About this experience

See Tenerife from a perspective few visitors experience during a helicopter tour in Playa de las Américas. Swoop over the golden beaches and volcanic landscapes that define this vibrant resort town, with the Atlantic stretching endlessly to the horizon. The rotor's hum fades as the pilot points out hidden coves, the rugged cliffs of Los Gigantes, and the lunar-like terrain of Teide National Park. It is a chance to grasp the island's dramatic geology and the vibrant life along its southern coast, all from above.

Playa de las Américas is your launchpad for an unforgettable flight, with expert pilots who know every thermal and landmark. Short flights offer a quick taste of the coastline, while longer tours venture inland over pine forests and ancient lava flows. Each seat provides clear views through large windows, and noise-canceling headsets ensure you hear every commentary detail. This is not a tourist trap; it is a genuine encounter with Tenerife's raw beauty.

The experience appeals to those who want more than a beach day—adventurers, photographers, and families seeking a memorable moment. Flights typically last 15 to 45 minutes, with options for private charters or shared groups. Booking in advance is wise, especially during peak season, as these tours fill quickly. After landing, the thrill lingers, and you will see Playa de las Américas with new eyes, understanding how the land meets the sea in such a dramatic way.
