Gran Canaria, Spain · up to 1 guests · €70 per person · EN
Absolutely incredible experience with Chris and Paragliding Gran Canaria. He's professional, super chill, and made me feel 100% safe the whole time. The views over the island are unreal and Chris explains everything clearly before takeoff. Can't recommend enough if you want an adrenaline rush with someone who really cares. 5/5 stars.
What is this tour like?
Paragliding Gran Canaria is the school of Chris, a pilot based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria who flies the take-offs at Los Giles and Las Coloradas above the city's north coast. The Tandem Flight Las Canteras is the product for non-pilots: you are strapped in with a certified pilot and fly over the coast around the Las Canteras beach. The shop page shows the original €90 struck through and €70 as the current price; the services section of the same site says tandem paragliding 'from 70 euros'.
The company holds 4.9 on Google from 82 reviews as of 3 September 2026. Most reviewers are pilots themselves — licensed flyers who came for guiding or courses — and they praise Chris's knowledge of the island's sites and wind, and the feeling of safety; one first-timer writes that Chris explains everything clearly before take-off. Photos and video are not mentioned on the product page, so we do not promise them. No duration is published either. English is the confirmed service language.

“I'm a licensed pilot but was new to flying in Gran Canaria — Chris took me under his wing and introduced and drove me to the local takeoffs and landing sites, explained the wind and weather situation, and even offered feedback on groundhandling. I spent three days being paraguided by him and Kevin, and always felt very safe. Most pilots (me included) can learn one or another thing from him! Greatly recommended.”
“Chris did everything he could to get us flying every day. His knowledge of the island's sites was second to none. He provided not only a great guide service but also invaluable tips on flying and staying safe. Beyond paragliding his knowledge of the island was vast. He has written a guide book on climbing and pointed us to some excellent sport climbing spots. Oh, he also took us for a bridge rope swing!”
