Travel from a south Tenerife hotel or nearby pickup point to Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz. Your ticket covers admission and skip-the-line entry, leaving roughly six to seven hours for Planet Penguin, animal presentations, Katandra TreeTops, and the park’s gardens. English and Spanish support is available.
“Loro Parque was fantastic and very well maintained, we loved it. We will definitely go back there but I don’t recommend eating there. We ate in two different places, a cafe and a grill and both were extremely disappointing (fried chicken raw inside, roast 1/2 chicken dry and tasteless, coffee with funky taste,!etc) and very expensive. There is a free train right outside that takes you to town every 20 minutes and ai really recommend doing that to get lunch in town and then coming back. The transport was not as I expected, the bus was clean and comfortable but since we were one of the first to be picked…”
