Gran Canaria, Spain · up to 1 guests · €80 per person · ES
We had a good flight along the coastline of Los Colorados with beautiful views. The experienced pilot made the morning complete. I also recommend the flight over Los Giles. A very beautiful experience. You have to experience it if you are on Gran Canaria.
What is this tour like?
Despegue Parapente flies from the Carretera del Rincón side of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and its Vuelo Standard is the entry product: a panoramic two-seat flight with a pilot, described by the operator as 'ideal for trying paragliding', with photos included and no previous experience needed. The price is 'from €80' — the operator's own wording, which we keep. Two higher tiers, Vuelo Plata with manoeuvres and video and a Pack Completo with pickup and video, are listed without a price ('ask').
The company holds a perfect 5.0 on Google from 127 reviews as of 3 September 2026. Reviewers describe flights along the Los Colorados coastline and over Los Giles, and name Chris and Kevin as the pilots; a group of three first-timers write that they felt welcome and, more importantly, safe. The site is Spanish-only, so Spanish is the confirmed service language, though the reviews quoted are written in English. No duration is published, so we do not quote one.
