Tenerife without a car, from the airport to the volcano.

Two airports, one bus company and an island bigger than it looks. Start with the TITSA line from TFS or TFN to your base, then the day trips: Teide, Masca, Anaga, the north coast. The departure times are here, and every plan starts with the bus back.

    Where the published lines reach, and where they stop

    Where the lines reach

    Both airports, Santa Cruz, La Laguna, Puerto de la Cruz and Costa Adeje are joined by the lines on the map, and from them the buses reach Teide National Park, Los Gigantes, La Orotava, Garachico, Taganana and Punta del Hidalgo.

    Where it does not

    No bus goes to the summit of Teide: lines 342 and 348 reach Las Cañadas, the cable car sells its own ticket and the summit trail needs a national-park permit. Line 343 is the direct TITSA connection between the two airports, and its service is limited: check the 343 table. Beaches, marinas and trailheads are a walk or a local connection from the stop the guides name.

    Where the weather decides the plan

    • A day in Teide National Park Spain’s national parks network describes a dry climate with strong day–night contrasts, often intense winds and some snow days in winter. Carry water, sun protection and warm layers.
    • A boat trip under the Los Gigantes cliffs Wind and swell change the comfort and operation of marine excursions. Reconfirm with the provider and keep a land-based plan.
    • A swim in Garachico’s lava pools Waves can make the pools unsafe. The lava paths and the old town still make the visit.
    • A walk in Anaga If cloud, rain or footing makes the trail unsuitable, spend the day around Taganana and nearby viewpoints instead.

    Readings are measurements from Open-Meteo. Whether a bus or a boat trip runs is for TITSA and the boat’s operator to say, not this panel.

    Good questions

    A little less guesswork.

    Clear answers for your first ride, and the next one.

    Is there a bus from Tenerife South Airport to Puerto de la Cruz on a public holiday?

    Yes: line 343 runs from Costa Adeje through TFS and Tenerife North to Puerto de la Cruz station, a few trips a day. On a public holiday such as 12 October or 2 November use its Sun & holidays table, not the weekday one; the board switches to it on those dates. At TFS take the 343 heading north, towards TFN and Puerto, not the one heading for Costa Adeje.

    Can I get to Taganana and Almáciga and back by bus on a public holiday?

    Yes, on line 946 from Santa Cruz Intercambiador over the ridge via San Andrés and El Bailadero, about an hour to Almáciga. On a holiday use the Sun & holidays table. The returns leave Almáciga and pass Taganana a few minutes later; there are few of them and no other bus, so choose yours on the board before you set off.

    Can I visit Masca village by bus on a Sunday and come back the same day?

    Yes, on line 355 from Santiago del Teide. TITSA prints Mondays, Tuesdays and Sundays on a table of their own, separate from Wednesday to Saturday, and its school-day trips do not run on a Sunday. Some trips end at Masca instead of going on to Buenavista, and the board says which. The village by bus is not the gorge walk, which is booked separately and ends at the sea with a boat.

    My flight lands at Tenerife South late on a Friday night: is there still a bus to Costa Adeje?

    Yes: night line 711 runs through the night via Los Cristianos to Estación Costa Adeje, and at TFS it boards at Departures, not at the arrivals stop. Its small-hours trips sit at the end of Friday's tab, after the evening ones: stay on the day you land and read past the evening rows. Count from when you have your bags, not from touchdown, and know which 711 you would take if you miss the first.

    Is there a wheelchair-accessible bus from Costa Adeje to Teide and back?

    TITSA says line 342 runs with a vehicle adapted for passengers with reduced mobility: one bus up in the morning from Estación Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos, one back in the afternoon from El Portillo, the Teleférico and the Parador. That covers the bus, not the paths in the park, the cable car or a guaranteed wheelchair space: check those with the park and the cable car before you go.

    Checked TITSA: Line 342 timetable

    A few hours between flights at Tenerife South with children: can we reach Costa Adeje and get back?

    Only as a short outing. Line 40 runs every day between TFS, Los Cristianos and Estación Costa Adeje, 40 minutes by TITSA's page. Start counting when you are actually out with your bags, and choose a return that reaches the airport at least an hour before you must be there, never the last one that fits. TITSA takes an unfolded pushchair only when the space is free and asks you to fold it on buses with steps; room for suitcases is not promised, and do not count on the airport keeping them.

    Can I visit La Gomera for the day without a car?

    Yes, by ferry from Los Cristianos to San Sebastián de La Gomera: Fred. Olsen Express and Baleària Canarias both run it, about 50 minutes. Book the outward and the return sailing for your date on the operator's own site before you go, be at the terminal by the check-in time it gives, and let the last sailing back, not the bus, decide the day. Los Cristianos is on line 40 from the south airport; the walk from the stop to the pier is about 15 minutes.

    From Puerto de la Cruz: can I see the Roques de García and El Portillo in one day by bus?

    Yes, as a circuit: line 348 up to the Parador by the Roques de García, the rocks on foot, line 341 from the Parador towards Portillo Bajo (two trips a day), and the 348 home, which TITSA times at El Portillo. TITSA names Portillo Alto, the visitor centre and Portillo Bajo as three stops, so ask the 341 driver where to get off for the 348. The guide prints both boards; no connection is guaranteed.

    From Costa Adeje: can I see the Teide visitor centre and the Roques de García by bus?

    Yes, as a circuit: line 342 up to the El Portillo end of the park, line 341 from Portillo Bajo back to the Parador and the Roques (two trips a day), and the 342 home from the Parador. Ask the driver which of Portillo Alto, the visitor centre and Portillo Bajo the 341 leaves from, and take a 341 that leaves a wide margin before the one bus home. The visitor centre's own opening has not been checked here.

    Checked TITSA lines 342, 341

    Cruise call in Santa Cruz: can I see Anaga by bus and be back for all-aboard?

    Only on a long call, and only on an early return. Line 946 takes about an hour each way from Almáciga, with few buses. Count back from all-aboard: take off the walk to your quay and at least an hour of buffer, then choose a return that reaches Santa Cruz before that point, never the last bus and never the one before it out of habit. No bus guarantees the ship; La Laguna on line 15 or the tram is the safer port day.

    The cruise-port guide →

    Checked TITSA lines 946, 15

    Can I get from Tenerife North to Tenerife South Airport by bus in time for my flight?

    Line 343 links the two airports directly, with four trips each way on every day type, at different times on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays-and-holidays. What counts is the time it reaches TFS against your airline's check-in close, not its departure: if the only 343 that fits arrives after check-in closes, it is not a plan. The alternative is line 20 to Santa Cruz and line 10 to TFS, with a change, or a taxi; the guide prints the 343 board for your day.

    Can I flag down the 348 at Aguamansa on the way back to Puerto de la Cruz?

    Not reliably. TITSA's note says that towards Puerto de la Cruz the bus does not pick up at stop 4254, Aguamansa, unless it is stopping there to set someone down. Board the 348 at a stop TITSA times on the way back (the Parador, the Teleférico or El Portillo) instead of waiting for it in Aguamansa.
