From roughly one thousand metres on the Ifonche ridge, this tandem flight pairs a scenic mountain drive with long glides toward the south coast, built for guests who want altitude, volcanic scenery and a fuller half-day with pilots who know the island's high sites.
Meet us at Playa de la Enramada in Adeje or at your hotel when pick-up is part of your booking, then head up toward Ifonche through pine forest and volcanic slopes. On the ridge your pilot fits helmet and harness, explains mountain take-off and the line toward the coast, and answers questions while the team reads the wind.
A short take-off run, when conditions allow, opens views toward Teide country, Barranco del Infierno and the Atlantic with more height than a typical coastal launch. We land in an authorised zone matched to the day's wind, then bring you back to the meeting point or agreed drop-off.
Ifonche sits in the high country above south Tenerife, reached by road from Adeje and the resort coast. Drivers gather at Playa de la Enramada car park; complimentary pick-up applies from selected south Tenerife hotels when you share stay details when you book.
Getting there is part of the experience, with island and sea views unfolding as you climb toward the ridge. Pilots choose the exact launch line and landing field from live wind and cloud, keeping mountain tandem flights within safe limits.
Mountain flying experience is not required, though you should be happy with a slightly longer morning or afternoon and a brief walk at the launch area. Layered clothing, grippy sports shoes and attention during the briefing matter most between coast and ridge.
Younger guests can fly when they manage take-off with the pilot, with a parent or guardian present for under-18s. Suitability and harness fit are confirmed on the mountain before anyone leaves the ground.
Ridge launches demand pilots who read mountain wind and sea breeze together, and ours are certified for tandem work on Ifonche and coastal sites alike. Kit is checked at the launch area, and we stay in touch by message when cloud or wind calls for a schedule change.
The full story matters here: the transfer, the briefing on the ridge and a longer glide with big-sky views. Optional GoPro media is available if you want to share the day after you land.
Meet at La Enramada or your pick-up point, then drive towards the Ifonche mountain launch. Your pilot confirms conditions en route.
If Ifonche is not viable, we discuss alternatives before you travel unnecessarily.
At Ifonche we fit helmets and harnesses and explain the mountain takeoff run. Safety checks are thorough because altitude and terrain demand extra care.
You will know exactly how to move with the pilot on launch.
Glide above ravines and volcanic cliffs with views opening towards the coast and Atlantic when the route allows. Flight path varies with weather.
Landing is in the safest authorised area chosen by your pilot.
Closed sports shoes, a jacket or windbreaker and sunglasses are recommended. Sandals are not suitable for mountain takeoff runs.
The mountain launch sits higher and farther inland, so the day includes more transfer time and a ridge briefing before you fly. Plan around two hours from meeting or pick-up through the drive, flight and return.
That extra time buys altitude and scenery you do not get from a quick coastal hop alone. Your pilot will outline the schedule when you meet so you know how the morning or afternoon will unfold.
Playa de la Enramada car park in Adeje is the usual meeting point, with directions sent after you book. Parking is available for guests who drive from their hotel.
Complimentary pick-up from selected south Tenerife resorts is available when you tell us where you are staying. We confirm pick-up time and location by message before the day.
Layers work best because the ridge can feel cooler than the beach even on sunny days. Sports shoes with good grip are essential for the take-off run on uneven ground.
Bring sunglasses and sunscreen for the drive and wait at launch. Avoid sandals and loose scarves that could catch on the harness.
Most flights aim for around 20 to 30 minutes aloft when wind and thermals cooperate on the day. Mountain launches often allow a longer glide toward the coast than a short coastal-only hop.
Your pilot chooses the line that keeps the wing stable and comfortable for you. Exact airtime varies with weather, and your pilot explains what is realistic before take-off.
No prior paragliding is required. Your pilot is trained and certified for tandem flights and controls the wing from launch to landing.
You follow simple instructions for the take-off run and landing while enjoying the views. The briefing at Ifonche covers everything a first-time passenger needs to know.
One passenger flies per tandem wing, so families often book consecutive slots on the same day. Children from around 6 years can fly when they can manage take-off with the pilot.
A parent or guardian should be present for under-18s. Your pilot makes the final call on the ridge based on harness fit and conditions.
Pilots check the forecast and live conditions before leaving the coast and again at Ifonche. If the ridge is not safe for tandem launch, we adjust the plan and contact you as early as possible.
That might mean a later slot the same day or another day with clearer wind. Your safety always comes before flying from the mountain.
Complimentary pick-up is offered from selected resorts in south Tenerife when you provide your accommodation details when you book. We message you with the confirmed time and meeting point.
If pick-up is not available for your area, driving to Playa de la Enramada is straightforward. Allow extra time for parking on busy mornings.
GoPro photo and video packs are available so you can relive the ridge take-off and coastal glide. Personal phones and cameras stay secured on the ground during the flight for safety.
You can add the media pack when you book or decide after landing once you have seen samples. Your pilot explains what is included before you choose.
English briefings are standard, and many pilots also speak Spanish and other languages. Mention any language preference when you book so we can match you when possible.
Take-off and landing cues are kept simple and visual, which helps guests who are still building confidence in English. Ask anything you need before you leave the ridge.
About the centre
Adeje
From hotel pick-up in south Tenerife to your landing zone, you'll fly with certified tandem pilots who have decades of experience on Costa Adeje's mountain sites. Briefings are clear, equipment is checked before every take-off, and the team stays in touch by WhatsApp when weather needs a plan B.
Whether you want a gentle first glide, longer airtime over the coast, high-mountain scenery from Ifonche, or a more dynamic acrobatic flight, each experience is shaped around safe conditions and your comfort in the harness. Complimentary pick-up is available from selected resorts, with meeting points at Playa de La Enramada when you prefer to drive.
