Topic: Tenerife and Las Palmas, Gran Canaria

Applicable to Late Autumn

1) Has anyone any experience of using the tram which goes up and back from Santa Cruz de Tenerife to La Laguna and what highlights are to be seen in La Laguna?

2) I would welcome any information concerning the HoHo bus in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria and any of the more interesting places it passes.

Thanking you in anticipation. ….Neil

This is worth noting that out of 51 views no one has any experience of these two DIY excursions.

I'm not going to be much help as which cruise line you chose is a matter of personal preference, most of them going to the Canaries offer very similar itineraries so it how you like your cruise ships that really counts. ....Regards, Neil

Neil,

The noddy train leaves the square next to the Las Vagas Caladonia Hotel, this is a free ride up to La Luna (Parrot Park) This is a fantastic zoo come attraction to visit and it is getting better each year. The 'Tropical' Gardens is also close by and worth a half day visit.

The zoo, and thats for want of a better word, is a good full day, 6-8 hours and a must see is the awesome penguin house. Food is pentiful inside the park, but their are restuarants just acrooss the road full full menus, with re-entry with a hand stamp.

The train does not stop anywhere else on the way there or back.

Hi Neil
We used the tram last time we were in Tenerife. Its a modern tram system opened about three years ago. It takes about 35mins to La Trinidad which is the main street in the old capital of La Laguna. The views from the tram are very good as you climb up the mountain. Not a lot to do in La Laguna, but quite interesting to walk around and is not very touristy, more the real Tenerife so it helps if you habla espanol.
Using the tram is very simple. You buy your ticket at the machine, which is at every tram stop. There is a button to press for English instructions. It takes notes and gives change but handy if you have a €5 note as the return fare is €2.45 each.

Worth it just for the ride and the views. The trams run around every 5mins.
