Transfer from Tenerife South airport

Getting to Santa Cruz de Tenerife from Tenerife South Airport

When flying to Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, the airport is the first thing to experience. Tenerife, an extremely popular holiday hotspot, is served by two airports:

• Tenerife South Airport, also known as Reina Sofia Airport or Tenerife Sur
• Tenerife North Airport or Ciudad de La Laguna Airport

Situated in the south of the island, Tenerife South Airport is the larger of the two international airports on the island and the second busiest in the Canary Islands with just about 11 million passengers passing through every year. Despite all that, the airport has only one passenger terminal, which comprises three levels: 

Ground Floor (arrivals and check-in)  

First Level (departures and commercial area)

Second Level (offices and transit corridors) 

The airport is situated some 60 km southwest of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. There are three options to get to Santa Cruz city center. 

Bus

The Bus is the only public transport that is directly connected to the airport. There are several bus routes serving Tenerife South Airport. 

Bus route 111 will get you to Santa Cruz with several stops along the way. Bus 711 runs the same route but at night. It also has a few additional stops. Getting on a bus is the most affordable, yet time-consuming option. 

The Bus station can be found just opposite the arrivals gate of the main terminal building. 

We recommend you buy tickets beforehand, so you won’t pay extras, as the driver may not have any change.

Shuttle 

Some hotels in Tenerife offer free shuttles from the airport, so before arranging transfer to your accommodation check this information first. In this case you’ll have to wait for other passengers and there is always a possibility to be the last one to be dropped off, which could be time-consuming and tiring, especially so after a long-haul flight.

Taxi/Transfer

Taxi ranks are located outside Arrivals hall on the ground level. Ordering a taxi is the least stressful way to reach the city center. You might not have the energy to drag your heavy bags around after a long international flight. Taxi ride from the airport to Santa Cruz is expensive, as it can reach  €100, but you can save a buck by ordering a transfer. 

We recommend GetTransfer, as it offers the best prices in the area. In case you don’t agree with the company’s pricing, you can offer yours, which is pretty convenient. 

For a group of four and more people, GetTransfer can find you a vehicle that suits the size of your company with all the baggage you have. Another sweet little bonus is that you can share the ride cost, which is beneficial for everyone. 

For families and passengers with massive luggage, getting a suitable vehicle on GetTransfer is a lifesaver. You won’t have to worry about your heavy belongings or your children getting lost in public transport. GetTransfer is a stress-free experience.

Forget about expensive airport taxi or confusing public transport system. GetTransfer will get you in comfort and no fuss to any point in the city.    

The journey time will take about 40 minutes, depending on traffic. Still, With GetTransfer the time will fly by while you will be admiring Tenerife surroundings from your passenger seat.
