Operated by FlyTenerife · Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Rising above Adeje, on the southern coast of Tenerife in the Santa Cruz de Tenerife province, FlyTenerife offers a unique aerial adventure for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. This island gem in Spain is renowned for its volcanic landscapes, sweeping ocean views, and steady trade winds, making it an ideal playground for glider flights. With FlyTenerife, you'll board a sleek glider for a 25 to 30-minute flight that puts you in command over the skies.
Adeje’s dramatic coastal cliffs, rugged volcanic ridges, and the vast Atlantic Ocean stretch beneath you, while the island’s microclimates create ideal conditions for riding thermals. Feel the surge as you take control of the glider, mastering the art of silent flight and catching invisible currents of warm air. Unlike powered aircraft, the glider’s gentle, engine-free glide offers an intimate connection to the elements — an experience rare even for seasoned aviators.
FlyTenerife stands out in this landscape by providing door-to-door service, removing logistical friction and letting you focus on the adventure ahead. Their expert pilots offer hands-on instruction, allowing you to step up as a co-pilot and navigate the sky under supervision. This makes the experience accessible to both novices and aviation enthusiasts seeking to sharpen their skills.
The landscape below is striking: from the distinctive black lava flows to banana plantations and coastal villages, every moment delivers fresh perspectives.
