R5 · 8 hours
€350per car
Up to Teide National Park and down through the Orotava Valley to Puerto de la Cruz: the volcano and the green north in a single day. Our most requested route.

R6 · 10 hours
€450per car
The fullest day: Mount Teide, the Masca viewpoint over the Teno ravines, Garachico, Icod de los Vinos and Puerto de la Cruz. For those with the whole day.
Suggested stops:
We leave Santa Cruz and climb the ridge, stopping wherever you like. Weather changes fast up there, so we adapt the stops to the day.
What you shouldn’t miss, in the order it appears along the way. During the stops you visit at your own pace: the service is the taxi with driver.
The road climbs through Canary pine forest. From the ridge viewpoints, such as Chipeque, on clear days you see the sea of clouds below you and Mount Teide ahead.
A volcanic caldera some 16 km across at the foot of Spain’s highest peak (3,715 m), a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007: lava flows, pumice and remarkably clear skies.
The most photographed volcanic rocks on the island, with Mount Teide behind and the Ucanca plain below. There is a short, flat trail around the rocks.
It climbs to 3,555 metres in a few minutes. We drop you at the base station and wait for you; buy the ticket in advance on its official website, it is not included.
A historic centre of cobbled streets and houses with wooden balconies, overlooking Tenerife’s greenest valley. It is what makes the most popular route different.
A seafront promenade, Lago Martiánez and the old fishermen’s quarter. A good place for lunch before heading back to Santa Cruz.
The hamlet of Masca among ravines, the thousand-year-old Dragon Tree of Icod and the natural pools of Garachico. For those with the whole day.
Routes:R6
Better light, fewer clouds, and in summer you avoid the afternoon heat.
At 2,000 metres it can be 15 degrees colder than in Santa Cruz, and in winter there is frost or snow.
Buy your ticket in advance on the official website: Teide cable car tickets.
If the weather is not good up top on the day, we adjust the route (for example to the north or Anaga) at no extra cost.
The Teide and La Laguna option (R4) takes 7 hours: it fits if your ship is in port for about 9 hours or more. We pick you up at the terminal and plan the return with a margin before all-aboard time. With less time, see the routes for short calls.

€300 per car, up to 4 passengers, for the 7-hour R4 route including La Laguna. The price is per car, not per person: the same for 1 or 4 of you. To add La Orotava and Puerto de la Cruz, route R5 is 8 hours and €350.
It is an agreed price per vehicle for services of more than 3 hours, as the Canary Islands taxi rules allow. It is agreed before you book and recorded on the agreed-price form, which we both sign before setting off and which stays in the taxi. It covers the taxi service with driver only (transport, waiting time and the agreed stops) and does not include a tourist guide service. Services under 3 hours are charged on the meter.
No. The price covers only the taxi and driver for the whole day; it does not include tickets or a tourist guide service. The cable car ticket is bought separately and is best booked in advance.
On the official Teide Cable Car website: buy Teide cable car tickets. Book ahead, as places are limited and the price changes with the date. We take you to the base station and wait for you.
About an hour and a half to the Roques de García, stopping at the viewpoints on the way.
We look at it together on the day: if the weather is not good up top, we adjust the route (to the north or Anaga) at no extra cost.
Yes, if your call gives you at least six hours. We plan the return around your all-aboard time.
When you receive final confirmation from the taxi driver.
Teide, La Orotava and Puerto de la Cruz (R5), 8 hours and €350 per car: up to the volcano and down through the Orotava Valley to Puerto de la Cruz.
Teide and La Laguna (R4, 7 h, €300) is the shortest and the one that fits a cruise call. Teide, La Orotava and Puerto de la Cruz (R5, 8 h, €350) adds the green north. The grand route (R6, 10 h, €450) adds Masca, Garachico and Icod de los Vinos.
You don’t need a ticket to visit the national park and its viewpoints by taxi. The cable car has its own ticket, best bought in advance on its official website.
