Scenic Tenerife Helicopter Flight
Helicopter, 7–40 minutes · from Adeje
★4.8 from 341 and a pilot score of 4.9 — people come off this delighted. Two lines decide whether you should book it, and neither is in the highlights: the activity is non-refundable, and the cabin is shared unless you pay for all four seats.
What each length actually reaches
Route options exactly as the operator lists them, read 15 September 2026. Our €110 is the shortest of them; the rest cost more.
What is in the €110
Los Gigantes and Teide from the ground
The detail behind the verdict
Everything else we review on this island gives you twenty-four hours to change your mind. This one gives you none — the cancellation policy is a single sentence saying the activity is non-refundable. Book it for a day you are certain of, and understand that weather does not cancel it either: the operator says a bad forecast changes the route while keeping the contracted minutes and kilometres, so you fly somewhere, just perhaps not where you chose. The second line worth finding is about the cabin.
Four seats, and your flight may be shared with strangers; a private flight means buying all four tickets. For two people that quietly doubles the price of privacy. Then pick a length honestly. €110 buys seven minutes over the south coast, which is a look rather than a flight; the ladder runs through ten minutes of beaches and ravines, eighteen over Los Gigantes, twenty-five to Isla Baja and forty for the Teide route. If the cliffs are what you came for, eighteen minutes is where this starts being worth the money.
Allow ninety minutes for the whole visit whatever you book — briefing and boarding are most of it. One muddle: the page quotes the flight length four different ways — 7 to 45 in the header, 7 to 40 in the description, 8 to 45 in the small print, and a longest option of 40. And one thing the page never mentions that guests keep asking about: photographs and video are sold on the day.
Questions about this flight
Is the Tenerife helicopter flight worth it?
★4.8 from 341 says people love it, and the pilots score 4.9. Whether it is worth it to you depends on the length you buy: €110 is seven minutes over the resorts, and the flight that earns its money is the eighteen-minute one over Los Gigantes.
Can I cancel?
No. The cancellation policy is one line: the activity is non-refundable. Everything else we review on this island gives you twenty-four hours; this gives you nothing.
What happens if the weather is bad?
You still fly. The operator states that an unfavourable forecast changes the route while keeping the contracted minutes and kilometres — so the flight happens, possibly somewhere other than the one you picked.
Is the flight private?
Not by default. The cabin holds four and may be shared with other customers; a private flight means buying all four tickets. For a couple that is a significant extra.
Which route should I choose?
Los Gigantes at eighteen minutes, if you are choosing on value. The seven- and ten-minute flights stay over the resort coast; twenty-five minutes reaches Isla Baja and forty covers the Teide route.
How long does the whole thing take?
Up to ninety minutes including the briefing and boarding, whichever flight you book. Plan the day around that rather than around the flight time.
How long is the flight exactly?
The page gives four different answers — 7 to 45 minutes in the header, 7 to 40 in the description, 8 to 45 in the small print, and a longest listed option of 40. Go by the option you book, which states its own length.
Are photos included?
No, and the listing does not mention them at all. Guests ask repeatedly for clearer information about what photographs and video cost, which tells you they are offered on the day.
What do I need to bring?
A passport or ID card. There is nothing else to bring and nothing else included.
Where does it leave from?
Adeje, and it returns to the same pad. The meeting point varies with the option you book, so check it when you choose the route.
