Los Gigantes is the sheer cliff wall on Tenerife’s west — dark volcanic rock dropping to the Atlantic with a harbour town tucked at its feet. From the shore road you see one face at a time. From a shared helicopter the cliffs and harbour can open together when the west-coast route and visibility allow. On the Tenerife hub it is the lead may-see on the mid-length Los Gigantes flight and a named view on longer west-coast tickets — always an overflight, never a cliff-top landing.
The Tenerife Los Gigantes 18-Minute Helicopter Tour is the signature shared look: about 18 minutes in the air, from EUR 295 per person. After the Adeje heliport brief you board a shared helicopter and may see the Los Gigantes cliffs with harbour framing, and Teide views on the return when the route allows. The longer Tenerife Isla Baja 25-Minute Helicopter Tour (about 25 minutes, from EUR 430) keeps Los Gigantes in a north-west coast path toward Garachico. The Tenerife Gran Teide 40-Minute Helicopter Tour (about 40 minutes, from EUR 545) frames west-coast cliffs with Teide country. Shorter south-coast tickets stay nearer Adeje. Named sights are route- and weather-dependent — you may see them rather than a guaranteed overflight.
Shared helicopters seat up to about 4 passengers. Shared flights are not private — empty seats may be sold to other guests. A private cabin means purchasing four tickets. These tickets are continuous scenic overflights only — no scenic landing is stated on the booking. Do not expect a guaranteed clear cliff panorama every time — cloud, haze and route changes can hide the wall. These flights return to Adeje; they are not a boat trip under the cliffs or a ground visit to the town.
Meet at Adeje heliport (Calle Charfa area, Polígono Industrial Las Torres, Adeje). Hotel pickup is not included — make your own way. You get a short safety briefing before boarding. The exact start time is confirmed after booking. Bring a passport or ID card. Allow up to about 90 minutes on site for briefing, boarding and your flight; air time is the marketed minutes on each ticket.

Optional photo or video packs may be offered as extras. Check availability for dates and start times rather than assuming a fixed public season.
