Tenerife's beaches have long been associated with water sports because the island enjoys consistent temperatures and a climate envied throughout the peninsula throughout most of the year.

On Tenerife's coast, water sports are growing increasingly popular and there are many options available. You can go jet skiing, kayaking, and the fun banana boat, perfect for friends and families every season. Parascending is one of these exciting sports that combine the best of skydiving and the finest of water skiing to provide you with a complete experience between the sky and the sea in which you will sail from the heights along the most beautiful coasts of the island.

Parascending is one of the most popular activities among both inhabitants and visitors, as the island's offerings are plentiful. Parascending is available on some of Tenerife's top beaches, including Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, and the northern beaches of La Orotava.

Where to go parasailing in Tenerife?

• Parascending in the Costa de Adeje: From Puerto Colón, you can board one of these aquatic parachutes and fly to the famed Costa de Adeje in the island's southwest corner. You'll begin your tour of the famous Tenerife coast's several beaches.

When the boat takes off, you will see the Playa de la Pinta, where you can see the rooftops of the hotels and the enormous blanket of loungers running from this beach to the neighbouring beach, Playa de Los Bobos, will be the first thing you notice as the boat lifts off and ascends into the Canarian skies.

As you continue towards the north, you will reach Playa del Duque. You will be greeted by tourists at the Javier Perez Ramos viewpoint, who will be envious of your wonderful adventure.

From viewpoint to viewpoint, you'll eventually arrive at the Palomas viewpoint, adjacent to Ermelada beach, which is known for its black volcanic sand blanket. Before your return journey, La Caleta will be waiting to greet you with open arms.

You will no longer be able to see the tourist buildings of Costa Adeje. Instead, you will connect with the natural spaces of the Costa Adeje, through the cliffs that protect it at La Caleta and find yourself matching their height of over 80 meters.

• Parasailing in Playa de las Américas: To the south of Costa Adeje, you have another fantastic option to go parasailing, this time from the famed Playa de las Américas, where you will be able to go around the southern portion of the island. From this beach, head south, where the first thing that will amaze you, after the magnificent sensation of parascending over the Canary Islands' waters, will be the incredible hotels that occupy the Playa del Camisón and Playa de las Vistas, which are among the island's most charismatic.

Continue on to Los Cristianos Beach, where you'll see hundreds of people performing other water activities like kayaking or riding a jetski, where they can feel the speed just like you, but envy your views just as much.

You will continue on to the wildest part of this visit from the heights, travelling along the endless cliffs that run along the coast from the beach of Los Callados to Palm-Mar. Here, you can see the divers diving in the coves that are found on the coast and see the marvellous landscapes offered by this part of the region such as the natural coves in the area like La Arenita.

• Parasailing in La Orotava: This area is located to the north of the island, and the parasailing experience will take you up to 30 metres high on one of the most beautiful coasts of the island. Admire the scenery as the boat will make you fly over the beaches near Puerto de la Cruz.

You will be able to see incredible natural landscapes such as the Rambla de Castro protected landscape, which is already a beautiful sight to see from the ground. Imagine witnessing it from the heights, where you will be able to see a landscape rich in vegetation, where palm trees dominate the views in front of the sea, and the cliffs are the home to some of the island's most traditional villages.

You will pass through the waters of gorgeous beaches including Playa del Socorro, Playa de Castro, and Playa del Castillo. You can see the 17th-century San Felipe Castle, a true architectural marvel. As if that weren't enough, you will also pass through Punta Brava's Loro Parque.

Why is it that the coast of Tenerife is ideal for seeing from above?

Exploring Tenerife and its beaches while participating in an exciting activity like parasailing is a golden opportunity. When you visit the island's beaches from a height of over 80-90 meters, you will witness a magical sight • gorgeous views of the shore and unforgettable scenery.

On one hand, you can see the Teide from various spots, which will be an enriching experience. On the other hand, you can spot nearby islands like La Gomera or La Palma on clear days. It would be a mistake if we forget to mention what it's like to sail offshore and have the entire Atlantic Ocean at your feet.

When the boat draws up, you will get a chance to disembark on Tenerife's coasts, so parascending is much more than an aquatic activity. It is getting to know a beautiful island from a unique point of view, accompanied by a cocktail of sensations that will be impossible to put into words.
