The session is conducted in Spanish and English, so communication with your pilot is never an issue.

Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch off the ridge is the sharpest adrenaline hit: you go from standing still to airborne in a few running steps. After that, the flight levels into a sustained glide with full views over the coastline and dunes of Maspalomas below.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Most first-timers report that the sensation in the air feels less like height and more like floating. You're strapped securely to a certified tandem pilot, and there's no exposed edge to look straight down from during the flight itself.
How long are you actually in the air?
The total experience is 1 hour, which includes briefing, gearing up and the flight itself. Your actual airtime depends on conditions on the day, so ask your pilot at the briefing for the expected glide time.
What happens if the wind conditions aren't right on the day?
Tandem paragliding is weather-dependent. Contact Falcon Wings Paragliding directly before your session to confirm conditions. Reputable operators will reschedule rather than fly in unsafe winds.

Equipment

Wear closed-toe shoes with ankle support and comfortable layers you can move in. The 1h session is open to everybody, so no specific gear is required, but avoid loose scarves or items that can catch in the harness.

Getting there

Meet at the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium, Ctra. del Rincón s/n in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and confirm exact logistics with Falcon Wings Paragliding after booking since the launch site near Playa del Inglés may differ from the meeting point.
