Things to Do in Granada

See Granada from the sky

You have walked through the Alhambra, got lost in the narrow streets of the Albaicín and enjoyed tapas at sunset. Now try the plan most visitors never get to do: fly over Granada in a tandem paraglider.

Just a few minutes from the city centre, you take off with a certified pilot and glide over the Granada valley, with views of the Alhambra, the city and the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada. No experience needed: your pilot takes care of everything and you simply enjoy the flight.

The perfect plan for…

A tandem paragliding flight is much more than an activity. It is the moment everyone remembers from the trip, and the best excuse to celebrate something special.

A gift they will never forget

Forget another object that ends up in a drawer. Book the flight in the name of the person you want to surprise, choose the day and give them an experience. If plans change, the date can be moved up to 5 days before the flight.

Company events and team building

A team day nobody will forget: the whole team flying over Granada, one after another, and the videos to share back at the office. Tell us how many you are and we will organise it for you.

Birthdays

Celebrate another year in the air. Surprise the birthday person with a flight, or turn it into a group plan and fly together. The video of the flight is included, so the celebration goes straight to social media.

Hen and stag parties

Looking for a hen or stag party plan with a real rush of adrenaline? Fly over Granada with your friends and take the video home as proof. Write to us and we will help you organise the day.

Marriage proposals

Want to pop the question somewhere unforgettable? We help you prepare the surprise: the best moment, the right spot and the video to keep it forever. You both fly together, at the same time, and at sunset the setting is simply magical.

Couples, friends and family

Sharing the flight makes it even better. Couples always fly together, at the same time, side by side. Coming with friends or family? We organise the flights so the whole group shares the day. Any occasion worth celebrating is a good reason to fly.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the flights take place?

Our main launch site is in Cenes de la Vega, just a few minutes from the centre of Granada. We confirm the exact meeting point when you book.

Do I need experience or to be very fit?

No. Anyone can fly as a passenger: you just follow your pilot’s instructions and take a few steps at take-off. The only exception is the Hike & Fly, which includes a mountain walk.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Paragliding depends on the weather, and safety always comes first. If we cannot fly on your day, we offer you a new date; if no date suits you, you get a full refund.

Can I give a flight as a gift?

Yes. Book it in the name of the person you want to surprise and choose the day. If plans change, the date can be moved up to 5 days before the flight.

We are a group or a company. Can you organise it?

Of course. Write to us on WhatsApp, tell us how many you are and what you are celebrating, and we will prepare a plan for your group.
