Frequently asked questions
Do I need any paragliding experience to join this flight?
No experience is needed. The flight is listed as 'Everybody welcome' and runs as a tandem session with a certified pilot, so you focus on the view while the pilot handles all controls.
What is the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch is the sharpest moment: you go from standing still to airborne in a few running steps, and the ground drops away immediately. Once in the air, the flight is smooth and the Atlantic coastline of Gran Canaria opens up below you.
How long are you actually in the air?
The total experience is 1 hour. That includes preparation and briefing on the ground, so confirm exact air time with Falcon Wings Paragliding when you book.
Where exactly does the flight depart from?
The meeting point is the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. From there, the operator transfers you to the launch site above Playa de Mogán in the south of the island.
