What you need to know

Drone filming
in Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

The Canary Islands host international productions every year, drawn by their light, their variety of landscapes and their own tax incentive regime. Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura bring together dunes, volcanoes, cliffs and beaches in a very small area.

Travel

We fly in from the mainland with the gear. Air transport of lithium batteries has its own rules, so we plan well in advance what travels with us and what is shipped.

flight

Airspace

Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura airports; Gran Canaria shares its facilities with Gando air base. Their surroundings require ENAIRE coordination.

park

Protected areas

Timanfaya National Park, the Maspalomas Dunes and many protected natural areas on all three islands: environmental authorisation on top of the aviation one; in Timanfaya flying is heavily restricted.

Locations

The Maspalomas Dunes, Roque Nublo and inland Gran Canaria, the volcanic landscapes and La Geria in Lanzarote, and the Corralejo dunes and beaches of Fuerteventura.

02

Recce and permits

Location, light by the hour and flight paths. We handle AESA, ENAIRE coordination where airspace is controlled, and municipal or environmental authorisations.

03

Shoot day

Pilot, camera operator and DIT on set, with radios to the director and the aerial feed on the director's monitor.

FAQ

Questions about
shooting in Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

How do you get the drones and batteries to the Canary Islands?add

We plan transport in advance: air transport of lithium batteries has limits on capacity and number, so we agree with the production what travels with us, what is shipped and how many days ahead.

Can you fly a drone in Timanfaya?add

It is a national park and flying is heavily restricted; specific authorisation is required. For volcanic landscape shots we suggest alternatives outside the park.

How much does a drone operator cost for a shoot in Gran Canaria?add

An aerial unit day plus flights, gear transport, accommodation and permits; over several days the travel is diluted. We send the 2026 rate card with the quote.

Do you shoot in the Maspalomas Dunes?add

They are a special nature reserve: authorisation is needed on top of the aviation paperwork, and the flight follows the conditions set for the area.
