Key details
Tenerife from a unique perspective
It is the only activity in the catalogue that shows you something you cannot see any other way: Teide's crater from above, the Los Gigantes cliffs seen over the edge and the Masca gorge winding through the rock. From the ground you see walls; from the air you see the shape of the island, which is a volcano with slopes falling into the Atlantic on every side. Photos do not convey that, and it is what justifies the price.
They range from the 7-minute run along the south coast to the 40-minute route crossing the National Park, Los Gigantes, Garachico and the north. Here is the advice that saves us arguments: the 7 minutes almost always feels short and people come away feeling they paid to take off and land. If the budget allows, step up to a mid-length route. And if you already have a Teide day booked by road, pick a coast-and-cliffs route rather than the one repeating the volcano: you will see new things instead of the same from another angle.
It carries 2 to 4 passengers, so you fly privately and do not share the cabin with strangers. From age 5. We also arrange custom flights for proposals, anniversaries and private groups, which is what we get asked for most: if that is your case, tell us when booking and we will work out the route and timing with Helidream.
Available routes
- South Coast Route (7 min) — €121/person: The shortest: La Caleta, Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos from the air, returning along the coast. It feels brief if this is your only flight.
- Beaches and Ravines Route (10 min) — €175/person: Adds relief to the previous one: over the Roque del Conde, Barranco del Infierno, Taucho and El Puertito. The first one that starts to feel worth it.
- Los Gigantes Route (18 min) — €325/person: The cliffs one: Costa Adeje, Puerto de Santiago and Los Gigantes, with Teide behind. If you only do one, this is probably it.
- Isla Baja Route (25 min) — €473/person: Towards the north-west: Alcalá, Santiago del Teide, the Teno massif, Buenavista del Norte and Garachico, returning over the Corona Forestal.
- Gran Teide Luxury Route (40 min) — €600/person: The full one, 40 minutes: Puerto de Santiago, Buenavista del Norte, Garachico, La Orotava, Güímar and back over the Corona Forestal and Vilaflor. Half the island in one flight.

Frequently asked questions
Are there weight or age restrictions?
There are weight limits for safety and load distribution, which we confirm at booking depending on who is flying. Under-18s go with an adult and it is recommended from age 5. There is no upper age limit for adults, but if you have a specific medical condition, mention it beforehand and we will check with Helidream.
What if the weather is bad that day?
The pilot decides, and it is not up for debate: if conditions are not right, you do not fly. In that case we reschedule for another day of your stay or refund you in full. Which is why you should not leave it for the last day: if it is your only possible date and the weather fails, you miss out.
Can it be given as a surprise gift?
Yes, and it is half of what we get asked for on this one. We prepare a gift voucher and coordinate the details with Helidream so the other person does not find out until the moment. If it is a proposal, tell us when booking: some routes work better than others for that and the pilot can help.
Is the price per person or per helicopter?
Per person, on a small group flight of 2 to 4 passengers. If you want the whole helicopter to yourselves or there are more of you, we check with Helidream and quote you the private rate. For a proposal or an anniversary, private is usually worth it.
