Tenerife Port Mini Guide

Tenerifes main port is in its capital city Santa Cruz and many tourists on cruise ships arrive there every year. Cruise companies which use Tenerife port include P & O and Arcadia. It would normally be a 15 minute walk in the blistering sun for tourists who arrive at Tenerife port to get to Santa Cruz city. However, if you are on a cruise and want to make the most of your trip, pick up a Rhino rental car at the port so that you can zip around and see as much of Tenerife as possible. This also gives you the freedom to do so on your own without having to pay high tour prices.

The volcanic island of Tenerife has something for everyone and has now turned its attention fully to making money from tourism having experienced poverty for years with an economy based on banana production. Bananas grow very well on Tenerife as do many others fruit and plants which is why the locals call Tenerife the island of eternal spring.

Tourism does very well here with a large amount of Germans, Spanish and English drawn to the fine year round beach weather. Tenerife has since developed an infrastructure to cope with the influx of holiday makers and good bars, restaurants and hotels abound on the island.

One place which must be visited in Tenerife is El Teide, the massive volcano which towers almost 4,000 metres above sea level. The Canary Islands are a Spanish territory and El Teide is the tallest peak in Spain, making it a good challenge for sightseers and hikers. The Canary Islands archipelago is actually a string of underwater volcanoes with El Teide being the most impressive.

Another reason why you will want to make use of your Rhino rental car before you get back to Tenerife port is that Tenerife has duty free shopping (despite being a member of the European Union) which means that it has some of the cheapest prices in Europe. Head into Santa Cruz to look for bargains on cigarettes and alcohol, but beware of purveyors of electronic goods – what seems like a reasonable deal will often be a sham.

At Tenerife port you can get inter island ferry connections with the rest of the Canary Islands such as Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. These islands are spread out in the Atlantic Ocean to the north west of Morocco.
