Lanzarote looks different from up here. This tandem paragliding flight lets you glide over the sea and lava fields, with Swiss Quality Pilots who have logged years in the Swiss Alps. If you book the rollercoaster flight, you’ll also get super-fun maneuvers that bring real adrenaline without you having to do a thing.

I also really like how they handle the experience with a calm, accessible setup. You’re not required to have paragliding experience or special fitness, and you’ll come away with photos and videos from the air. The main thing to plan around is getting to the start point on your own, since private transportation isn’t included.

Key things to know before you lift off

• Swiss Alps experience: Pilots are described as Swiss Quality with 30+ years in the Swiss Alps
• Rollercoaster option: Smooth start, then fun maneuvers aimed at adrenaline seekers
• No experience needed: No special experience or physical condition is required
• Video and photos included: You get pictures and videos from the flight
• Good-weather dependent: The company notes the activity needs good weather to operate
• Private group: It’s booked as a private activity for only your group

Tinajo meet-up: where you start and what to plan

Your adventure starts in 35560 Tinajo, Lanzarote, and it ends back at the same meeting point. The total time is listed as about 1 hour 30 minutes, which usually means you’ll have time for check-in and getting geared up, plus the actual flight. Since you’re not given any other stop details, the day is best treated as a single focused block rather than something you’ll easily stack with a lot of other tours.

One practical note: private transportation isn’t included. If you’re staying outside Tinajo, that means you’ll want to line up a bus route or taxi plan before you book. The meeting point is listed as being near public transportation, which helps, but don’t leave this to the last minute.

The operator also states you’ll receive confirmation at booking time, unless you book within 12 hours of travel. In that case, confirmation comes as soon as possible based on availability. If you’re trying to lock in a specific day, earlier booking makes life easier.

How the tandem format keeps it simple (and way more fun)

The big selling point here is that this is tandem paragliding, meaning you’re not solo-piloting. You’ll be with a pilot, and you’re guided throughout. The company describes a warm welcome and an approach that works for people who might have questions or doubts. They also emphasize that you can bring your emotions and concerns with you, which is a nice sign if you’re the type who needs a little reassurance before anything happens.

They also highlight their “Swiss Quality Pilots” with 30+ years flying in the Swiss Alps. That matters because paragliding is all about calm decision-making—wind, timing, and smooth control. Having an experienced pilot isn’t just a brag point. It’s the difference between feeling like you’re doing something brave and feeling like you’re in capable hands while you enjoy it.

In the experience description, they say no special experience or physical condition is required. That doesn’t mean it’s a walk in the park for everyone, but it does mean the activity isn’t aimed only at the hardcore outdoors crowd. It’s built for normal people who want a new sensation without training.

Rollercoaster flight over ocean and lava: what to expect in the air

This option is clearly aimed at adrenaline seekers. The description spells out a smooth start that gradually builds into super-fun maneuvers. In other words, you’re not thrown into chaos immediately. You’ll feel the adrenaline as the flight turns more playful, with the pilot using the air and the canopy to create those “whoa” moments.

From participant feedback shared in the materials, the rollercoaster experience involved about 20–25 minutes in the air. That’s a sweet chunk of time for a first-time tandem flight: long enough to really enjoy the views and feel the movement, without turning it into a tiring endurance event.

What makes this setup so rewarding is the mix of emotion and comfort. The flight is described as relaxing and accessible, but the rollercoaster portion is where you get the action. You get to choose how intense the experience feels, since they frame the rollercoaster flight as the adrenaline-leaning option while still keeping the overall format beginner-friendly.

The views you can look for: La Graciosa and Timanfaya

What you see above Lanzarote is a major part of the value here. The flight is described as going over the ocean and the lava and volcano areas of Lanzarote. That’s not just scenic marketing. Volcanic terrain changes color and shape quickly from above, and ocean air adds a sense of space you don’t get on land.

In the review text included with the tour details, one flight route mentioned views over the west coast, including La Graciosa and Timanfaya National Park. If those names mean anything to you, that’s a good sign you’re booking an experience that takes you past the most “wow” sections of the island from a vantage point most people never see.

Tip for your first flight: don’t try to spot everything at once. Instead, pick one anchor view to track—ocean line, volcanic textures, or the big landmark areas the route passes. You’ll enjoy it more, and you’ll have better “I saw that” memories later.

Pictures and videos included: how to get more out of the flight

This is one of those details that feels small until you’re actually there. The tour includes pictures and videos from the flight. That means you can spend less time fiddling with your phone and more time looking up at the real experience happening around you.

It also helps you remember the moments that you might not fully process while you’re flying. Adrenaline makes time feel weird. Having visual proof of the highlights—especially during the rollercoaster maneuvers—turns your flight into something you can revisit later.

One practical suggestion: wear something that feels secure for movement and keep your hands free during the maneuvers. You’ll be happier focusing on the sky instead of worrying about anything in your pockets.

Price and value: is $183.42 worth it?

At $183.42 per person, you’re paying for three things: specialized equipment, an experienced pilot, and a short slice of time over Lanzarote that you can’t replicate by foot or car.

Is that expensive? In the paragliding world, it’s not unusual. The real question is value. Here, the value case is strong because:

• You’re getting tandem guidance with pilots described as having 30+ years in the Swiss Alps
• The flight includes the rollercoaster option if you want adrenaline
• Photos and videos are included, which is often an add-on elsewhere

The potential downside is that you’re not paying for transportation. If you need a taxi from a distant hotel, your total cost can creep up. That’s the one budget item that can surprise you.

My advice: treat this as a “main event” for a day. If you try to cram lots of activities around it, you’ll spend more time coordinating than enjoying. Book it, plan transport, and let it be the highlight.

Who should book (and who should think twice)

This paragliding experience is a strong match if you want:

• A first-time-friendly adrenaline experience
• A change of pace from beaches and museums
• The chance to see both ocean and volcanic areas in one flight

It’s also a good option if you’re traveling with someone who might be nervous. The operator emphasizes reassurance and being in good hands, and the tandem setup reduces the learning curve.

Who should think twice? If you hate weather-based uncertainty, remember the operator states the activity requires good weather. If conditions aren’t right, the experience can be canceled, and you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad booking. It just means you should keep one flexible day in your schedule.

Should you book the rollercoaster tandem flight?

I’d book it if you want Lanzarote from above and you like the idea of controlled adrenaline. The combination of Swiss-trained pilots, an accessible tandem setup, and the rollercoaster option is a rare mix: you get the nerves and the grin, but you’re not out there trying to figure anything out.

I’d think twice if your biggest challenge is logistics. Since private transportation isn’t included, make sure you can reliably get to Tinajo on time. If you can handle that, the rest is straightforward: meet at 35560 Tinajo, fly for about 20–25 minutes in the air on the rollercoaster option, and come home with photos and videos.

If you’re ready for a bucket-list view without a steep learning curve, this one belongs on your shortlist.
