About this experience

Drone Photography in Frontera is a guided aerial filming session based in the municipality of Frontera, on the island of El Hierro. The activity takes off from the village centre and covers the surrounding cliffs, vineyards, and the El Golfo valley. Pilots receive a briefing on local airspace restrictions and then fly over designated coastal and rural zones.

What to expect

Session lasts 90 minutes, including a 20-minute pre-flight safety and route briefing with a licensed drone pilot.
A DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone with a 4/3 CMOS sensor is provided, along with two spare batteries and ND filters.
You will fly over the La Frontera cliff edge and the Las Puntas coastline, capturing the volcanic rock formations and the Atlantic swell.
The package includes a 16 GB SD card with your raw footage and edited 4K clips, delivered via USB at the end of the session.
Suitable for beginners and intermediate pilots; no prior drone licence is required as the guide holds the necessary permits.
The flight path avoids the Garoé protected laurel forest and the Risco de Tibataje nature reserve, keeping to open agricultural land.
