This is a panoramic helicopter flight that takes off from the Adeje Heliport, in the southwest of Tenerife, and flies over the coast to the Los Gigantes Cliffs, in the municipality of Santiago del Teide (bordering Buenavista del Norte to the north, within the Teno Rural Park area). These cliffs are vertical walls of volcanic rock that plunge into the ocean and reach in some sections nearly 600 meters in height, considered among the highest in the Canary Islands. The usual operator is Helidream Helicopters, which flies from Monday to Sunday with 3 or 4-seater helicopters and offers various routes of different distances and durations, including the Los Gigantes route; there are also shorter flights.

Passengers must present ID, NIE, or passport on the day of the flight and it is advisable to book in advance.
