About this experience

Helicopter tours in El Médano offer a breathtaking perspective on Tenerife's southern coastline. From the air, the iconic red mountain of Montaña Roja rises dramatically against turquoise waters, while the famous windsurfing beaches stretch endlessly below. This is not your typical tourist flyover—locals know that El Médano’s unique landscape, shaped by volcanic forces and trade winds, is best appreciated from above.

Experienced pilots guide guests over the rugged cliffs of the Costa del Silencio and the golden sands of Playa de la Tejita, revealing hidden coves and lava formations inaccessible by foot. The short flight packs in views of the distant Teide volcano and the sprawling resort areas, but El Médano remains the star—its laid-back vibe and natural beauty are unmistakable from the sky.

For those seeking an authentic experience, these tours avoid gimmicks. Each helicopter is maintained to the highest safety standards, and pilots share local stories about the region’s history and ecology. Whether it’s a 15-minute intro flight or a longer coastal adventure, the feeling of floating above El Médano’s windswept shores is unforgettable.

This is a chance to see Tenerife as the birds do—no queues, no crowds, just pure, unobstructed views. Perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers who want a unique memory beyond the beach.

What to expect

  • Board a modern helicopter with panoramic windows for maximum visibility.
  • Fly over Montaña Roja and the vibrant salt flats of El Médano.
