Two types of transfers are available: normal and express. The difference is that the express transfer has fewer stops, so you get to the park earlier (as well as on the way back, the same stops). The price difference is €1.

There is also a transfer bus from Los Gigantes (Puerto de Santiago) - La Arena - Isora, and Playa Paraiso.

The bus is an option to go to Loro Park, for example, bus 343 from Los Cristianos to Puerto de la Cruz departs on weekdays at 8:25, spends more than 2 hours on the road, and will pay 15 euros one way. However, the public bus is quite expensive, and you still must get to Loro Park from Puerto de la Cruz Bus Station.​​

For those who choose to rent a car and plan to drive to Loro Parque, parking is available on-site for €7 per day.
