€160 for the whole minibus with one or two of you, then €15 more for each extra passenger up to nine, at any hour. Your driver meets you at arrivals and takes you to your hotel in the capital or to the cruise terminal.
Whether you are staying in a hotel by Parque Garcia Sanabria or joining a ship at the cruise terminal, your transfer from Tenerife airport to Santa Cruz takes you straight there, at one fixed price. Below are the hotels we drive to most, with the best known described in full.
Any address in Santa Cruz costs the same. We have no link with the hotels named here; they are simply some of the best known in the area.
Hotel Taburiente is a four-star hotel of 165 rooms on Calle Doctor Jose Naveiras, next to Parque Garcia Sanabria and the Rambla. Its rooftop has a pool and a jacuzzi with views of the mountains and the Atlantic, and a small open-air gym. It suits a city break or a few days before a cruise, with the shops and the park on the doorstep. The driver takes you to the door, from €160 for your whole group.
Silken Atlantida Santa Cruz stands on Avenida 3 de Mayo in the capital. On the roof is a wellness area with jacuzzis, a sauna and a fitness space, all with wide views over the sea and the city. Glass lifts look out over the sea as you go up. It works well for a business trip or a short stay before or after a cruise. The minibus brings you and the cases to reception, from €160 for your whole group.
Iberostar Heritage Grand Mencey is a five-star hotel built in 1950, a few steps from Parque Garcia Sanabria. Its colonial-style buildings stand around a garden courtyard. In the gardens there is a heated outdoor pool, and the spa has a hydrotherapy circuit. It is a calm city base, about ten minutes on foot from the centre. The minibus takes you up the east coast to the entrance, from €160 for your whole group.
The old university town above Santa Cruz. For a transfer from Tenerife South Airport to La Laguna, type it in the booking form and the price follows the road distance.
The concert hall on the seafront designed by Santiago Calatrava, with its great curved wing. It is home to the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra.
The golden beach of San Andres, a few minutes from the centre, about 1,300 metres long and sheltered by a stone breakwater.
The green mountains and walking trails north-east of the city.
The palm garden on the seafront, built on a former landfill.
La Recova, the city market hall, built in 1944.
From TFS airport to Santa Cruz, every hotel, villa and apartment, to the door rather than the nearest bus stop. All at the same price.
Santa Cruz is the capital of Tenerife and its main port. Plaza de Espana, the largest square in the city, was built in 1929 where the castle of San Cristobal once stood, and what remains of the castle lies beneath it. Parque Garcia Sanabria and the Rambla are a short walk inland.
The Carnival of Santa Cruz is a festival of international tourist interest. Every February or March it fills the streets around Plaza de Espana with parades and music. It is one of the busiest weeks to travel, so book the transfer early.
Joining a ship at the Santa Cruz cruise port? Send your flight and boarding time, and the driver takes your group and the cases straight to the terminal. On the way back we collect you at the quayside.
The bus from Tenerife South Airport to Santa Cruz runs direct only a few times a day, and it stops on the main roads into the city, so the last stretch to your hotel is on foot or by city bus. A taxi from the rank runs on the meter for the whole drive up the coast, and a family of five or a group may need two cars.
One minibus for up to nine, from €160 for your whole group, with the price agreed before you fly. The driver takes the motorway up the east coast and stops at your hotel door in the city.
Your Santa Cruz airport transfer works the other way too: the same price and the same driver standard, collected from your door at the time you choose. We recommend being at the airport three hours before your flight.
A taxi from the rank runs on the meter, so the fare changes with the time of day and the traffic. Our transfer is a fixed price for the whole minibus, one way: €160 for one or two, €265 for nine, agreed when you book.
Yes. Send the ship name and the time you disembark, and the driver waits at the terminal.
