The whole north in one day: La Laguna, the La Garañona viewpoint, Puerto de la Cruz, the thousand-year-old Dragon Tree of Icod de los Vinos and the fishing town of Garachico with its natural pools.
The most direct way to see Mount Teide from Santa Cruz: up through La Esperanza with stops at the viewpoints, the Roques de García at about 2,150 metres and back via La Laguna.
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.

What to see in Tenerife from Santa Cruz, area by area
What you will find at each route’s stops and how long it takes from Santa Cruz. During the stops you visit at your own pace: the service is the taxi with driver.
Taxi to Mount Teide from Santa Cruz: a must-see
About 75–90 minutes to the Roques de García
Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to Spain’s highest peak (3,715 m), is reached from Santa Cruz via the La Esperanza road through pine forest. The usual stops are the viewpoints on the way, the lava landscape of Las Cañadas and the Roques de García at about 2,150 metres. If you want to take the cable car, buy your ticket in advance on the official cable car website.
San Cristóbal de La Laguna, 15 minutes away, is a UNESCO World Heritage city thanks to its historic centre. Beyond it lies Anaga Rural Park, a Biosphere Reserve: Pico del Inglés, the laurel forest at Cruz del Carmen and the villages of Taganana and Benijo by the sea. It is the area closest to the port and the best choice for a short cruise call.
The north: La Orotava, Puerto de la Cruz, Icod and Garachico
Puerto de la Cruz, about 35–40 minutes on the TF-5
The north is the greenest part of the island. The La Garañona viewpoint looks over the El Sauzal coast; La Orotava keeps its wooden-balconied houses; Puerto de la Cruz has Lago Martiánez and its seafront; Icod de los Vinos is home to the thousand-year-old Dragon Tree, and Garachico is a fishing town with natural lava pools.
The hamlet of Masca, set among rocks and ravines, is one of Tenerife’s best-known images. The Teno road is narrow and winding, so it is part of the 10-hour route, unhurried, together with Mount Teide and the north.
Loro Parque about 40 minutes · Siam Park about 50–60 minutes
For a day at a park: the taxi takes you from Santa Cruz, waits during your visit and brings you back, at a price per car agreed before setting off. Loro Parque is in Puerto de la Cruz and Siam Park in Costa Adeje. Tickets are on you.
The price covers only the taxi service with driver.

Fantastic experience from booking to finish! We booked last minute on WhatsApp and they were very accommodating and rapid! Our driver was wonderfully flexible throughout the day and the car was clean. Highly recommend!
Per car, up to 4 passengers. Whether you are 1 or 4, the price is the same.
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.
Can I change the stops?
Yes, always. As a private taxi route booked exclusively for you, the itinerary is fully flexible: the stops listed are a proposal that we adjust to your preferences, the time available and the conditions on the day. If you would rather design your own route from the start, request a custom route.
Where do we start?
Anywhere in the municipality of Santa Cruz de Tenerife: your hotel, your home or the cruise terminal. At the end we drop you where we started or wherever you tell us: another hotel, the port or the airport, for example.
Does it include tickets for Teide, Loro Parque or Siam Park?
No. The price covers only the taxi and driver for the whole day; it does not include tickets or a tourist guide service. You buy the tickets and we plan the timings so you arrive on time.
What if I arrive by cruise ship?
The route is planned around your arrival and, above all, your all-aboard time. Routes of 5 to 7 hours are the most comfortable for a port call; Anaga and La Laguna (R2) is the closest to the port. Tell us the name of your ship when you book.
When is the route confirmed?
When you receive final confirmation from the taxi driver. Sending a request does not book the day on its own.
Can I pay by card?
Yes: cash, card or Bizum at the end of the day. Nothing is paid in advance.
Which route is the most popular?
Teide, La Orotava and Puerto de la Cruz (R5): in 8 hours you see the volcano and the green north in one day, for €350 per car. If you arrive by cruise ship and have less time, Teide and La Laguna (R4) takes 7 hours.
How long does it take from Santa Cruz to Mount Teide?
About 75–90 minutes to the Roques de García via the La Esperanza road, including a stop or two at the viewpoints. The Teide and La Laguna route (R4) takes 7 hours in total.
What if we are more than 4?
The taxi has 4 seats. For larger groups we put you in touch with another licensed Santa Cruz taxi driver so you can set off together; each taxi charges its own service.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as possible, especially on days with cruise ships in port. For the same day, message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you if we are available.
