Tenesar

Tenesar is Lanzarote's wild west coast — a tiny fishing village tucked between black lava cliffs and the Atlantic, on the trade-wind side of the island. The flight here is more about what you'll see than how high you'll go.

Why fly here

• Trade-wind reliability. When the N trades blow clean (roughly 15–32 km/h), Tenesar delivers — long, easy ridge soaring along the cliffs with the wind doing most of the work.
• Lava meets Atlantic. Black volcanic stone, white surf, deep blue ocean. The contrast looks like someone turned up the saturation, and the photos come out the same way.
• Timanfaya at your back. The lava fields of Timanfaya National Park spill toward the coast just a few hundred metres inland — you fly with the volcanic landscape on one side and the ocean on the other, with views over Tinajo and the Volcán de La Santa.
• Low and accessible. Launches sit between 10 and 80 m above sea level — you're flying in the action, not above it. A good fit for visitors who'd rather not start the day at altitude.

What to expect on the day

The road out follows the LZ-402 along the coast — empty, cinematic, volcanoes behind you and ocean ahead. The takeoff is a short walk from the road. Briefing, harness check, launch, and a flight that hugs the cliff line above the rooftops of Tenesar village.

What you'll bring home

A camera roll heavy on cliff edges, white surf, fishing boats far below, and that low-angle Atlantic light you don't get on the south of the island. The kind of footage where people ask whether it was real or shot from a drone.

Best for

Anyone who wants the trade-wind flying experience without altitude exposure, and pilots collecting the most photogenic coastal views on the island. Booking here doesn't lock you into Tenesar — your pilot picks the best site for the day's wind. If conditions line up, this is where you'll fly.
