Description
Fly with a local expert born and raised on Gran Canaria who offers a fully licensed tandem paragliding experience. Benefit from local knowledge combined with professional safety standards while enjoying aerial views of the island.
Your tour begins with pickup from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Playa del Inglés, or Gáldar, followed by a welcome briefing. You will be fitted with a harness, helmet, and radio for communication during the flight.
Launch gently from a hillside—no steep hikes required—and glide at speeds of 20–30 km/h with your instructor. Take in expansive 360° views including rugged cliffs, Las Canteras beach below, and the Atlantic horizon. The flight ends with a smooth landing suitable for all skill levels.
After landing, travel by air-conditioned minivan through Arucas, passing banana fields and traditional Canarian farmhouses. Learn about Gran Canaria’s unique microclimates and volcanic soil that contribute to its distinctive banana cultivation.
Arrive at a finca in Guía, where over 3,000 banana plants, including rare varieties, grow under sustainable conditions. A local guide will explain natural irrigation and pest control methods, plus the island’s historical banana industry.
Participate in a hands-on activity where you will peel, de-flower, and plant a mini banana pup. Enjoy a tasting session featuring 3–4 types of freshly harvested organic bananas alongside local cheeses and honey.
