How to Do Siam Park + Loro Parque in One Trip (2-Day Plan + Transport)

Jan 29, 2026 Guide

Want to do Siam Park and Loro Parque in the same Tenerife trip without feeling rushed? This 2-day plan gives you the best order, best days to go, and the simplest transport options—plus backup ideas if wind, clouds, or timing don’t cooperate.

How to Do Siam Park + Loro Parque in One Trip (2-Day Plan + Transport)

Yes—you can comfortably do Siam Park and Loro Parque in one Tenerife trip by splitting them across two separate days and planning transport around where you’re staying. The easiest setup is Siam Park on Day 1 (south) and Loro Parque on Day 2 (north), starting early both days to beat queues and make shows/attractions without stress.

This guide gives you a practical 2-day schedule, best-day selection rules (crowds + weather + arrival/departure timing), and transport options from both the south and the north—with simple contingency plans if conditions shift.

Key takeaways

  • Do the parks on two separate days: water park first (Siam Park), zoo/animal park second (Loro Parque).
  • Best-day rule set: avoid your first day after arrival, choose midweek, and start early.
  • Use park-run transport where it helps: Siam Park has free shuttles in Costa Adeje/Las Américas/Los Cristianos, and Loro Parque has a free train in Puerto de la Cruz.
  • Have a weather backup for Siam Park: shift to the warmer/less windy day, or swap the order if needed.

Know the basics (locations, hours, and why the order matters)

Siam Park is in Costa Adeje in the south, which makes it easiest if you’re staying around Costa Adeje, Las Américas, or Los Cristianos. Loro Parque is in Puerto de la Cruz in the north, which makes it easiest if you’re based in Puerto de la Cruz or the La Orotava Valley.

Typical opening times are 10:00–18:00 in summer and 10:00–17:00 in winter for Siam Park, while Loro Parque is usually 9:30–17:30. Always re-check hours close to your dates because seasonal shifts and special events can change operations.

  • Siam Park seasonal hours listed by the park (summer vs winter).
  • Loro Parque timetable shown as 9:30–17:30 (Monday–Sunday).

If you’re only doing one park per day (recommended), the order matters mainly for comfort. A water park day is more sensitive to wind, cool temps, and tired legs, so it’s often smarter to place Siam Park on the day with the best forecast and energy.

Best day selection: crowds + weather + arrival/departure timing (simple rules)

If you want this 2-day combo to feel smooth, choose days based on three factors: crowd patterns, weather comfort for a water park, and where your arrival/departure days fall.

  • Crowds: weekends and public holidays tend to be busier, especially at Siam Park where queues define your day.
  • Weather: wind and cooler conditions can make a water park day feel long, even if it’s sunny.
  • Trip timing: arrival days often run late and leave you tired; departure days can cut your day short.

Use this simple rule set:

  • Avoid the first day after arrival. Save it for a beach walk, early dinner, and a good night’s sleep.
  • Choose midweek. If you can pick, aim for Tuesday–Thursday.
  • Start early. Plan to be at the gate right at opening (or on the first shuttle you can catch).

How to apply those rules to real itineraries:

  • If you arrive on a Monday, plan parks on Wednesday + Thursday (or Tuesday + Thursday if you’re confident you’ll sleep well).
  • If you depart on a Saturday, avoid putting a park on Saturday unless your flight is late evening and you’re staying near that park.
  • If you’re staying in the south, put Siam Park on the earlier day and Loro Parque second (so you don’t finish your trip with a long drive back south late at night).

Weather contingency plans for Siam Park (quick decision tree):

  • If the forecast turns cooler/windier for your planned Siam Park day, swap the park order and do Loro Parque first.
  • If both days look breezy, still do Siam Park but arrive at opening, prioritize your must-do rides early, and plan warmer breaks midday.
  • If you’re staying in the north and the south looks significantly warmer, use a direct coach or booked transfer and commit to an early start.

Your 2-day plan (hour-by-hour): Siam Park day + Loro Parque day

This schedule assumes you want a full, relaxed experience in each park without trying to “speedrun” everything. Adjust the pace based on your group (kids, thrill-seekers, or mixed).

Day 1: Siam Park (south) — ride-focused day

  • 09:15–09:45: Get to Costa Adeje / Las Américas / Los Cristianos shuttle stop (or park/arrive by taxi) and aim to be at the entrance before opening.
  • 10:00–12:30: Hit your top rides first while queues are shortest.
  • 12:30–14:00: Lunch + a slower zone to reset energy.
  • 14:00–16:30: Second wave of rides and repeat favorites.
  • 16:30–close: Easy finish: wave pool/relax zones, then head back before the last shuttle rush.

