Puerto de la Cruz To Teide Bus Tour From The North
This tour is only for guests staying in Puerto de la Cruz. It works well for families, couples and solo travellers who want to visit Teide without renting a car or committing to a full day. The afternoon departure means no early alarm: your morning stays free, and you still get to see one of Europe's remarkable volcanic landscapes. It runs twice a week, on Monday and Thursday.
Tour Times, Pricing And Pickup
This bus tour from Puerto de la Cruz to Teide departs Monday and Thursday only, with hotel pickup between 12:00 and 12:30. You are back in Puerto de la Cruz between 17:00 and 17:30, with plenty of time to freshen up before dinner.
What You Will See On This Teide Bus Tour
The route heads inland from Puerto de la Cruz through the Orotava Valley, one of the more scenic drives in Tenerife. As you climb, the landscape changes fast. By the time you reach Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, you are at over 2,000 metres with views that stretch across the island.
The main stop is the Roques de Garcia, where you have free time to walk the accessible path and take in direct views of Pico Viejo and Teide's summit. Your official guide is on hand to explain the volcanic history and point out what you are looking at. Most guests say this stop alone is worth the trip.
⚠️ What About The Cable Car?
The Teide cable car is optional and not included in the tour price. During your free time in the national park you can either explore the Roques de Garcia area on foot or take the cable car up towards the summit crater. Both are good options, it just depends what you want to do with your time up there.
If you want the cable car, book your tickets in advance on the official Teide cable car website (search for Teleferico del Teide). They sell out fast and you cannot buy them at the park on the day.
Honest tip: we usually do not recommend booking the cable car for this tour. It gets cancelled often due to strong winds at altitude, more than most people expect. If it is cancelled on the day, you lose your ticket money and you have spent your free time waiting rather than exploring. Walking the Roques de Garcia path gives you a guaranteed experience, and the views from there are just as good.

Cancellation And Tour Policy
Payment
- You pay the full price online. This holds your place. We handle any refund for you.
Your Free Cancellation Window
- 1 to 3 people: free up to 48 hours before the trip.
- 4 to 7 people: free up to 4 days before.
- 8 or more people: free up to 7 days before.
- Big groups are hard to refill at the last minute. That is the only reason. If your group only gets smaller, tell us at least 48 hours before and we lower the price. To cancel, email office@clubcanary.com.
After Your Free Window Closes
- You cancel after your free window, but more than 24 hours before? You get 75% of your money back.
- You cancel between 12 and 24 hours before? You get 25% of your money back.
- You cancel less than 12 hours before, or you do not show up? You do not get money back. Our partner charges us the full price either way.
The Only Exception
- The only exception is a real doctor or hospital paper that says you cannot join. It must have a date from before the trip, or the same morning. A paper made after the trip does not count. We need this document for our partner. Feeling unwell without this paper is not enough for a refund. We know this is strict, and we are sorry, but it is the only way we can protect against last-minute cancellations.
Missing The Bus
- During the tour you get free time at some stops. Your guide tells you a clear time to be back. If you are not back in time, the bus leaves and you do not get money back. Every bus has GPS, so we can check all pickups.
By Booking You Accept This
By booking with Club Canary, you confirm you have read and accepted this policy. It is not to make things difficult. It is what lets us offer easy booking with a small deposit in advance. A deposit alone does not cover the cost of a no-show or a last-minute cancellation. That is why these terms exist. If something genuinely goes wrong, talk to us. We will always try to find a fair solution.

Club Canary's Honest Take
Real talk from your local team in the Canary Islands
This tour is genuinely good, but only if you are staying in Puerto de la Cruz. It does not pick up anywhere else in Tenerife. If you are based in the north and you want to see Teide, this is the most convenient option you will find.
It is a half-day trip. You will not see everything Teide has to offer in 5 hours, and that is fine, that is not what this tour is for. What it does well is get you up there without an early alarm, without renting a car, and without spending your whole day on it. Pickup is at noon, you are back before dinner, job done.
Not a full Teide day trip, but if you are in Puerto de la Cruz and want to see the volcano without the early start, this is exactly what you need.
