Teide Tours from Costa Adeje, Las Américas and Los Cristianos
Teide tours with pickup on the south coast: the coach day with Masca, the cable car tour, small-group half days and a jeep safari, with where each picks up and what it leaves out.
From the south coast, the Teide cable car is 52 km by road from Costa Adeje, so every Teide tour from the south spends a good part of the day climbing to the park and coming back. If you want the park and the north of the island in one day, book the South Area departure of Atlántico Excursiones’ Tenerife: Teide National Park, Masca, Icod & Garachico Tour, from US$65 a person (checked November 2026), with 23 pickup locations on the south coast. If the cable car is the point, Volcano Teide’s tour picks up in the same resorts and includes the ticket.
Pick a date, then “Departure from South Area”. Both departures cost US$65.10 a person and started at 9:00 AM on the dates we read. Some pickups run only on certain days: Los Gigantes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; El Médano and Golf del Sur on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays; Ténbel on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The cable car is not part of this day, and lunch is optional and paid on the spot. Free cancellation runs until 24 hours before.
How far the park is
By our routing, without traffic, the drive to the cable car base station takes about 53 minutes from Costa Adeje (52 km), and the same from Playa de las Américas (49.6 km) or Los Cristianos (49.2 km). A tour takes longer, because it collects people from many hotels first: Volcano Teide’s cable car tour gives its coach leg 80 minutes.
