Paragliding in Orzola
A tandem flight you'll remember for the rest of your trip
About this flying site
Coastal cliffs in the far north with bird colonies, deep blue water, and La Graciosa filling the horizon. A favourite for cliff-edge flying when the northeast trades blow.
The wind decides where we fly
Lanzarote's wind shifts daily: north cliffs, south slopes, or coastal sites depending on conditions. Your pilot picks the best one the morning of your flight; you're booking the experience, not the location.
Orzola is one of our regular sites. If conditions line up on your date, this is where you'll fly.

More about Orzola
Orzola is the wild north of the island: a fishing village at the tip of Lanzarote where the cliffs face La Graciosa across the strait. With NE winds you soar the coast with a backdrop few sites can match.
Why fly here
- La Graciosa right there. The neighbour island sits a few kilometres offshore, framed for the entire flight.
- Just you and the seabirds. Orzola is far from the resort coast, so you share the air with the birds nesting in the cliffs rather than other pilots.
- Wild character. Punta Fariones and the volcanic cliffs feel raw and untouched, a world away from the resorts in the south.
What to expect on the day
A long drive north on the LZ-1, past every other launch on the island, and the anticipation builds all the way. The takeoff is a short walk along the coast from the village, and then you're out over deep blue water with La Graciosa in front of you.
Best for
Anyone who wants their flight to feel like a real adventure at the edge of the island, and anyone collecting Lanzarote's most striking views.
