Hi we are arriving in tenerife in September on a cruise does anyone have any idea of the price of a taxi from the port to the loro parque, or a mini bus there are 15 of us, am just trying to work out if it would be cheaper for us to go it alone or to book with the ship. I can get tickets for the loro park for £24 for adults or £16 for children.

Many thanks

I would have thought it much cheaper booking on board ship than getting a taxi there and back as you will probably need 4 taxis. Minibuses to hire with a normal licence are maximum 8 people. As there are so many of you I am sure your rep on ship will sort a deal out for you. good luck.

Go to www.tenerifesunshine.com

We specialise in SHORE EXCURSIONS. We saw a niche in the market due to the fact that the cruise companies prices are so highly inflated.

On our website there is a live chat facility, email or UK local call rate telephone number.

Hi thanks for the responses I have contacted Tenerife sunshine via the livechat and am waiting to hear. I have previously emailed about a trip to theloro parque but to be honest the price was the same if not more than the ship (because of the Euro rate probably) if that was the case I am better off booking with the ship as I have the insurance of knowing that if the bus is held up for any reason the ship will wait for us.

Try elmarservices for the transfer. I know they work with cruise ships out of Santa Cruz.

The local bus station is across the road from port - 10 mins walk - bus 103 leaves half hourly direct to Puerto de La Cruz- the fare is €4.50 one way or if you but a Bono ticket €3 - you can use the Bono Ticket for any number of people - the Bono comes in €12 or €30 so for 15 , 3 x30 should do for return fares - journey is about 40 minutes

Most cruise ships excursions start from £150 per person .Which imo is damned expensive
