ABOUT

Fly with Paraholic Tenerife!

Welcome to Paraholic Tenerife! (Paraholic: noun: a person suffering from a chronic love or addiction to paragliding)
That´s us or as an ancient wise man once said: Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

Because we belong there.

And because of that, what could feel more satisfying and joyful than spending time outdoors in the paragliding world, checking forecasts, taking you flying around beautiful Tenerife, and seeing that magical glow of happiness in your eyes and a huge smile at the end of the day!

My name is Oana Matei, and I’m a Paraholic. I have been living and flying in Tenerife since 2010 because all those flying flags on the Tenerife´s map made it look like a paragliding paradise. It definitely is! Plus, the beautiful ocean, nature, and the warm temperatures all year rock!
Sharing now with you the passion and knowledge of flying in Tenerife.

The guided paragliding tours and coaching services are available every year from November 1st to April 30th, this being the time of the year with the best flying conditions.

What My Clients Say
winter thermal flying
“The perfect organized, relaxing, comfortable, friendly and secure flying holidays.”
Karl, Switzerland

“It was my third time paragliding in Tenerife. I had three different guides so far. If you are looking for the perfect organized, relaxing, comfortable, friendly and secure flying holidays, that´s with Oana for sure. She does a perfect job, brings you to the best flyable spots on the island and gives you all the information you need to have a joyful, secure and long flight. We have seen a lot of local places you will never find without her (not only take-offs and landings). Thank you very much for your outstanding service!”
