Helicopter Tour Tenerife

A helicopter tour in Tenerife is a scenic helicopter flight that shows the island from above, including the coastline, mountains, Los Gigantes cliffs, and Teide viewpoints. It is one of the fastest ways to see Tenerife’s landscapes in a short time.

All standard helicopter tours in Tenerife are flown with a Bell 206 Jet Ranger. This helicopter is widely used for sightseeing flights because it is stable, safe, and has large windows for panoramic views.

Helicopter flights in Tenerife last between 7 and 40 minutes, depending on the selected route. Short flights are ideal for first-time visitors, while longer routes offer wider island views and Teide surroundings.

Tenerife helicopter tour prices start from 110€ per person and increase depending on the route length. Longer helicopter excursions in Tenerife cost more due to flight time and distance.

No, helicopters are not allowed to fly directly over Teide National Park or the crater. However, the longest Tenerife helicopter tour offers panoramic views around the Teide area while respecting aviation and environmental regulations.

If you can afford it, a helicopter tour in Tenerife is worth it for the views and experience. It is short but unique. If budget is limited, Tenerife also offers other great excursions, but a helicopter flight is a premium experience.

Yes. Helicopter flights in Tenerife are operated by licensed pilots and follow strict aviation safety rules. All passengers receive a safety briefing before take-off.

Each helicopter flies with one pilot and up to four passengers. Seating is arranged based on weight balance to ensure a safe and smooth helicopter ride in Tenerife.

Yes. If you want the back seats to yourself, you can book three seats for two people. For a fully private helicopter tour in Tenerife, you must contact Club Canary to check availability and receive a private price quote.

Groups larger than four people are split into multiple helicopter flights, usually around 10:00 and 11:00. Larger groups should book in advance so schedules can be arranged properly.

Booking in advance is strongly recommended because helicopter availability changes quickly and the schedule is not always updated live. Club Canary always checks real availability with the operator before confirming your booking and charging your payment. Please note: helicopter bookings have strict cancellation policies. In most cases, cancellations are not free. If you cancel after booking, up to 50% of the paid amount may be lost. Within 48 hours before the flight, cancellations are no longer possible and the full amount is charged. These rules are set by the helicopter operator and apply to all bookings. If you prefer more flexibility, you can contact Club Canary in advance. In some cases, we can temporarily reserve your helicopter tour date and allow you to confirm and pay closer to your travel time (for example, around 1–2 weeks before). Once the booking is confirmed and payment is made, the standard cancellation policy will apply.

Most helicopter tours in Tenerife depart around 10:00 or 11:00, depending on weather and availability. During booking, you can select your preferred departure time.

All helicopter tours depart from Helidream Heliport, Port Adeje. It is about a 10-minute drive from Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas. Taxis usually cost around 10–12€.

It can be cooler inside the helicopter, especially during longer flights. The temperature inside is similar to outside conditions, so bringing a light jacket is recommended.

Yes. You are free to take photos and videos during the helicopter tour. Professional photo and video packages are also available after the flight.

The standard maximum weight per passenger is 110 kg. This is a strict safety rule, not a comfort guideline. Passengers above 110 kg must usually book an extra seat. With Club Canary, we can often offer a more attractive solution: instead of paying for a full extra seat, you may only need to pay around 50% extra. This allows you to have the entire back row for yourself, meaning no one will sit between you. For couples or two people traveling together, this creates a more private and comfortable helicopter experience. In certain situations, an exception may still be possible. For example, if other passengers in your group have a lower weight, or depending on the pilot and total weight distribution on the day. This is never guaranteed and always depends on safety approval, so it is important to double-check with Club Canary in advance. Weight is checked before the flight, and the final decision is made for safety reasons.

Children weighing 15 kg or more can join helicopter tours. Babies under 15 kg can fly when booked together with two adults, which reserves the entire back row.

With Club Canary, you benefit from transparent pricing, flexible booking support, and local assistance before and after your helicopter flight. We also arrange private flights, luxury experiences, and special requests, so you’re dealing with a team that truly knows the helicopter tours in Tenerife.

Yes, helicopter trips in Tenerife are real and available year-round. You can book official sightseeing helicopter flights that depart from Tenerife South and fly along the coast, mountains, Los Gigantes cliffs, and Teide viewpoints. These are licensed helicopter tours, not transfers or gimmicks, and they are operated daily when weather conditions allow.

The maximum weight per passenger is 110 kg. Even being slightly over this limit matters. This is a safety rule, not a comfort rule.

If a passenger is over 110 kg, no one is allowed to sit next to them. In this case, an extra seat is normally required and must be paid.

However, if your weight is very close to the limit (for example between 108–111 kg), it may still be possible depending on the total weight of the group and the pilot’s assessment on the day. This is never guaranteed, so it’s important to double-check with Club Canary in advance.

In most cases, no. This must always be checked with Club Canary in advance.

Weight is checked on the day of the flight, and if the limit is exceeded, an extra seat must be paid before flying. If this has not been arranged in advance, it can cause problems with seating and availability.

If you already know you are over 110 kg, it is important to inform us before booking. Trying to arrange this on the day is risky, especially if other passengers are already assigned. In some cases, the pilot may decide that the flight cannot go ahead for safety reasons, and this could result in not being able to fly without a refund.

To avoid any issues, always double-check your situation with Club Canary before confirming your booking.

We understand it can be annoying to pay more just because you slightly cross a weight limit, but this is a fixed safety policy. In certain situations, we may offer a middle solution where you book a total of three seats and fly privately, even though the helicopter can normally carry four passengers. This guarantees that no other passengers will join you. This option is not automatic and must always be checked and approved by Club Canary before booking.

In most cases, yes. We always try to seat couples and families together, and for bookings like two adults with a child, sitting together is almost always possible.

However, seating depends on weight balance for safety. In some cases, especially if there is a large weight difference, one person may need to sit in the front and the other in the back. This is decided by the pilot to keep the helicopter stable.

For safety reasons, weight must be balanced inside the helicopter. If too much weight is placed on one side, the helicopter would lean during the flight, which affects stability and comfort.

Because of this, the pilot decides the seating arrangement. Even though we always try to keep people together, safety always comes first.

To guarantee the full back row for yourself, you must book three seats. This ensures that no other passengers will sit next to you.

Many couples choose this option to enjoy a more private and comfortable helicopter tour in Tenerife, with extra space and no one in the middle seat.

This is also a popular option for families with one child. Since there is no child discount, booking three seats allows you to have the entire back row together, with the child seated comfortably between the parents.

Yes. Tenerife residents receive a 5% discount on Tenerife helicopter flights. Prices are fixed, so this is the maximum discount available. To receive the discount, you must contact Club Canary in advance to request your discount code before booking. A valid residency card must be shown, and we will arrange everything for you.
