There are now five distinct Costa Adeje paragliding formats to compare on Fly To Canarias. Standard is the easiest first flight, PLUS adds more scenic airtime, Premium is the longest scenic format, High Performance focuses on thermal flying, and Acrobatic is for stronger manoeuvres.
The key differences are not just price. Airtime ranges from about 15–20 minutes to 40–45 minutes, transport arrangements vary, and two products — PLUS and Premium — currently have no selectable dates on this listing even though they remain useful, differentiated flight formats for planning and comparison.
Prices, availability and product details checked on 11 September 2026. Paragliding is weather-dependent, so actual airtime, launch point, route and landing plan can change for safety.

Which Tenerife paragliding flight should you choose?
Choose Standard if this is your first flight and you want the simplest currently bookable option with selected-area hotel pickup and drop-off.
Choose PLUS if 15–20 minutes sounds too short and you want a middle-duration scenic format. Its listed 25–30 minutes sits neatly between Standard and Premium, with selected-area pickup and drop-off. At the moment, dates are not selectable through this listing.
Choose Premium when time in the air matters most. Its listed 40–45 minute format is the longest scenic option in the Kangaroo Tandem lineup and is designed around extended thermal flying when conditions allow. Dates are not currently selectable through this listing.
Choose High Performance if you want the strongest currently bookable compromise between price and longer scenic airtime. Its listed 20–30 minutes focus on thermal flying rather than acrobatics.
Choose Acrobatic if wingovers, spins and stronger sensations are the point of the experience. The extra cost is for flight style, not for maximum duration.
Standard vs PLUS vs Premium
These three Kangaroo Tandem products form the clearest duration ladder. Standard is the shorter introduction, PLUS extends the scenic portion to a listed 25–30 minutes, and Premium stretches the format to a listed 40–45 minutes when thermal conditions support it. All three emphasize scenic tandem flying rather than acrobatic manoeuvres, and the current terms include selected-area pickup and drop-off.
The practical catch is availability. Standard is currently available, while PLUS and Premium do not currently show selectable dates in the Fly To Canarias catalogue. That does not make the longer formats identical or obsolete: they answer different search and planning questions, but you should not build a fixed itinerary around them until booking dates appear.
PLUS vs High Performance
PLUS and High Performance overlap most closely on duration. PLUS lists 25–30 minutes and includes selected-area pickup and drop-off; High Performance lists 20–30 minutes and currently requires you to meet locally before the included transfer to the launch area.
If both are available for your dates, PLUS is attractive for easier logistics and a defined middle position in the Standard–PLUS–Premium ladder. High Performance is the practical choice today because it is currently bookable and specifically emphasizes thermal flying.
Premium vs Acrobatic
Premium and Acrobatic serve opposite priorities. Premium is about spending longer in the air and seeing more of the Adeje landscape. Acrobatic is about controlled dynamic manoeuvres, with listed airtime of roughly 15–20 minutes. Do not treat Acrobatic as a higher tier of Premium: they are different products for different motivations.
Hotel pickup vs meeting point
Transport can change which ticket is actually more convenient. Standard, PLUS and Premium use selected-area pickup and drop-off under their current product terms. High Performance and Acrobatic instead require a local meeting in the Costa Adeje / Playa de la Enramada area, with transfer from the meeting point to take-off included.

How weather changes the comparison
Paragliding is not a fixed-route attraction. Wind direction, wind strength and thermal conditions affect launch point, altitude, route, airborne time and landing plan. A listed 25–30 or 40–45 minute format describes the intended experience; it is not a guarantee that the maximum airtime will be possible every day.
This matters most for PLUS, Premium and High Performance, because their value proposition depends more heavily on extended thermal flying. The pilot can shorten, adapt or reschedule a flight when conditions do not support the planned profile.
Best option by traveler type
- First-time and slightly nervous: Standard.
- Want a middle-duration scenic flight with pickup: PLUS when dates return.
- Want the longest scenic flight: Premium when dates return.
- Want more airtime and need something bookable now: High Performance.
- Want the strongest sensations: Acrobatic.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Standard, PLUS and Premium paragliding?
They are mainly differentiated by intended scenic airtime. Standard lists about 15–20 minutes, PLUS 25–30 minutes and Premium 40–45 minutes, subject to weather and safe operating conditions.
Are PLUS and Premium currently bookable?
Not through the current Fly To Canarias listings checked on 11 September 2026. Their pages remain useful for comparing the flight formats, but wait for selectable dates before making fixed plans.
Which option gives the most airtime?
Premium has the longest listed format at 40–45 minutes. Among the currently bookable options, High Performance has the longest listed range at 20–30 minutes.
Which option is best for beginners?
Standard is the clearest first-flight choice. PLUS can also suit a beginner who wants more time in the air when dates are available.
Is High Performance the same as Acrobatic?
No. High Performance prioritizes scenic thermal flying and airtime. Acrobatic prioritizes dynamic manoeuvres such as wingovers and spins.
Is hotel pickup included?
Selected-area pickup and drop-off are included under the current Standard, PLUS and Premium product terms. High Performance and Acrobatic use a local meeting point with transfer to take-off.
Final recommendation
For a simple first flight, start with Standard. If you want a longer scenic experience and PLUS dates return, PLUS is the natural middle step. If maximum scenic airtime is your priority and Premium dates return, choose Premium. For a longer option that is bookable now, High Performance is the practical upgrade. Choose Acrobatic only when the manoeuvres themselves are what you want.
