Dual-Seat Paragliding Flight at Dos Hermanas, El Hierro

Context The summit of Dos Hermanas on El Hierro, situated between 600 and 1200 meters above sea level, is one of Spain’s most favorable locations for paragliding. Consistently strong trade winds create ideal flying conditions, enabling extended flights and smooth aerial maneuvers above the El Golfo Valley. As the paraglider ascends, the air carries the scent of volcanic vegetation, enhancing the natural immersion of the experience. ">The Experience"> After arrival and equipment check, you’ll be transported to the launch site at the mountain’s peak. During the motorless dual-flight, you’ll run a few meters to launch, feeling the steady trade wind gently lift you into the sky. For 15 to 45 minutes, you’ll glide silently or with optional motor power, enjoying panoramic views of Arenas Blancas beach and the Salmor rock formations. The landing occurs safely in Frontera, near the local bus station, completing the journey with peaceful stillness and the island’s natural beauty beneath you. ">For Whom"> This activity suits individuals in moderate physical condition who can briefly run to launch and remain seated during flight. It’s ideal for travelers seeking a calm, nature-focused aerial adventure with reliable weather and long seasonal availability. ">Local Context"> El Hierro is recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark and a leader in sustainable tourism. The local community, especially in Frontera, preserves deep-rooted traditions tied to the land and sea, enriching the flight experience with cultural authenticity and environmental respect.
