The current ticket costs €26, lasts about 9 hours and includes return transport by air-conditioned coach. Tiqets currently lists an 08:00 start, while the operator describes the excursion as starting at roughly 08:30 after the pickup route is completed, so use the exact time on your voucher.

Why book this activity
Choose this product if you want to spend a full day in Puerto de la Cruz without renting a car or building both directions around public-bus timetables. The value is the transport rather than a guided itinerary: once the coach reaches Puerto de la Cruz, you decide how to use the day. The supplier highlights places such as Plaza del Charco, Muelle Viejo, the Botanical Garden, Lago Martiánez and the San Telmo seafront. Any attraction admission, meals and local spending are separate from the ticket.
Our take
The clearest search intent is “Puerto de la Cruz self-guided day trip from South Tenerife.” It is a useful mirror image of the separate Los Cristianos day-trip product for travelers based in the north. This Puerto de la Cruz version is stronger editorially because the current Tiqets and operator instructions agree on the important logistics: pickup is assigned near the hotel, the bus drops you at Playa Jardín, and the return meeting point is the Loro Parque bus parking. The only timing nuance is that Tiqets shows 08:00 while the operator describes the overall start as around 08:30 after pickup operations; follow your personal voucher rather than either generic time.
Who is it for
Best for travelers staying in Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos or other supported South Tenerife pickup areas who want to see Puerto de la Cruz at their own pace. It suits couples, families and solo travelers who prefer free time over a guided coach itinerary and who are comfortable returning to the fixed meeting point in the afternoon.
Who should skip it
Skip this product if you want a guided tour, attraction tickets, meals or a structured north-Tenerife itinerary. It is also not the right product if Loro Parque is your only goal and you want park entry bundled with transport; a dedicated Loro Parque package is a better fit for that intent. The current ticket is not marked wheelchair accessible. The operator says some guests with reduced mobility may be able to join if they can board the coach independently and any wheelchair or mobility aid is foldable, but confirm this before booking.
What to expect
Choose your pickup location during checkout. The operator confirms the closest meeting point to your hotel and the exact pickup time, and pickups can involve transfers between buses before the excursion fully gets underway.

The coach travels from South Tenerife to Puerto de la Cruz on the north coast. The current Tiqets and operator instructions say the bus drops passengers in front of Playa Jardín.

From there, the day is self-guided. There is no live guide and no fixed sightseeing sequence. Depending on your interests, you can walk toward the old center around Plaza del Charco and Muelle Viejo, continue along the seafront toward San Telmo and Lago Martiánez, or use part of the day for the Botanical Garden. Entry fees, food and drinks are not included.

For the return journey, meet at the Loro Parque bus parking at the time specified by the operator. The complete excursion is listed at about 9 hours, with routing and timing subject to normal operational or weather changes.
Before you go
Current price: €26. Current listed duration: about 9 hours. Tiqets currently shows an 08:00 start, while the operator describes the excursion as starting at approximately 08:30 once pickup operations are complete. The exact pickup time on your voucher is the one to follow.

Pickup is from the closest assigned meeting point to your hotel rather than guaranteed collection directly outside every accommodation. Bus transfers may sometimes be required during the pickup route.

The coach drops you in front of Playa Jardín. The return meeting point is the Loro Parque bus parking, so make sure you know where it is before spending the day elsewhere in town.

A live guide, food and drinks are excluded. Any paid attraction such as the Botanical Garden, Lago Martiánez or Loro Parque requires a separate ticket unless your own booking explicitly includes it.

The current product is not marked wheelchair accessible. The operator states that travelers with reduced mobility may sometimes participate if they can board independently and a wheelchair or mobility aid is foldable for the luggage compartment. Confirm any mobility requirement before purchase.

Current cancellation and rescheduling terms allow changes until 24 hours before the visit.

Comparison
Choose ID62 when you are staying in South Tenerife and want a self-guided day in Puerto de la Cruz with return coach transport. ID61 is the reverse concept: it takes travelers from the Puerto de la Cruz / north-Tenerife area to Los Cristianos for a free day in the south. A Loro Parque ticket-and-transfer package is better if the park is the main reason for traveling north, while a guided island tour is better if you want several towns and viewpoints with commentary rather than one independent day in Puerto de la Cruz.
Reschedule and cancellation policy
Cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the activity.
