Mount Teide
The massive volcanic peak dominates the window, often piercing through a sea of clouds.
Orotava Valley
Lush pine forests and agricultural terraces cascading down the northern slopes of Tenerife.
La Gomera
A detailed view of the central Garajonay National Park and its deep, radial ravines.
El Golfo Bay
The giant amphitheater-shaped valley on El Hierro, created by a prehistoric landslide.
Roques de Salmor
Iconic giant rock formations standing out in the ocean just off the coast of El Hierro.
The right side is essential for the Teide view, which is the highlight of the flight. Late afternoon flights offer spectacular lighting as the sun sets over the ocean, casting long shadows across the volcanic craters. Ensure your camera is ready immediately after takeoff from TFN.

Uninterrupted views of the deep Atlantic where dolphins and pilot whales are frequently spotted from the air.
