What does paragliding in Tenerife cost?
A tandem paragliding flight belongs on Tenerife to the experiences you should plan a bit more for than a beach day or a bus tour. For that you get an experienced pilot, the complete equipment, the ride to the launch site, and usually pickup from your hotel too. When you compare the prices, you will quickly notice that the differences lie less in the flight itself than in everything organized around it.
The range is manageable. The cheapest flight in the comparison starts from $103, but has only 12 reviews. Most well-rated flights in the south are close together, such as the tandem flight from Costa Adeje with pickup starting from $127. The flight on this page with the champion pilots costs from $150.
At the top end are the high-altitude flights in the north. The flight from Teide to Puerto de la Cruz starts from $173 and lasts 3 hours. The sunset variant on the same route costs a bit more, from $196. All amounts are starting prices per person; what you pay in the end depends on date, time, and the extras you choose.
The flights in the south: close together
Around Costa Adeje and Adeje, most tandem flights on the island take off, and here the selection is also largest. As a guest, that is an advantage for you: the prices are similar, the services are well comparable, and you decide more by ratings, group size, and language than by the amount. Nearly all of these flights last 2 hours in total, from pickup to return.
Several offers with pickup are nearly on par. The flight with pickup from Costa Adeje starts from $127 and has 4.98 points from 829 reviews. The tandem experience with pickup starts from $127 with 4.93 points. The tandem flight in Adeje with hotel transfer starts from $127 and scores 4.96 points.
A bit cheaper is a flight with a private group from $116, which has 4.79 points from 281 reviews. A bit more expensive are flights with free photos or a launch from greater altitude, such as the flight from 1,100 meters above Costa Adeje starting from $150. A look at the number of reviews helps: a very new flight with few votes is not worse, but harder to judge.

Four Questions That Make Choosing Between Flights Easier.
A flight in the south
Flights with Pickup from Costa Adeje start at $127 and are very highly rated.
The tour on this page
Maximum 4 Guests, and German Is Among the Pilots' Languages.
The Flight from Teide
The Takeoff in Izaña is at 2,300 Meters.1
An Acrobatic Flight
Acrobatic Tandem Flights Start at $150.
What is included in the tour price on this page
With the flight on this page, a driver picks you up at your hotel; the pickup covers 23 locations in the south. According to the offer, the helmet and safety equipment, 5 GoPro photos of your flight, and a bottle of water are included. The group is small, at most 4 guests go up together.
For pickup it is worth comparing your accommodation with the list of pickup locations before booking. If your hotel is not on the list, there is usually a meeting point nearby that you can reach on foot. The ride is already part of the experience with this flight: on the way up you see the coast getting smaller below you, and the anticipation grows with every curve.
The reviews for this offer are also high for sub-scores. Guests give 5 points for the guides, 4.9 for transport, and 4.8 for value for money. That last number is particularly interesting for this page: those who have paid apparently find the amount justified in hindsight.

Extras: photos, videos, and panoramic shots
The biggest difference between the starting price and what you end up paying often comes from the recordings. With the flight on this page, 5 GoPro photos are included; a larger video package and a panoramic package from a spherical camera cost extra. Think beforehand about whether a handful of photos is enough for you or whether you want to share the flight as a video afterward. A video captures the launch and landing, which are often missing from photos, and it also catches the feeling when the wing opens above you and your feet leave the ground.
An honest tip: the visibility in the air is not the same every day. On hazy days when Saharan dust lies over the Canary Islands, photos look more muted than on clear winter days. If you are unsure, decide after the flight if the provider allows it. Just ask during the briefing how they handle it on the day.
With other providers, photos are sometimes already included in the price. A flight from Costa Adeje advertises 5 free photos and costs from $150. So if recordings matter to you, always add the flight and the photo package together before comparing two offers.
Altitude, route, and acrobatics: what you pay more for
The price rises mainly with the altitude of the launch site and the length of the transfer. If you launch in the north from the Teide area, the drive is significantly longer, and you start the flight in a completely different landscape, between lava fields and pine forest instead of over hotels and banana plantations. The Izaña launch site is at 2,300 meters, and from there it goes all the way down to Puerto de la Cruz.1 That explains why these flights are scheduled for 3 hours.
Acrobatics also costs a surcharge. The acrobatic tandem flight starts from $162, an acrobatic flight in Santa Cruz from $150. A high-performance flight starts from $190, but has only 3 reviews so far. For your first flight you do not need any loops. Just tell your pilot before launch whether you prefer it calm or if a few steep turns would be fun, and he will adjust the flight accordingly.
A middle ground is a launch at medium altitude in the south. The flight from Ifonche with a starting altitude of 1,000 meters costs from $139 and is designed as a private group. This gives you a bit more altitude than many coastal flights, without having to drive all the way north.
So you calculate for two, three, or four people
A tandem flight is paid per person, because each guest flies with their own pilot. For a couple the amount therefore doubles, for a small group of four it quadruples. The calculator below shows you the total for several flights side by side, so you do not have to do the math in your head.
When it comes to group size, take a closer look. Many flights in the south take a maximum of 4 guests per trip, and this flight is one of them. Another offering lists up to 8 participants. If you are traveling with a larger group, check at the time of booking whether everyone can fly in the same time window, or book two consecutive time slots. Then the first half waits at the landing spot and watches the others approach.
For families: children can fly on this flight from the age of 6, while persons over 70 years of age and over 110 kilograms are excluded. You should know these limits before you pay for everyone. More about weight, age, and clothing can be found on the requirements page.
Is the price worth it?
In the end, whether a tandem flight is worth it depends on how you feel up in the air. A flight over the coast of Adeje is short compared to a full day trip, but it often stays in your memory longer than an entire day of sightseeing. Turismo de Tenerife describes paragliding on the island as a unique experience, thanks to the climate and the landscape.2
It is important to book with realistic expectations. The wind decides when flying takes place, and sometimes a reservation shifts by a few hours or days. Therefore, plan the flight toward the beginning of your vacation so that there is still time for a replacement date. Free cancellation up to 24 hours beforehand takes away the financial risk for you.
If your budget is tight, choose one of the well-rated flights in the south and skip the large photo package. If you want to treat yourself to something special, the flight from the altitude of the Teide area is the most impressive option. In between lies this flight: small group, pickup included, and pilots who also speak German.
