Take-off advertised in the Teide area: confirm the actual site with the operator (see National Park rules).
Take-offs in the Teide area: the National Park management plan approved in December 2025 treats the take-off or landing of any aircraft inside the park as incompatible. Some listings still advertise take-off at Izaña or in the National Park, with an alternative site if that is not possible. Before booking, ask the operator where flights take off today. What the rules say.
“Check availability” buttons go to GetYourGuide through an affiliate link. “From” prices per person in euros, as shown on 30 October 2026; the actual price and availability are on GetYourGuide. How we are funded.

How to choose
Most flights are in the south, with hotel pickup from Los Cristianos to Playa Paraíso. In the north you usually meet in Puerto de la Cruz, without hotel pickup.
A standard tandem flight is 15–20 minutes in the air. For more, look for “long duration” or a higher take-off such as Ifonche. No operator guarantees the minutes.
Some include a few photos; others charge for the pack (€25–85 depending on the listing). Add it before comparing prices.
Maximum weight from 90 to 120 kg and minimum age from 3 to 13, depending on the flight. Also check for weight surcharges.
Flying areas
Although some listing titles say “Santa Cruz” or “Los Gigantes”, the flights we reviewed take off from the hillsides of Adeje or in the north. The wind decides the take-off site on the day.
Most flights. A van takes you up the hillside and, wind permitting, you land on the Costa Adeje coast.
Fewer flights and stricter requirements. A short flight over the Martiánez cliffs; some listings also advertise take-offs in the Teide area, now subject to the National Park rules.

Common questions
Short answers based on the listings. For wind, pilots and regulations, see the safety guide.
Across the 32 Tenerife activities we reviewed on GetYourGuide, the “from” price per person ranges from €89 to €210 (checked on 30 October 2026). A standard tandem flight in the south costs around €100–130; northern flights and experiences with photos or at sunset cost more. The final price depends on the date, the option and any extras.
Separate the flight from the activity. Paragliding listings that publish it give 10 to 35 minutes in the air, depending on the type of flight and the wind (one motorised paratrike tour lasts about an hour); several operators state that air time is not guaranteed. The whole activity, with pickup, the drive to take-off and the return, takes 1 to 3 hours.
Yes, and it varies by activity: in the listings we reviewed, the maximum weight ranges from 90 to 120 kg and the minimum age from 3 to 13. One northern operator charges a surcharge above 85 kg. Check each flight’s limits in the comparison and the requirements guide.
The pilot or operator decides, not the calendar: if the wind is not suitable they may change the take-off site, move the time or day, or cancel. Change and refund terms are those of your booking on GetYourGuide: read them before you pay.
No. Every flight on this site is a tandem flight: you are strapped in front of a pilot who does the flying. You are asked to follow the briefing and, at most take-off sites, to walk or run a few metres when you launch.
