From Tenerife’s airports to anywhere on the island
Seven destinations, each with its own route, timetable and actual journey time.
Leaving the airports in Tenerife
Seven destinations on the island with direct bus services from one of the two airports. For each one, you’ll find details of the bus route serving it, the journey time and what to do if there’s no service.
We only list places that can actually be reached by a real bus route. If a town in Tenerife doesn’t appear here, it’s because there’s no direct bus service from any airport, and we’d rather say so than make up a connection.
