Gyroplane Fly Experience over Fuerteventura
EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION
You will get a totally different experience from flying in an airliner, due to the semi enclosed cockpit of the autogiro. The fixed wing ultralight also offers a superb outside vision, due to the fully transparent doors & top.
Our flight school instructor teach and promotes flying in the island.
In our gyroplane you can visit the most interesting landscapes of the island, depending which flight you choose: Malpais Grande, Tindaya, El Cotillo, Lobos Island among other magic palces.
Those are some of the amazing places you can admire from above. The average flight altitude is 200 m above ground.
What is an autogiro or gyroplane?
Gyroplane is an airplane visually similar to a helicopter. The main difference is that it flies always on autorotation, this means that its blades move always due to the air passing through them upwards, even if the engine is at minimum throttle.
It flies comfortably even in gusty winds. It is one of the most stable airplanes.
This makes a pleasant flight for the passenger.

I saw a couple of the gyroplanes in Cotillo and Corralejo and as I’ve always wanted in all my 28 years coming to Fuerteventura to fly around the north with my camera I just had to look how to do it. I researched under Gyroexperiece, saw I could book so I did. I was a bit disappointed I could only go the following Friday only as they only run Friday, Saturday and Sunday but I booked anyway for Friday, paid deposit. A hour later I got a call from them asking if I could go that day, Monday. I said I could so we drove down to the aerodrome near Antigua, following the sat nav instruction I was sent. I had the best time. The pilot, Daniel I think, talked me through everything and kept me informed as to where we were and I got some fabulous photos. One if the best experiences and would highly recommend this as a bucket list to do item. I was never scared and was surprised how smooth the flight was. The only thing I was disappointed in was the cloud came down which spoilt the colours of the sea and views but still brilliant. We always hire a car here so it wasn’t a problem for us to go but those staying in resorts might be put off by cost to get to aerodrome but that’s maybe something to think about picking people up would expand your customer base. Fantastic day out and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much.

We arrived at the aerodrome for 10:00 am as booked online through the Canary Experience platform but no one was there. After three attempts of phoning the number in the e-ticket i got through to someone who had not recieved the confirmation e-mail. He did however point out that i was supposed to phone this number as soon as i recieved the e-ticket, i had not read the e-ticket, i knew what i had booked and where i was going and was very busy enjoying my holiday. So my fault and maybe a lack of clarity upon the initial booking ie; PLEASE PHONE THE NUMBER PROVIDED ON THE E-TICKET WHEN YOU RECIEVE IT and bad comunication between the operator and agent. The problem was quickly resolved by the pleasant operator who rescheduled for 4:00 pm later that day and an unforgetable experience was had by all. I very much recomend this experience, you can see a different side to the island from above and i am sure like us you will find it quite thrilling. No one felt scared at all and the pilot was very friendly and thorough, you knew you were in safe hands. In a nutshell, fantastic!! we would do it again.
Megan
you are in the air with 360º views, there is no cabin that prevents you from seeing, it is unforgettable, the pilot is very kind and friendly
Willy
