Wind tugs, a quick run, and then silence as the island folds away beneath you: that first instant of lift is the hook that turns a vacation into a story. On a tandem "rollercoaster" flight from Lanzarote, pilots steer you over black lava fields and the Atlantic rim, trading the island’s hard volcanic geometry for broad coastal panoramas.

History
Lanzarote’s modern terrain was largely shaped by eruptions from 1730–36 and later 19th-century activity; fields of basalt and volcanic cones reflect those events.
Conservation
The volcanic surface and sparse endemic flora are fragile; stick to marked access points and follow pilot guidance to avoid trampling sensitive areas.

Check weight limits and disclose accurately
Operators require weight information for safe wing loading; honesty prevents last-minute cancellations or equipment risks.
Dress in layers and wear closed-toe shoes
Coastal winds can be cool even on warm days; sturdy shoes and a windbreaker improve comfort during takeoff and landing.
Secure your camera with a strap
Handheld photos are possible but secure mounts or straps reduce the chance of losing gear during maneuvers.
Arrive early for weather briefings
Flights depend on wind windows; arriving 20–30 minutes early helps ensure timely weather checks and briefing time.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Provide stable footing for the brief run at launch and firm footing on uneven terrain.
Windproof jacket
Blocks chill from Atlantic winds at altitude and during pre/post-flight time.
