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
paragliding holiday
“Wonderful experience!”
Dominique and Elena, Austria

“Heartful, caring, knowledgeable, sunshine. The first 4 adjectives that came to my mind when I think at our wonderful time, we had with Oana. She brought us always to the best places to fly, no matter how much driving it was. Whoever is at the take-off, no matter what skill level the pilot has, she turns the flight into a rememberable moment – which can also imply that you are not starting but ground handling instead. It is not an easy job to satisfy everybody from beginner to professional, but she really did well. She keeps the herd of flying sheep’s small, so that she can take care of everybody – generating a family like experience. For Oana, a flying day will not end by bringing all of us back to our accommodations. Most of the time, we were heading all together to a restaurant to eat fantastic local food for a decent price, far away from crowded touristic places. Papas arrugadas, fresh seafood, just to mention a few. To sum-up, if you are looking for a personal guiding experience, a lot of flying time in a wonderful place, willing to learn to adapt to a different environment – Tenerife is definitely not the alps but a beautiful island with 46 micro climates, listening to the caretaking advices of Oana, you will have a superb time on Tenerife, I guarantee. Thank you very much Oana for this wonderful experience.”

“Absolutely great!”
Peter, Switzerland

“Sensationell! Awesome! Oana finds always a spot to fly, escape the cloudy weather and delivers the opportunity to fly for unexperienced pilots as well. She exactly knows where to fly and later land in safe spots. She motivates the more experienced pilots to fly distance and retrieves them in a short time. If desired there are often 3-4 flights a day. Or a flight for 3-4 hours.
And she knows the best restaurants for dinner and makes a good companionship.
It’s absolutely great to join her. (I fly since 1986). “

“Oana will be the perfect guide!”
Stephane, Switzerland

“If you are looking for someone that can optimize your chance to fly around Tenerife island, Oana is the right person. She is very committed, ready to drive all around the island to find the best take-off every day.
Even when I was tired, and I was willing to rest the next day, she contacted me the next morning to suggest a program for the day, which was always cool and I could not decline….
She is a very kind person, drives carefully, reliable and always on time like a Swiss cuckoo clock at pick up time. In addition, she knows excellent restaurants, away from the touristic routes.
If you want to enjoy the best what Tenerife can offer to a paragliding pilot, Oana will be the perfect guide”
