By Car
As you leave the airport, follow the signs for “TF-1 Granadilla – Santa Cruz, La laguna” onto the northbound TF-1 motorway. Continue on the TF-1 Motorway for about 53km, then take the exit for the TF-2. This exit is very easy to miss, but it is the next exit after “El Chorillo El Tablero”. Follow the signs onto the TF-2 (Aeropuerto Norte) and then continue on the TF-2 and follow the signs for “TF-5 La Laguna Aeropuerto Norte”. Once on the TF-5, you can just follow the signs to Puerto de La Cruz. Click here to compare car rental prices.
By Bus
The 343 bus route from Costa Adeje stops at Tenerife South Airport and is the only direct bus route to Puerto de la Cruz. The journey takes about 1 hour and 25 minutes and costs €13.55. Alternatively, you could catch a 711 (nocturnal) or 10 bus to Santa Cruz, and then a 102, 103 or 104 bus from there to Puerto de la Cruz. More information and timetables can be found at the public bus website here.
By Taxi
It costs between €100 – €120 for a taxi from Tenerife South to Puerto de la Cruz and the journey time is around 70 minutes. There isn’t normally a long wait at the airport taxi rank.
By Airport Transfer
A pre-booked airport shuttle transfer costs around €25 with the added bonus that it will take you all the way to your hotel! A private transfer for up to 4 passengers costs as little as €78.41 – which is quite a bit less than the cost of a taxi. Larger groups can also be catered to with people-carriers and mini-buses available. Click here for more information or to book.

Hi, on 19.10.2022 – Wednesday – I’m going from Tenerife to London. I’m staying at Puerto de la Cruz and flying from Reina Sofia Airport to UK. My flight is at 11.15am, so I should be at the airport at 9.15am. At what time should I leave my apartment at Puerto then? The travel by taxi takes about 1h 15min, but are there any traffic jams at that time? How much time should I take for the trip to don’t be late for the plane?
administrator
Hi, I would allow a little longer than 75 minutes just in case there are traffic issues in the La Laguna/Santa Cruz area. I’d imagine that if you leave at about 07:40, you will have plenty of time.
Mrs Amy J Mathews

administrator
Hi, I spoke to the transfer company, and they have now added Best Semiramis Hotel, so you should be able to book your transfer.

Hi, we are travelling home from Puerto de la Cruz to Tenerife South airport for a flight back to the UK at 11.10 am on Tuesday 8th November. Can we take a bus there? If so, what time would it leave from Puerto ? Many thanks x
administrator
Hi, The only 343 Bus that corresponds with that flight leaves Puerto de la Cruz at 6am, so you might be better off booking a transfer:

Hello!
We are arriving this coming Wednesday 14/12 to Tenerife South at around 18.30pm and need to get to Puerto de la Cruz (Hotel Chimisay). Any idea what’s my best bet to get there? There are 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids), and just checked on CICAR website, and apparently I can book a car for 3 days picking it up from Tenerife South Airport and returning in Puerto de la Cruz for less than €100. Can that be possible? Or you reckon there are hidden costs? I checked the shuttle option but Hotel Chimisay is not included within their options, I wonder if I should just type “Puerto de la Cruz” and leave it at that, and maybe tell the drive while we are getting there the name of the hotel and he might bring us there? I checked the 343 option on the Titsa website but its confusing, it looks like arriving 18.30pm at Tenerife South Airport and going towards Puerto de la Cruz the only bus left is the last one and it leaves the airport at 21.55pm and it doesnt even say at what time you arrive in Puerto de la Cruz, is that possible? As you can see, I am doing the research but I am not too sure what is best. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a million!!
administrator
Hi, I have used Cicar many times , and there are usually no hidden costs – sometimes there has been a deposit for the fuel, which you get back if you fill the car up before returning it. The price sounds about right for off season, so that sounds like a good option for you.
Andy
Hi, could you tell me where is the bus stop at Tenerife South airport to get the 343? Thank you!
administrator
Hi, The bus stop is located just across from the exit of the arrivals hall.
Sarah
Hi, we are arriving this Friday (30th) around 6 pm at Tenerife South and can’t seem to book a shared shuttle transfer to Puerto de la Cruz (Atlantic Mirage). Is it still possible to do so? The booking form seems to only have January bookings available. Thank you!
administrator
Unfortunately, it’s too close to the date to book that transfer.
Bradley
We leave Puerto de le Cruz on Sunday and need to get back to Tenerife South Airport for our flight at 18:20.
Is our best opinion the 343 bus as a taxi cost is 106€?
Hoping we are correct, we are thinking we’d need to get the 14:45 bus to arrive in time? Does this sound right?
Thank you
administrator
Hi, No, on Sundays you would need to catch the 13:40 bus, as the 14:45 only runs from Monday to Friday.
Georgina
Would it still be the 343 and would it still go straight to the airport? And would it also go from the bus station still? (Sorry we just like it know what we are doing so we don’t get stuck)
administrator
Yes, the route is the same – just a slightly different timetable.
Anne Golden
Hi, To it may concern, My Husband and I will be arriving tomorrow evening at Tenerife south airport at 19:00, we are staying in Puerto de La Cruz. We are wondering what is the best bus route to take.
Thanking You Anne Golden
administrator
Hi, Unfortunately there is no direct bus that corresponds with your arrival time (the next direct bus is at 21:55). So you will have to get a bus to Santa Cruz first (no. 10), and then a 102, 103 or 104 bus from there to Puerto de la Cruz.
J Young
Is it possible to book a transfer from Tenerife Airport South to the hotel Dwo Nopal in Puerto de la Cruz, please?
Thank you for your help!
administrator
Hi, That hotel is in a pedestrianised zone, so therefore the buses cannot drop you off there. You could get a transfer to a nearby hotel such as AF Valle Orotava Hotel, and walk from there.
Hope this helps.

