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 8 and 50 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 98€ 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.

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.

Yes. Booking in advance is strongly recommended because helicopter availability changes quickly and the schedule is not always updated live. Club Canary confirms availability before charging your payment.

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. Passengers above this weight may need to book an extra seat for safety and balance 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.

The best place to book a helicopter tour in Tenerife is with a local specialist like Club Canary. We arrange helicopter flights daily, offer clear advice, real availability checks, and local support before and after booking.

Club Canary is a local company that sells a high number of helicopter tours in Tenerife every year. We also arrange private helicopter flights, marriage proposals, helicopter transfers, luxury yachts, and private jet services. We know the experience because we’ve done it ourselves.

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.

In some cases, yes, but this must always be checked with Club Canary in advance. Weight is checked on the day of the flight. If the limit is exceeded, the extra seat must be paid before flying. This depends on availability and the selected route.

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, but it cannot be guaranteed. Seating depends on weight balance and safety. Especially on shorter flights, there is less flexibility, and passengers may be seated separately if needed.

For safety reasons, weight must be balanced inside the helicopter. If too much weight is placed on one side, the helicopter would lean to the left or right during the flight. This can affect stability and comfort. For this reason, the pilot decides the seating arrangement to keep the helicopter level and safe. Please respect this decision.

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

Yes. Tenerife residents receive a 5% discount on Tenerife helicopter flights. Prices are fixed, so this is the maximum discount available. A valid residency card must be shown, and Club Canary will arrange everything for you.
