How we plan it

How we plan your port call, working back from all-aboard time

  1. You tell us the ship and all-aboard time

    With the ship’s name we follow its arrival; with the all-aboard time we work out when you need to be back.

  2. We suggest the route that fits

    We allow for the drive back to the quay with a margin and choose the stops with the time left.

  3. We pick you up as you leave the ship

    At the authorised point closest to your terminal; if the berth changes, we let you know on WhatsApp.

  4. If the ship is late, we adapt

    We adjust the pick-up to the ship’s actual arrival, at no extra cost.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

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.

FAQ

Private taxi during your port call

Will I be back in time for the ship?

Yes: we plan the route backwards from your all-aboard time, with a margin. It is the first thing we ask when you book.

How does the fixed price work?

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 of up to 3 hours are charged on the meter.

Is this an organised shore excursion?

No. It is a private taxi with a driver, just for your group: we take you wherever you want, wait for you at every stop and you set the pace.

How much does it cost?

A fixed price per car depending on the hours: from €225 for half a day to €350 for a long day, up to 4 passengers. Not per person.

Where do you meet us?

At Muelle Sur, the Estación Marítima or the taxi area at your ship’s exit, depending on the day’s operations. We confirm it on WhatsApp.

What if the ship arrives late?

We adjust the route to the time left, at no extra cost, and cut stops rather than risk your all-aboard time.

Are tickets or meals included?

No. The price covers only the taxi and driver; it does not include tickets, meals or a tourist guide service. We stop wherever you want to eat and plan the timings around your all-aboard time.

When is it confirmed?

When you receive final confirmation from the taxi driver. Tell us the ship’s name so we can follow its arrival.

Can I visit Mount Teide during my port call?

Yes, if your ship is in port for about 9 hours or more: the Teide and La Laguna route (R4) takes 7 hours. With less time we suggest Anaga and La Laguna (R2) or the essential north (R1), 6 hours each.

What if my cruise ends in Tenerife?

We take you from the port to the airport: South Airport about €95; North Airport on the meter, about €26. Book the transfer with your ship’s name and flight time.

Cruise call

How many hours do you have in Santa Cruz?

Tell us the ship and your all-aboard time. We suggest what fits and, for more than 3 hours, the fixed price, before you book.
