15 min.
Description
Experience the thrill of paragliding over Gran Canaria with an instructor. Learn the basics of flight, take control of the glider, and enjoy the breathtaking views of both the mountains and ocean.
Begin your adventure at one of the island's premier launch sites, such as Los Giles or the rugged cliffs of Las Coloradas, chosen on the day to ensure the most stable wind conditions. After a comprehensive safety briefing, your certified instructor will walk you through the anatomy of the wing and the physics of the trade winds.
Learn about the "launch run" and the delicate balance required to take flight. Once airborne, the experience evolves. Under the close supervision of your expert pilot, you will have the opportunity to take the controls.
Feel the tension in the lines as you practice gentle turns and learn how to bank the wing over the turquoise waters of Las Canteras. Capture 360-degree panoramas of Las Palmas, the Atlantic Ocean, and the island's volcanic peaks.
