Meeting point
How we meet you at the cruise terminal
We know that the last thing you want after leaving the ship is to search for your taxi in the crowd. So everything is clear before you disembark.
We follow your ship
With your ship’s name we track its arrival in real time. If it docks early or late, we adapt the pick-up at no extra cost.
A photo of the exact spot
The day before or that morning we send you a photo on WhatsApp of where we will be waiting: the authorised taxi area closest to your terminal’s passenger exit.
A sign with your name
We wait by the taxi with a sign showing your name, so you recognise us as soon as you walk out.
Live location
From the moment we set off for the port we share our live location with you on WhatsApp, and keep it on for the whole journey: you always know where we are.
We park in the area set aside for taxis and pick-ups next to your terminal (Muelle Sur or the Estación Marítima, depending on where your ship berths). If the port changes the berth or the access, we let you know straight away.
Make the most of your day
Flight later in the day? See Tenerife before the airport
Take a private taxi route with your luggage in the boot — Mount Teide, La Laguna or the north — and we drop you at Tenerife South Airport in time for your flight. And if your cruise calls at Santa Cruz, use those hours to see the island.

Cruise port → South Airport
We booked a taxi from Tenerife Cruise Port to Tenerife South Airport (TFS), and everything was perfect. The driver was very punctual and waited patiently for us because we needed a little extra time.

How much is the taxi from the cruise port to Tenerife South Airport?
About €95 (63 km); it varies with pick-up area, public holidays, time and traffic. The final fare is what the meter shows at the current rate. The form on this page estimates it with the real Google Maps route.
Where is the pick-up in the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife?
We arrange it on WhatsApp at the most convenient point for the port’s operations: Muelle Sur (main cruise terminal), the Estación Marítima or the taxi area at your ship’s exit. The exact spot is confirmed with your booking.
How long does it take from the port to South Airport?
About 45–50 minutes on the TF-1 motorway, depending on traffic. If your flight is tight, we set the pick-up with enough margin.
Do I have to pay in advance?
No. The request requires no prepayment. You pay at the end of the ride: cash, card or Bizum.
Do you pick up passengers from any cruise line?
Yes: AIDA, Mein Schiff, MSC, Costa, Royal Caribbean, Princess, P&O, Cunard, Norwegian, Holland America and any other ship docking in Santa Cruz. Add your ship’s name to the request.
What if my ship arrives late?
We adjust the pick-up to the ship’s actual arrival at no extra cost. That is why we ask for the ship’s name.
When is my booking confirmed?
Your booking is confirmed once you receive final confirmation from the taxi driver. Sending a request does not book the taxi on its own.
