Learn to paraglide in Gran Canaria
If you want to get started in paragliding, a beginner course is the first step towards learning with a safe, progressive and personalised foundation. At Aventura en Canarias, we work with small groups and adapt the training to each student’s pace, so you can understand free flight from the inside and progress with good judgement.

Do you need previous experience?
No. You do not need to have flown before to start a paragliding course. What matters is having a basic level of fitness, a willingness to learn and a responsible attitude towards an aerial activity. Progression must be step by step, always under supervision and depending on the weather conditions.
During the course, you will learn to understand the equipment, practise wing control on the ground, read the wind and absorb the basic concepts before moving towards increasingly autonomous flights.
Progressive and personalised training
Our paragliding courses in Gran Canaria are designed with a progressive methodology. We avoid large groups because we prefer to prioritise safety, teaching quality and real attention for each student.
The goal is not to progress quickly, but to progress well: each student should understand what they are doing, gain confidence naturally and build a solid foundation for future flights.
Learn with experienced instructors
At Aventura en Canarias, we have years of experience in the world of paragliding and free flight. We guide you from your first contact with the equipment through the following stages of learning, always with a practical approach focused on safety.
Once you finish the course, you can also continue flying under supervision within our school structure. This follow-up stage is very important to consolidate what you have learned, gain experience and continue developing judgement as a pilot.
