance add peace of mind, and given the maximum group size of 8, you’ll get a more personalized experience.

However, it’s worth noting that this is not for the seasick or those with motion sickness issues, as the flight involves flying over open water and using thermal currents. If you’re prone to seasickness on boats or cars, you might want to consider whether you’ll be comfortable.

Additional Perks and Considerations

The tour doesn’t include food or drinks, so plan to grab a meal before or after. The meeting point is conveniently located near public transportation, making it accessible. Also, children are allowed if accompanied by an adult, which is great if you’re traveling with family, though parental discretion is advised given the heights involved.

Authentic Feedback from Travelers

One review from James highlights the quality of the experience: “Kangaroo Paragliding.. wow what an experience from picking me up at the hotel, Cristo Afonso was excellent, funny and good English. Im a big Guy, Im 110kg max weight so I was a little concerned I’d get up high enough to have a good flight.

This tandem paragliding experience is ideal for those who want a thrilling, scenic adventure without the fuss of complicated logistics.

It’s also perfect for travelers who value safety, professionalism, and a personalized touch, thanks to small group sizes. If you’re traveling with a partner, friends, or even a family member (with kids over the age limit), this shared adventure makes for a memorable story.

But if you’re prone to motion sickness or nervous about heights, you might want to weigh whether this experience suits your comfort level.
