Wind lifts you before you do anything—an Atlantic breath that smooths across volcanic cliffs and pushes you gently from a grassy ridge into open sky. From takeoff near Ladera Alta and Los Giles the coastline drops away: black lava rock, pale sand at Las Canteras, and the city’s auditorium shrinking under a silent canopy. For about 20 minutes you ride the trade winds between 200–500 meters, watching waves etch the shore while the city grid recedes into terraces of honey-colored buildings.
moderate.
1.5 hours (includes transfer and briefing; ~20 minutes airborne).
Light fitness required—able to run a short takeoff and follow instructor cues
Air time is typically around 15–25 minutes depending on wind conditions; the full experience including briefing and transfers lasts about 90 minutes.
Certified instructors operate under Canary Islands regulations with liability insurance; flights are only conducted in suitable wind conditions and after safety briefings.
Most people can participate, but there is a weight limit (~99 kg) and it’s not recommended for those with serious back, heart conditions, or pregnancy.
Landings are planned in a wide, unobstructed plaza by the Las Palmas auditorium next to Las Canteras beach; pilots manage approach to ensure a soft, assisted landing.
Las Palmas was founded in 1478 and grew as a key Atlantic port; the island’s landscape is shaped by volcanic eruptions and maritime trade routes.
Respect marked beaches and avoid disturbing dune vegetation around Las Canteras; pilots follow regulations to minimize disturbance to coastal wildlife and nesting areas.
