The Great Misconception About Paragliding
If you've arrived here searching for "paragliding jumping" or "jump paragliding Lanzarote", we have news for you: We don't jump! And trust us, that's a very good thing.
Many people confuse paragliding with skydiving or bungee jumping. The reality is much better: in paragliding, you don't throw yourself off anything. We simply take a few steps from a gentle slope and... magic! The wind does the rest.
So... What Do We Actually Do?
The difference between jumping and actually flying

How Does It Actually Work?
The Takeoff
We walk together a few steps down a gentle slope. The wind inflates the paraglider above us and... we're flying! No jumps, no falls, no scares.
The Flight
We float peacefully riding the air currents. You can relax, enjoy the views of Lanzarote's volcanic landscape, and even let go of the handles if you feel like it.
The Landing
We descend gently to the beach or landing spot. So smooth that many passengers say: "Already? I want more!"
