Do I need any experience to fly?
No. Every tour in Las Palmas is rated 'Everybody welcome', meaning zero prior experience is required. Your pilot handles all controls for the full duration of the flight.

The takeoff. The transition from running to full weightlessness happens in under three seconds. Once airborne, adrenaline levels drop and most passengers describe the sensation as surprisingly calm.