Day 2: Loro Parque (north) — animals + gardens + shows

  • 09:15–09:30: Arrive early so you can enter close to opening time (Loro Parque lists 9:30 opening).
  • 09:30–12:00: Walk the habitats while it’s cooler and less crowded.
  • 12:00–14:00: Choose 1–2 key shows/feeds that matter most to your group and build your route around them.
  • 14:00–16:30: “Second loop” to revisit favorites and cover anything you skipped.
  • 16:30–17:30: Exit smoothly and use the return train if you’re based in Puerto de la Cruz.

Plan for plenty of walking both days. It’s normal to clock 15,000–25,000 steps across each park day, depending on your pace.

Transport options (south vs north): easiest ways to move between parks

Transport is what makes or breaks this combo. Tenerife is not huge, but north–south journeys can take time, especially at peak hours.

Siam Park local transport (south): free shuttles + paid coach options

  • Siam Park operates free shuttle buses from Costa Adeje, Las Américas, and Los Cristianos with published stop lists and times.
  • The park also lists paid bus services from other parts of the island that you typically book in advance.

Example morning pickup times for the free shuttle network start around 09:30 from key stops in these resort areas, with multiple departures through late morning. Return times vary seasonally.

Loro Parque local transport (north): free express train in Puerto de la Cruz

  • Loro Parque runs a free express train in Puerto de la Cruz with departures about every 20 minutes.
  • The train starts at Plaza de los Reyes Católicos and runs to the park, then returns the same way.

Loro Parque publishes the first and last train times (first departure 9:30 from the plaza; last departure 16:30 from the plaza; last return 17:30 from the park). Check on the day in case of operational changes.

Going north ↔ south (between park areas): what to choose

  • Rental car: Most flexible, best if you’re staying outside the main resort zones.
  • Coach/bus: Good value, but you must plan around fixed departure times.
  • Taxi/private transfer: Easiest door-to-door, especially for families, but costs more.

If you want a public transport backbone for the island crossing, Tenerife’s intercity buses are a common option. For example, TITSA line 343 connects Puerto de la Cruz with Costa Adeje and passes both airports, with a published journey time around 100 minutes and specific departure times depending on weekday vs weekend/holiday schedules.

What to pack + a simple checklist (so you don’t lose time)

The easiest way to waste a half day is arriving unprepared and buying basics at tourist prices. Pack like you want to stay comfortable from opening to close.

  • Swimwear you can wear under clothes to arrive ready.
  • Water shoes or secure sandals (hot surfaces + walking).
  • Light long-sleeve layer for breezy moments and post-water chill.
  • High-SPF sunscreen and reapply schedule.
  • Reusable water bottle (refill when you can).
  • Small dry bag or waterproof phone pouch.
  • ID and the payment method you’ll use all day.

Quick checklist (night before each park day):

  • Confirm opening times and your chosen transport departure time.
  • Buy/prepare tickets and QR codes so you don’t queue at ticket windows.
  • Set a “leave hotel” time that gets you to the gate before opening.
  • Check wind/temperature, not just sunshine.
  • Pre-agree on 3 must-dos per person to avoid decision fatigue.

Costs and what drives the price (tickets + transport + upgrades)

Costs vary by season, ticket type, and how you move around the island. A simple way to budget is to separate: (1) tickets, (2) transport, and (3) time-savers/upgrades.

  • Tickets: Expect the biggest swings here, especially with combo options, resident discounts, and seasonal promotions.
  • Transport: Free local shuttles help in the main resort zones, but north–south transport can add meaningful cost.
  • Upgrades: Fast-track style passes (where available), lockers, meals, and premium seating can add up quickly.

Typical budget ranges (per adult, excluding accommodation):

  • Tickets: roughly €40–€55 per park, depending on the exact ticket and date.
  • Transport: €0–€30/day if you can use free shuttles or public buses, and €60–€160/day for taxis/private transfers depending on distance and timing.
  • Extras: €10–€60+ depending on lockers, meals, and queue-skipping options.

Prices change, and the biggest driver is usually timing (busy periods), group size (taxi vs car vs bus), and where you’re staying (north vs south).

What to ask before booking (to avoid surprises)

  • What are the exact opening and closing times on my dates?
  • Are there any planned events, maintenance, or ride/show closures?
  • What time should we arrive to enter at opening?
  • Which transport option gets us there earliest with the least stress?
  • Do we need to reserve shuttle/bus seats in advance for our route?
  • What’s the realistic return time to our accommodation area?
  • What’s our weather backup plan if wind makes Siam Park less comfortable?
