We never stop flying, and we do not want you to miss it. In Gran Canaria, there is always a good reason to get into the air and share what we love most: the feeling of freedom, the views from above and that moment when someone discovers for the first time what it means to fly in a paraglider.
This time, three friends who were on holiday on the island decided to enjoy the experience with us. They were looking for something different, something beyond sun and beach, and ended up taking home one of those memories that are not easily forgotten.
Three friends, one flight and an experience to remember
Paragliding has something special: before take-off there are nerves, curiosity and many questions; after landing, almost always the same smile appears. The video shows exactly that: the excitement of trying something new, the confidence during preparation and the surprise of seeing Gran Canaria from another perspective.
The flight took place in the Los Giles area, one of the usual places for paragliding when conditions allow it. From there, the island appears in a very different way: ravines, coastline, terrain and a sense of height that turn the experience into something much more intense than a simple tourist activity.
Watch the video of the experience
In this video, you can see what a flight feels like from the inside: the preparation, take-off, views and the reaction of people who have just discovered free flight for the first time.
The best thing about this type of experience is that you do not need to know how to pilot or have any previous knowledge. You only need the desire to try something different, comfortable shoes, suitable clothing for the day and the willingness to let the pilot take care of everything else.
How to enjoy a similar experience
If, after watching the video, you imagined yourself up there, this can be a good way to take the step. A tandem flight is designed precisely for people who want to feel paragliding for the first time with a professional pilot and without dealing with the technical side.
You can see all the details, price and booking information on our specific page for tandem paragliding with a pilot in Gran Canaria.
And if you still want to explore other options, you can also visit our general paragliding in Gran Canaria section, where we bring together flights, courses and services for pilots.
A simple, intense adventure that is hard to explain until you live it
Many people arrive with doubts before take-off and end up saying they would repeat the experience. That is what we enjoy most about sharing this activity: seeing how someone’s face changes between the moment before the flight and the moment they touch the ground again.
If you are looking for a different experience during your holiday in Gran Canaria, perhaps you do not need to complicate things too much. Sometimes it is enough to see the island from above to take home a completely different memory.
