    Minimal queues in December apart from Singha and the rapids. Our favourites were Saufa, the dragon, tower of power & Singha. Had a great day out, spent about 4 or 5 hours there.
    Note there are lots of stairs up to the rides.
    Beware of the opening and closing times of the bigger rides - some open and close at 1.30pm with only a sign at the ride entrance to warn you. We missed Vulcano and Kinnaree because of this sadly.
    €7 to park there or can park at the Mall for free.

    I visited Loro Parque for the first time more than 10 years ago and I really enjoyed it then. After my visit I watched Blackfish movie about orcas and promised myself never to visit this place again.
    Fast forward 10 years - I am mum of two little kids visiting Tenerife. At our home, we have annual pass to Wetland centre and we love to visit and watch birds. Therefore, we went to visit Loro Parque (but with very mixed feelings).
    Kids loved it. Shows were probably a little bit too boring for very little kids (except sea lions!) but the zoo itself to walk and find different animals and to name them and observe them was fab.
    As older mum I really enjoyed new aquarium with coral reef - it’s beautiful.
    Please note the parking is 7 euros for full day and I would recommend to take baby carrier on top of buggy.

    It's a life time experience, all the way to the national park, you will enjoy the wonderful views, from the city of Tenerife takes about 1h30 but it's worth 100% don't miss it if you are in town.

    This was my 9th trip to Puerto, I love it, it's clean, pretty, good places to eat, Atlantis hotel for me the best, I would highly recommend. I came for my 65th birthday and my best friend and his wife came to as it was her birthday also. It was their first visit, loved it so much they are coming back in may and bringing the family. Incredible place for me to be.

    Around a 2 hour almost 6 mile walk from our hotel in the centre of Santa Cruz. A much easier €1.25 each 20 minute ride on the 910 Titsa bus on the way back.

    A lovely golden sandy clean beach with around half a dozen bars spread equidistant across the beach all offering drinks, food and chargeable sunbeds and umbrella (most a reasonable €6).

    Sea calm helped by the manmade defences that act as a small dock for very small boats.

    Weather just right.

    Excellent tour, guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Cave was extremely cool, with exploration of the main tube and secondary tubes.

    Very reasonable price. Lots of variety but unfortunately due to the time of year not many flowers in bloom. What we did see was beautiful. Would benefit from a little independent drinks van. Ticket man very helpful. Clean toilets. My friend would like to see a giraffe but we just ignore her so please do the same.
