El Teide Bus, Quick Facts
El Teide Bus Tour, The Cheapest Way To See The Volcano
No rental car? No problem. This El Teide bus tour from south Tenerife is the most budget-friendly way to visit Teide National Park: hotel-area pick-up, the best viewpoints, about 90 minutes of free time at Los Roques de García, and you are back by early afternoon with money left for dinner.
Got a minute? The full El Teide bus tour story below is short, honest and written by us, including the cable car truth most sellers skip. Scroll on.
The Teide Cable Car, Let's Be Honest
Ta wycieczka obejmuje nie include the Teide cable car, and that is on purpose. The cable car is often cancelled because of wind, refunds become a hassle, and honestly, we do not think it is a must-do. So we keep this trip simple and cheap: the bus, the views, the free time.
Good to know before you go. Some guests on your bus may have their own cable car tickets. That is why the tour has generous free time at the park: the bus waits while they ride. This is normal and part of the plan, not a delay.
Want to ride it anyway? Three options: groups of 4 or more can message us and we try to arrange tickets. Or buy your own ticket on the official cable car website after booking. Or try your luck on the day, it depends how busy it is.
One more truth. The cable car does not go to the very top of Teide. The summit needs a special permit. For that, see our guided Mount Teide hike with permit.
Most guests skip the cable car, walk around Los Roques, take the photos, and love it. One tip: Teide National Park sits above 2,000 meters, so it can feel cold in winter and hot in the summer sun. Bring a warm layer and water.
