How does a helicopter tour of Tenerife work?
Once you've booked your flight, we'll take you to your chosen airfield, either on your own or by shuttle from your hotel.
Pre-departure instructions
The pilot will welcome you on the tarmac and introduce you to the helicopter in which you'll be taking your first flight. He'll remind you of the itinerary, briefly explain how the machine works and give you a short briefing on the flight. Finally, he'll give you all the safety instructions.
Placement in the helicopter and handover of equipment
Once inside the helicopter, the pilot will show you the instrument panel, explaining here and there some of the functions of the joysticks and other buttons. He'll then invite you to make yourself comfortable in the back of the helicopter, and hand you a two-way headset to put on your head. With its built-in microphone, the headset will enable you to communicate easily with the pilot.
Take-off and flight
Then you can take off and admire the scenery. If you're worried about vertigo, don't be: there's no such thing as dizziness in a helicopter. So relax and enjoy the flight. The pilot will give you tourist information as you fly over the island's landmarks. Don't forget to take your camera, or get out your smartphone to capture the moment from the air.
The end of the flight and the return to terra firma
Then it's off to the heliport. Once on the tarmac, you'll return the helmet to the pilot. You'll be offered a complimentary drink on the ground while you discuss your sensations with the crew, before parting and returning to your hotel with your head full of beautiful images of Tenerife.

What are the best helicopter tours in Tenerife?
Flying over the island in a helicopter is a real treat. This type of excursion, open to the whole family, offers memorable sensations and a different way of exploring the pirate island. Here's our selection of the best helicopter tours on Tenerife:
Along the south coast from Adeje
From the Adeje heliport, take off for a 10-15 minute flight in a 4-seater helicopter along the Costa Adeje in the south of Tenerife. Head for La Caleta and its port area, where you can observe turtles in their natural habitat. Then on to the palm-fringed green terrain of Golf Adeje.
The pilot will continue the itinerary over the famous Playa de Las Américas and Los Cristianos. He'll tell you a few interesting anecdotes about the island, making your experience even more unique.

Helicopter tour of beaches and ravines
It's a 30 km (10-12 minute) helicopter ride from Adeje! From the sky, you'll have a perfect view of the enormous lava flow that has shaped the Guaza mountain as it flows into the ocean. Nearby, the majestic peak of Teide rises proudly just to impress you!
Mountains, ravines, the sea... a breathtaking landscape awaits you.

Helicopter tour of Los Gigantes
But what will surely impress you most are the many ravines that litter the tourist coastline. Seen from the air, the enormous cliffs of Los Gigantes appear even more mystical. Head to Los Gigantes for a 15-20 minute helicopter tour. The distance covered from the air is 50 km.
This part of the island is one of the wildest and steepest. Keep your eyes peeled, as you're likely to spot dolphins and whales swimming peacefully in the ocean waters. On the way back, another surprise awaits you: Las Cañadas del Teide National Park. The island's icon!
