Description

Context The panoramic helicopter flight over Tenerife provides a unique aerial perspective of the island’s southern coastline, stretching from Adeje to the towering Los Gigantes cliffs. This scenic region blends sandy beaches, traditional fishing villages, and dramatic natural formations. Flights operate at low altitudes, allowing passengers to clearly observe landscape details and natural features. Routes are adjusted in real time based on weather conditions to ensure both safety and optimal visibility.

The experience You’ll board a light helicopter for an aerial journey lasting between 8 and 35 minutes, depending on the selected package. The engine produces a soft hum that blends with the wind as you glide over golden beaches, rugged coastlines, and the historic fishing village of La Caleta. From the air, you may spot marine turtles in the waters near Puertito—rarely seen on standard ground tours. The combination of moderate speed and low altitude creates a peaceful, exhilarating sensation of freedom and calm.

For whom This activity suits travelers seeking a quick yet detailed aerial view of Tenerife, couples, small groups, and nature enthusiasts. It is also suitable for guests with limited mobility, provided they can remain seated during the flight. Not recommended for those with acrophobia or high sensitivity to noise.

Local context Tenerife’s southern coast is a region of exceptional natural and touristic value, home to traditional fishing towns like La Caleta and striking geological features such as Los Gigantes, shaped by volcanic activity. The local community balances tourism with conservation, protecting natural reserves while maintaining cultural heritage. This harmony between tradition and modernity defines the area’s unique character.
