The practical part
Here’s how to get there.
Confirm TFN
This guide is for Tenerife North Airport (TFN); it does not begin at Tenerife South Airport (TFS).
Checked Aena: Tenerife North Airport bus accessAena: Tenerife South Airport bus access
Use line 30
Aena lists the TFN bus stop on floor -1, in the bus parking area. Choose line 30 displayed for Puerto de la Cruz; Aena identifies it as the airport–Puerto de la Cruz route.
Checked TITSA: Line 30 timetable Aena: Tenerife North Airport bus access
Avoid the restricted stretch
Between Puerto de la Cruz station and Enlace Orotava (stop 5093), the bus does not drop off unless it is also stopping to pick up; in the opposite direction it does not pick up unless it is stopping to drop off.

Direct TFN corridor
Aena identifies line 30 as the bus between Tenerife North Airport (TFN) and Puerto de la Cruz.
Stopping restrictions matter
The restriction is specifically between Estación Puerto de la Cruz and Enlace Orotava (5093), not the airport itself. Use Puerto de la Cruz station or TFN when you need a dependable endpoint.

Late arrivals: night line 104
Aena also lists night line 104 at TFN. It runs between Santa Cruz, La Laguna and Puerto de la Cruz, and TITSA marks the trips that pass the airport, so check that mark before relying on it after a late flight.
