Description:
Paramotor is a motorised paraglider geared with back engines. Very minimal physical requirement (i.e.: running) is needed for takeoff and landing in this powered-paragliding activity. This makes paramotor one of the safest flying activities. Another advantage of paratrike is that it does not rely on wind, allowing better control on height and duration of the flight.
The flight time is approximately 25 minutes, but please allow 1 hour for the whole experience which includes transfer time to flight zone, briefing and gearing up etc. Your experienced pilot will take good care of everything as you fly over the Las Canteras beach and the breathtaking coastline of Las Palmas.
In the absence of the regular trade wind (alisio), it is still possible to paraglide in other places in northern Gran Canaria. These places include the areas of Laja or Agaete that are also magnificent, where you get to fly along the Silva bridge or enjoy the view of the Agaete port from a very unique perspective. On days with rain, we will opt to paratrike in the south.
There are no age requirements to enjoy paramotor. There is a weight requirement of a maximum of 115kg for each participant or 145kg for individual who is tall, fit and athletic. The ride is possible also for people with functional diversity (please check with us first).
Paratrike is ideal as a gift, birthday, anniversary, hen do or bachelor celebration. It will be a memory you'll remember for a long time.
Our friendly and experienced guides speak English and Spanish.
