Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes Transfer

Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes transfer: the easiest way to get there

The best way to get from Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Los Gigantes is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Tenerife South Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Arriving at Tenerife South Airport (TFS)

Tenerife South Airport (TFS), also called Reina Sofia, is the island's main international gateway, about 10 km from El Medano and 20-25 km from Los Cristianos, Playa de las Americas and Costa Adeje, with Santa Cruz around 62 km north-east.

A little knowledge of Tenerife South Airport makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes drive begins.

Searches for "TFS to Los Gigantes" or "TFS airport transfer" land here for a reason: TFS is the airport code for Tenerife South Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Los Gigantes.

Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day.

Taxi or private transfer from Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes?

The airport taxi fare from Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Los Gigantes involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Los Gigantes, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport from Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Tenerife South Airport runs mainly into Tenerife itself: buses run from both airports, but Tenerife South is 20-25 km from the main resorts and the north is a long drive from the south, with no railway on the island; a private car saves changes, especially with children, and is the honest choice for Los Gigantes, El Medano, Teide or a cruise transfer. Reaching Los Gigantes from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

So the honest comparison for Los Gigantes is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.

About Los Gigantes

Los Gigantes, on the west coast at Puerto de Santiago, is about 55 km from Tenerife South Airport. Los Gigantes is a small resort on Tenerife's west coast, dominated by the sheer volcanic cliffs known as the Acantilados de Los Gigantes, which rise 300 to 600 metres straight out of the Atlantic. A marina at the foot of the cliffs is the base for whale and dolphin watching trips, and the small black-sand Playa de la Arena is a short walk along the coast. Hotels and apartments climb the hillside above the harbour, the atmosphere is relaxed, and Masca village and its gorge are a short mountain drive away.

Things to do in Los Gigantes

Once you have checked in, Los Gigantes is worth exploring: Los Gigantes cliffs, Marina and whale-watching boats, Playa de la Arena black sand, Sunset views and Masca village nearby. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.

Tenerife itself is within reach for a day: La Laguna old town, Auditorio de Tenerife in Santa Cruz and whale and dolphin boat trips - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Los Gigantes

Where visitors stay in Los Gigantes: Los Gigantes marina, Puerto de Santiago, Playa de la Arena and Hillside apartments. Our Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes transfer goes to any hotel, apartment or private address there - send the hotel name and, if you have it, a map pin on WhatsApp, and the driver goes straight to the right door.

The last stretch has steep, winding roads and many stays are on the hill above the marina, so give us the exact hotel name to reach the door.

Meeting your driver at Tenerife South Airport

Where you meet your driver depends on Tenerife South Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If you choose flight tracking, your driver is at arrivals the minute you land.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Tenerife South Airport.

Our vehicles for the Los Gigantes transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

All vehicles are insured and driven by professional, licensed drivers who know the Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes road. Child seats are provided on request, and there is no extra charge for reasonable luggage.

As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.

Who books the Los Gigantes transfer

Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.

The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Los Gigantes and the ride back to Tenerife South Airport are arranged in the same conversation.

How to book your Los Gigantes transfer

Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Los Gigantes. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.

Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Tenerife South Airport

Check whether you land at Tenerife South or Tenerife North before you book, since they are about 80 km apart, and share your airline, flight number and the exact hotel name; for Teide, allow extra time for the mountain road.

Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Tenerife South Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.

If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.

Los Gigantes to Tenerife South Airport: the return transfer

The same service runs the other way. For a Los Gigantes to Tenerife South Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Tenerife South Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.

On departure day the desk suggests a pickup time from Los Gigantes based on your flight and the traffic expected at that hour, and confirms it in writing; if you would like to leave earlier for last-minute shopping or a meal near Tenerife South Airport, that is arranged in the same message.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Los Gigantes transfers

We run airport transfers in dozens of cities, and the Tenerife South Airport to Los Gigantes route follows the same simple promise as every other: one fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed in writing; a driver who tracks your flight and meets you at arrivals; a vehicle matched to your group and your luggage; and a desk that answers. It is the way we would want to arrive ourselves.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
