Tenerife helicopter tour
There is exactly one helicopter product in the catalogue: €110, ★4.8 from 341 reviews, flying out of Adeje with a maximum of four seats. It sells five routes, and the only thing that separates them is how many minutes you are in the air.
You are buying minutes, and the first ones are the dearest
€110 is the entry price and it buys the seven-minute run along the south coast — the resorts, the cliffs behind them, and back. Every longer route is the same helicopter flying further: ten minutes for the beaches and ravines, eighteen for Los Gigantes, twenty-five for Isla Baja, forty for the Teide National Park. Work out the price per minute before you choose, because it falls steeply as the routes get longer.

Ranked by whether a day spent on them is worth it, not by star rating alone — a high score from a handful of reviews is not a recommendation.

Before you book a seat
The helicopter, asked and answered
How much is a helicopter tour in Tenerife?
From €110 for the seven-minute south coast flight. The ten, eighteen, twenty-five and forty-minute routes each cost more, and are priced per option on the booking page — we do not quote figures we have not taken from our own price snapshot.
Is the Tenerife helicopter tour worth it?
It carries ★4.8 from 341 reviews, which is the highest rating of anything we list at this price. Whether it is worth it depends on the route: seven minutes is a taster, forty minutes over Teide is a different proposition.
Can you fly over Mount Teide by helicopter?
Yes — the forty-minute Gran Teide route is the longest option sold. It is the only way on this site to see the caldera from above without climbing it; the cable car takes you to 3 555 m but keeps you on the mountain.
Where does the helicopter leave from?
Adeje, in the south-west. You make your own way there — no pickup is included — and you need a passport or ID card with you.
How many people fit in the helicopter?
Four. If you want the cabin to yourself, the operator says you have to buy all four tickets; otherwise you share with whoever else is booked on that slot.
Can I cancel a helicopter flight?
No. The listing states the activity is non-refundable, which makes it the exception on this site. Pick a date you are sure of, and be aware that poor weather changes the route rather than releasing your money.
Is there more than one helicopter operator in Tenerife?
Not in this catalogue. One product, one operator out of Adeje, which is why this page cannot offer you a cheaper alternative in the air — only on the ground.
What can you see from the air that you cannot from the road?
The shape of things: Los Gigantes as a wall rather than a cliff face, the ravines of the south running to the sea in parallel, and on the long route the caldera as the sixteen-kilometre bowl it actually is.
