Instead of going to the famous viewpoints of Gran Canaria that often draw the crowds, this tandem paragliding experience allows you to enjoy panoramic views that most visitors miss. As shown on our company's website, the pilots have the most experience on the islands in this sport, their names are verifiable with a click and their experience will make you feel really comfortable. This is not an activity that is quickly forgotten and the photos, also included, will immortalize the moment. The perspective from the air is far from what you are used to when you visit different places. Once you fly you will look at the sky with different eyes because you know you have been there.

Huge lack of communication (skills and channels)
Communication is only possible through Whatsapp, which is a huge bummer, since the provider doesn't seem a good communicator. The provider told me to write him a message the day we were supposed to fly, he replied way too late (around 11 am), and told me that he had to finish around 2 pm... If you have luck, the place is near your hotel, but if you are unlucky (like I was) and need 1h30min to arrive, it is nearly impossible to make it in time. I was very upset, because the activity was going to be great experience and I read a few good reviews...

Waste of your time
Chris told us to come at 11. We were on time and we waited for 30 min, but he did not show up and after 40 min he told us that he would pick us up in 2 hours. So we just wasted our time, absolutely disrespectful. I don't recommend, don't waste your time.

Tour Operator Refund please
I waited at the pick up point yesterday 17th January from 10.45 AM - 11.15AM and I did not see any group of people who were waiting for paragliding trip so I was not able to participate. I contacted the tour operator and they have not responded. Please issue a refund or arrange it for me to speak with the tour operator

Call before you book or you will lose money
Experience never happened, poor communication and bad service. I booked and I had to chase them to know more about the times, then said not going to due in that day and that they will see if can do next day. They haven’t told me anything, so once again I had to chase them for them to say no again today and maybe Monday. I’m leaving Monday so I cannot do it so I ask for a refund and still waiting

Difficult and chaotic communication
The flight didn't happen because of bad weather, which is understandable and a good desicion to call it of because of safety reasons. The communication around it was difficult. They told me to come at two, then didn't show up or answer my texts or calls for 1,5 hour. Additionally I was in contact with a middleman who wasn't on the island, didn't have any updates or infomation, couldn't help at all and told me he wasn't Aventura En Canarias even though his phone number was listed under the companys contact information. Why did I have to be in contact with this person at all?! Worst of all: So far I didn't get my money back, even though the flight didn't happen.

Why this scores 35
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Activity Paragliding Flight in Gran Canaria: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.
How much does Private Activity Paragliding Flight in Gran Canaria cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gran Canaria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Activity Paragliding Flight in Gran Canaria take?
+
Plan for about 0.2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gran Canaria is not rushed.
Is Private Activity Paragliding Flight in Gran Canaria worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 35 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gran Canaria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Activity Paragliding Flight in Gran Canaria?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Activity Paragliding Flight in Gran Canaria suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Activity Paragliding Flight in Gran Canaria?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gran Canaria can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gran Canaria and add a light layer if any part of the 0.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Activity Paragliding Flight in Gran Canaria start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gran Canaria within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Gran Canaria?
+
On Outty we rank every Gran Canaria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Puerto de Mogán: Coastal Cruise with Optional Snorkeling & Lunch, Guided tour of the Banana World, Gran Canaria Red Canyon: Small Group Tour & Local Food ツ. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gran Canaria?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gran Canaria?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
