About this experience

La Orotava sits in a lush valley on Tenerife's northern coast, framed by the towering Teide volcano. Helicopter tours here offer a rare perspective of this historic town, where colonial mansions and botanical gardens nestle against dramatic cliffs. From the air, the patchwork of banana plantations and vineyards reveals the island's agricultural heartbeat.

Flying over La Orotava, the ancient dragon trees and the iconic Casa de los Balcones become tiny details in a vast, green landscape. The tour glides along the Orotava Valley, with its deep ravines and terraced slopes, before sweeping toward the coastline. The contrast between the emerald hills and the deep blue Atlantic is unforgettable.

These helicopter experiences provide a window into Tenerife's untamed beauty, far from crowded beaches. Pilots share local stories, pointing out hidden villages and volcanic craters. For those seeking a genuine connection with the island's soul, this is a journey that leaves a lasting impression.

Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply craving adventure, a helicopter tour in La Orotava delivers. The wind in your hair and the vastness below create a moment of pure wonder. This is Tenerife seen through the eyes of a local, from a vantage point few ever experience.