Hi
This is a very helpful site, thank you. We arrive at Aeropuerto Sur on Wednesday 22nd, at 13.30, time to clear the bags etc maybe 1 hour, so looking for a bus to Puerto de la Cruz. It looks like the 343 doesn’t go until 17.55; am I correct in thinking we could get a 30 bus to the north airport then another one to our resort? Thanks.
administrator
Hi, No, the no.30 bus is from Tenerife North Airport to Puerto de la Cruz, it does not go to Tenerife South Airport. You are probably better off booking a transfer.
Julie Gough

administrator
Hi, The bus leaves Tenerife South Airport at 17:55. The next one is at 21:55. Perhaps a transfer is a safer bet? https://bit.ly/3zEILMy

Hi, If you mean 06:30, then the next one is at 09:55 on weekdays, and 09:25 at weekends and public holidays.
If you mean 18:30, then the next one is at 21:55 on weekdays, and 19:45 on weekends and public holidays.
Catalin Tudor
Hi!
What is the transport duration with the airport-shuttle transfer ? Is it faster than the 343 bus ?
In the case of a delayed flight will I lose the money for the airport-shuttle transfer I booked ?
administrator
Hi, It is difficult to give an exact time, since this depends on how many other passengers there are, and whether the bus has to stop at other hotels first. It could be faster or slower than the 343 bus.
In case of delayed or cancelled flight, you should notify the transfer company as soon as possible, and you will receive a refund.
Brian
Hello we are arriving Nov 14 to TFS and need to get to puerto de la cruz. The link to the timetable for the public buses does not show bus 343. Has it been discontinued.
Also the apartment we are staying at in Puerto de la Cruz is not listed on the shuttle Spain website so we cannot obtain any information on departure time. Can you help with this.
administrator
Hi, Apologies for the late reply. The 343 bus is still operating – the link above is to the Bus Company’s homepage in English. If you cannot see your accommodation listed on the Shuttle Spain website, then you should select the nearest large hotel to where you are staying.
Brian
Is is possible to purchase advance tickets for any of the Titsa buses? I can’t find anything on the website

Hi, No, this is not possible.

You need to book transfers a couple of days in advance.

Hello,
We will be arriving at Tenerife South on June 6th at 12:15 and we need to get to Hotel Vallemar in Puerto de la Cruz. I was looking at booking a shuttle transfer, but it doesn’t look like Hotel Vallemar is on the list of hotels. Can you recommend the best option to get to Hotel Vallemar from the airport?
Thank you!
Heather
administrator
Hi, You could book the transfer to the Sol Costa Atlantis which is nearby. I will contact the transfer company and ask why that hotel isn’t listed (could be that the coach can’t stop there).
Heather
Thank you so much for your response and for checking on the hotel shuttle stop!
Meryl O'Neill
Hi, I am arriving at Tenerife South airport on 12th March 2024 at 18.00 and I would like to go to Hotel Tigaiga in Puerto de la Cruz. Can I get a shuttle bus there or would it be quicker to get the bus to Santa Cruz, then a connecting bus to Puerto de la Cruz? Would there be a long walk from the bus stop to my hotel when I get off the bus? I do not think I can get the 343 bus as the times do not match up. Thank you.
administrator
Hi, A transfer would likely be quite a bit faster than getting two buses. That hotel isn’t too far from the bus stop though (500 metres).
De Cock Veerle
Hello
I will arrive at 17:00 on Sunday 5th of May at TFS. That is what my plane ticket says. When I book a shuttle transfer to Puerto de la Cruz (Hotel Marquisa), I have to fill in at what time the flight arrives. Will the transfer take into account the time needed to get my luggage or do I have to do this myself? The same for going back: do I have to fill in the real departure time of the flight or do I have to fill in two hours earlier? Thank you for your advice.
administrator
Hi, The transfer company takes into account the time needed to get through immigration and collect your luggage etc. For the return flight, they also take into account the time needed to check-in and go through security etc (they get you to the airport more than 2 hours before your flight is due to leave).
So you should fill in the real departure and arrival times as provided by the airline.
Pat Murphy
Hi very helpful site,
We fly in to South airport on Friday 26th july. It will be 00:50 . We are staying in Puerto del la cruz, 3 adults and 4 kids is a pre-booked private transfer or best option or will we wait till we arrive.
Thanks
administrator
Hi, I think that a pre-booked transfer (private or shared) would definitely be the best option for you at that time. There is no bus at that time, and if you wait, you might need to pay for two taxis.
Monika
Hi
Is it possible to get from Puerto de la Cruz to TFS at night on a public bus? Our flight is at 2am.

Hi, Not directly – you should probably book a transfer.

Hi Admin,
Thank you for this guide, I have a flight at the end of January on a Sunday to TFS and we land at 17:45. Staying in Puerto de la cruz. Would you recommend waiting for the 343 at 19:45?
I have thrown in a quote in the shuttles spain transfer website and am just wondering do these prices fluctuate much in your experience or do they stay the same? (Getting a €38 pp return quote, don’t mind the fare just wondering if advisable to wait if price changes.)
Thank you,
Joe
administrator
Hi, I’d recommend a transfer – particularly for the journey to your hotel while you get your bearings. Prices do fluctuate a little bit – generally they just keep going up over time like everything else!
