Details

Set against the sun-drenched coast of southern Tenerife, Adeje provides an extraordinary stage for aerial adventure. Get Holiday elevates the concept of sightseeing with a concise yet captivating 10-minute helicopter ride over this striking Spanish enclave. From the sky, the contrast of coastal cliffs against the Atlantic Ocean reveals layers of geological story — volcanic rock formations sharp against the sweeping beaches that line Costa Adeje. The flight takes you over La Caleta, a small fishing village where whitewashed buildings meet blue waters, offering a perspective unavailable by land.

Beyond that, the path arcs over the Golf Costa Adeje, an impeccably maintained course weaving through the arid terrain.
