What you'll do
Begin your adventure at one of the island's premier launch sites, such as Los Giles or the rugged cliffs of Las Coloradas, chosen on the day to ensure the most stable wind conditions. After a comprehensive safety briefing, your certified instructor will walk you through the anatomy of the wing and the physics of the trade winds. Learn about the "launch run" and the delicate balance required to take flight. Once airborne, the experience evolves. Under the close supervision of your expert pilot, you will have the opportunity to take the controls. Feel the tension in the lines as you practice gentle turns and learn how to bank the wing over the turquoise waters of Las Canteras. Capture 360-degree panoramas of Las Palmas, the Atlantic Ocean, and the island's volcanic peaks.

Traveller reviews
Jacob and his team were fantastic. Booking and meeting details confirmed by WhatsApp in advance and all professionally handled. What an afternoon!! Neither me or my partner have ever paraglided before and she was most definitely nervous. Jacob was comical yet calming so she soon relaxed… a little!! Instruction was spot on and both our flights were something we will never forget. Can’t recommend this experience enough, truly epic!! We also spent the extra to get the photo and video package which was worth every penny. Incredible profesional pictures and a well edited video done to our own music choice and edited beautifully!!
What an incredible experience! We loved it so much! The pilots are very professional and made us feel safe and comfortable. They also like to make jokes and put a smile on our faces the entire time. You don’t need to be scared, you are in safe hands! Paragliding is so so fun, we recommended to everyone! But most important, book it with Falcon wings, you will not regret it 😄
What an incredible experience! From the moment I arrived, the instructor made me feel welcome and at ease. The instructor was extremely friendly, professional, and experienced. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt safe before takeoff. Their calm and confident attitude made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The flight itself was absolutely breathtaking and something I’ll never forget. If you’re thinking about trying paragliding but feel a little nervous, this is definitely the company to choose. They make you feel comfortable and confident from start to finish. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for an unforgettable and safe paragliding adventure. Thank you for such an amazing experience!
It was a really nice experience with Jacob 😁
We had an amazing time paragliding with Jacob! He is very professional and makes the activity a lot of fun. After a while I even got to steer myself, which was so cool! We chose to pay extra for photos and videos and Jacob really puts in a lot of love and effort to create the photos and video for you that you will love best. You can just tell he loves his business and is always thinking about how he can make the experience even better. Thank you Jacob for a great memory!
best guide u could have and such a fun thing!! everyone should do it, especially with jacob!
I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Jacob, the instructor let me take control when we were airborne. He was very laid back. The landing on the shore was very gentle. Altogether an amazing trip.
It has been an incredible experience!! Jacob is a wonderful pilot, he explains everything great, and flying with him is a very good experience. He managed to make me feel very safe and able to perfectly enjoy the activity. I recommend it 100%.
