The ground falls away and the Atlantic stretches flat-blue beneath you; a gust lifts the wing and the town of Adeje recedes into a patchwork of white roofs and terraced ravines. On the PLUS Flight you ride Tenerife’s mountain thermals from launch above Costa Adeje, sweeping low over ravines before angling toward the coast and a seaside landing at Playa La Enramada.

The ground falls away and the Atlantic stretches flat-blue beneath you; a gust lifts the wing and the town of Adeje recedes into a patchwork of white roofs and terraced ravines. On the PLUS Flight you ride Tenerife’s mountain thermals from launch above Costa Adeje, sweeping low over ravines before angling toward the coast and a seaside landing at Playa La Enramada.
Tenerife’s west coast is young in geological terms—volcanic slopes carved by lava and later trimmed by water—and those same sun-heated slopes create the thermals that push paragliders skyward. The area around Adeje has a layered history: pre-Hispanic Guanche settlements, later agricultural terraces, and now resorts that respect the island’s dramatic topography. Locals prize the sea for fishing and the cliffs for views; paragliding joins those traditions by linking mountain and ocean in one continuous arc.
Practically, expect about two hours total for the activity with roughly 20–30 minutes in the air. Weather rules the day—pilots read the thermals and choose the safest window. You’ll be in a tandem harness with a certified pilot; takeoff is a short running start or assisted launch, landing is heel-first on compact sand. Bring sturdy shoes for the hillside access, sun protection for an exposed flight, and a light windbreaker: temperatures change quickly above the lee of the cliffs.
Plan pickups from Costa Adeje, Playa Paraíso or Playa de las Américas, and budget extra time for photos and a post-flight debrief. For first-time flyers this route is a compact, high-reward introduction to Tenerife’s airborne terrain.
easy.
2 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; you should be able to walk short steep stretches and run a few steps for takeoff if asked.
The airborne portion is typically 20–30 minutes; the total activity from pickup to drop-off is about two hours.
Most operators accept children accompanied by an adult and set a safety weight range—confirm with the provider when booking as limits vary by company and equipment.
Flights depend on thermal conditions; if the PLUS flight can’t be flown due to weather, operators usually offer a STANDARD flight option or provide audiovisual material at no extra charge, and refunds follow the provider’s cancellation policy.
Many operators include an audiovisual report or offer it as an add-on—confirm inclusion at booking so you can capture the flight without relying on personal devices.
Adeje’s landscape reflects volcanic formation and centuries of terraced agriculture; the Guanche people were the island’s original inhabitants before Spanish settlement reshaped the coast.
Avoid trampling native vegetation near launch points and follow pilot instructions to prevent landings in protected dunes; marine life benefits when visitors minimize shoreline litter and disturbance.
