Mount Teide
The majestic 3,715-meter volcano is the centerpiece of the flight, often towering above the cloud layer.
Corona Forestal
A bird's-eye view of the dense canary pine forests that ring the central volcanic heights.
La Laguna
Direct views of the UNESCO-listed historic center of San Cristóbal de La Laguna immediately after departure.
La Orotava Valley
The lush, green northern valley that stretches from the mountains down to the Atlantic coast.
Garajonay National Park
As you descend into La Gomera, view the ancient laurel forests that cover the island's central plateau.
The right side is essential for photography. Book a seat in the front or rear of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Teide. On morning flights, the lighting on the volcano is particularly dramatic, highlighting the different lava flows and craters.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Aerial perspective of the island's capital city and its busy industrial port shortly after takeoff from TFN.
Atlantic Channel
Panoramic views of the open ocean and the ferry routes connecting the Western Canary Islands.
Southern Coastline
Distanced views of the arid southern landscape and the popular beaches near El Médano.
Los Cristianos Port
The main ferry hub for the western islands is often visible as you approach the channel between the islands.
The left side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun reflecting off the ocean. It is also the better side for spotting pods of pilot whales or dolphins in the channel if the altitude is low enough.
