The only tandem in Tenerife that teaches you to fly.
Hands-on paragliding with certified SafePro instructors. Five tandem flights, each designed around what you want to feel. Daily from Costa Adeje.
What we do
Tandem paragliding, but on the passenger's terms.
Every Tenerife operator will fly you. We're the only one that, on our signature flight, hands you the brakes halfway through and teaches you what the glider is doing, with a certified instructor two feet behind you, ready to correct.

Our signature flight
Unique to Touch The Sky
You won't just be a passenger. You'll learn to fly.
In every other tandem flight in Tenerife, the pilot does the work while you look around. We designed this one differently.
During the climb, your instructor explains what's happening: how the glider reads the air, why we turn where we turn, what the ridges give us. Then, around the halfway mark, they put the brake toggles in your hands.
For the next eight to ten minutes you actively fly, with your instructor watching and correcting in real time. You learn, in your body, what pilot students learn in their first week of school, without ever leaving professional supervision.
- Duration
- 15–20 min
- Hands-on time
- 8–10 min
- Altitude
- 700–1,000 m

Real frames from real flights. Every day we launch, we come back with more.
Safety first, never second
The things we don't compromise on.
Every pilot holds a SafePro Tandem certification, renewed yearly, not once in a career.
Equipment is inspected before every flight and retired on a fixed schedule, not when it starts to look worn.
We fly with a reserve parachute on every single flight. Not optional, not extra.
If the wind isn't right, we don't fly. A refunded flight is cheaper than any alternative.
