Cabalgata Carnival 2026 – Santa Cruz Opening Night Transfer (13 February)
Cabalgata Carnival is one of the best nights to feel the real Santa Cruz Carnival atmosphere. This is not a seated show. This is the active one: walking with the parade, music everywhere, people dancing in costumes, and a city that turns into one big street party.
Important update: this listing used to be a normal “bus to Santa Cruz” transfer. Because all-day transport is no longer possible during Carnival, we changed it into a special Carnival night transfer to Santa Cruz. Same quality buses we worked with before, but organised specifically for this event night and the heavy Carnival traffic.
This transfer is perfect for guests staying in the south of Tenerife who want to join Carnival without stress. Santa Cruz gets extremely busy on opening nights, parking becomes nearly impossible, and roads are often restricted. With Club Canary you travel by bus with official access routes, get dropped as close as possible to the Carnival zone, and return comfortably around midnight.
Evening Program – Cabalgata Carnival Bus Transfer
Departure from the south
Pick-up from the main tourist areas in the south of Tenerife starts at approximately 16:30. Several buses can operate this night, and we group guests by hotel area to keep the ride smooth and as fast as possible.
Arrival & free time in Santa Cruz
Our bus uses authorised Carnival routes to get you as close as possible to the event area. After drop-off, you are free to explore. This is not a guided tour. You can walk with the parade, choose your own spots, and enjoy the night your way.
Return to your hotel
You meet again at the agreed bus location at the end of the night. Return departure is planned so most guests are back in the south around midnight. Exact pick-up points and return time will be confirmed closer to the date.
Exact pick-up times, meeting points and the final return time will be confirmed closer to the date in your booking details.
Two Carnival Events in One Night (You Can Visit Both)
On 13 February 2026, Santa Cruz hosts two major Carnival highlights on the same evening:
- Cabalgata Anunciadora del Carnaval 2026: the famous opening parade. Big energy, music, costumes, and a lively crowd moving with the parade route.
- Concurso de Carrozas y Coches Engalanados 2026: the decorated floats and cars event, full of colour and Carnival vibes.
The best part: these events are close to each other, and because you are free after drop-off, you can go where you want. Many guests enjoy the Cabalgata atmosphere first, then walk over to see the decorated cars and floats, or the other way around. You choose.
Cabalgata Carnival Transfer Prices (2026)
The price for the round-trip Carnival night transfer to Santa Cruz is:
- Adult: 50€ per person
- Child: 25€ per person
This includes pick-up and drop-off in the main tourist areas in the south of Tenerife. Due to limited bus access and high demand, availability can sell out early for this night.
Is Cabalgata Carnival Right for You?
This is an active Carnival night. Expect crowds, lots of walking, loud music, and a real street party atmosphere. It is amazing for Carnival lovers who want to feel Santa Cruz at its wildest.
- Perfect for: guests who love Carnival, dancing, street atmosphere, and don’t mind walking.
- Not ideal for: people who dislike crowds, struggle with walking, or prefer seated viewing.
Reserved podium seating is not available for this event. If you prefer a seated parade experience with the option to add podium seating, check these events:
- Ritmo y Armonía (14 February 2026) – evening parade with optional reserved seating.
- Coso Apoteosis (17 February 2026) – the biggest parade of the Tenerife Carnival.
What to Wear (Costumes Are Optional, But Better)
A costume is not required to join Cabalgata Carnival, but we strongly recommend it. It is way more fun, you feel part of the atmosphere, and you will blend in with the crowd instead of feeling like you are “watching from the outside”.
Bottom Line
If you want the most interactive Santa Cruz Carnival night from the south of Tenerife, Cabalgata is the move. No parking stress, no guessing transport, just a smooth round-trip transfer and a full night of real Carnival energy.
This night gets busy fast. Secure your spot early and enjoy Tenerife Carnival like it’s meant to be.
