Abubila
Abubila was born from the unexpected encounter between a tandem paraglider pilot and his passenger. A passion shared by one, a passion born for the other.
Having a common vision, we have decided to share with you our passion for sports on this magical island of Lanzarote.
It is in the respect of our values with a sense of warm welcome that we will make you discover the magic of Lanzarote through the sporting activities that we love and practice.
The name Abubila is inspired by the Spanish name of a bird that can be seen on the Canary Islands.
It is endowed on the head with a plume of erectile feathers like a fan. It is unique, especially for the erratic flight that resembles that of a giant butterfly.
In classical Chinese poetry, the hoopoe is described as a heavenly messenger who often brings news about the advent of spring. The hoopoe is considered auspicious in China thanks to its unique beauty.
Our team
We are a team of passionate professionals. We are committed to sharing all our years of experience with you.
We like to fly like birds, cycle around the island, look at the horizon, live in the moment, surf the ocean waves, and enjoy our friends. Every day we feel the energy of this volcanic island that we love.
MIGUEL
The Local Guy…
Born in Lanzarote, he is one of the youngest paragliding pilots on the island. Passionate about the world of free flight, in love with nature and his island.
Co-founder of the company Abubila, he organizes and acts as a coordinator and flight assistant.
If you are lucky, he will make you discover the local beers and will concoct you a good and typical dinner as he is also a cook.
LUC
The Swiss Guy…
Born in the Swiss Alps, he was attracted to mountain sports from a very young age. He obtained his paragliding license at the age of 16 and has never stopped flying since then.
In 2022 he discovered Lanzarote and found a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere to live in. He is your guide and pilot for the Abubila activities.
FABIO
The magician…
Since he was a child he had a passion for what flies and is in the sky. It didn’t take him long to put himself among the clouds.
Italian, actor and illusionist, he is the paraglider pilot who can make the earth disappear from under your feet as if it were real magic!
OUR VALUES
RESPECT FOR NATURE
In a small and wild area like Lanzarote, you become even more aware of the impact of human activities on nature. We admire the landscape and do our best to act in an eco-sustainable way.
The choice of activities is not taken lightly. Paragliding, biking, surfing, kayaking… they all go towards the same spirit.
At the moment we have chosen a diesel vehicle instead of an electric one. Knowing that, for political reasons, the island’s electricity production is irresponsible, the choice seemed clear.
However, we are reducing the use of our vehicles for our activities as much as possible.
RESPECT YOU
It is important for us to respect your needs, in a good mood. We listen to you and offer you the best activities at the right price. We attach great importance to the quality of the service we offer you.
We charge the same prices all year round. Our price is the one that allows us to keep our company running smoothly and pay our employees decently.
GOOD FRIENDSHIP
Sharing our passions in idyllic locations and leaving you with a lasting memory of your experience with Abubila is our goal.
We share our activities with pleasure in a relaxed atmosphere. Through new encounters and new experiences, we want you to leave with a smile, full of energy, and new friends.
LANZAROTE – the best of the Canary Islands
Lanzarote, located near the African coast, is known for its warm climate, beaches, and volcanic landscapes.
This island has an incredible diversity of scenery. Enjoy the beautiful beaches and crystal clear water of the south at Playa Blanca, or the wind-protected beaches of Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen.
Admire the red volcanoes and lava fields of Timanfaya National Park, the great surf waves at La Santa, the sandy desert (el Jable), and the surfing beach of Famara.
Hike the magnificent Caldera Blanca and Corona volcanoes. Further north, Haria with its 1000 palm trees, its spring flowering landscapes, or the white sandy beach of Orzola.
In terms of culture and architecture, César Manrique has left his mark on the history of Lanzarote.
Visit the various atypical places such as the César Manrique Foundation, the Mirador del Rio, Jameos del Agua or the Jardín de Cactus.
Lanzarote is an enclave for the development of all kinds of sporting activities, from water sports to air sports such as paragliding.
The weather conditions are ideal for sports all year round. From September to April, during the cold season in the north, there are endless activities to do in Lanzarote.
One example is paragliding, which is a key way to discover the island’s incredible sites from the air.
