Is there enough to do in Santa Cruz since we are only there 8 hours? Would you suggest renting a car or just staying in Santa Cruz.

Thanks

Hi Juliene again,

You could stay in Santa Cruz if you like shopping.....but If was me that was staying only for 8 hours and you are asking our opinion lol! I would not hire a car for starters because you have no idea where to go and you will only waste time.......There are local buses but you don't have much time...

There must be a tour from your ship and if it were me I would take a tour to Orotava a beautiful town then on to Puerto de la Cruz...and on to Loro Park......I'm sure they will have such a tour arranged from your ship.

You could also do the Teide trip aswell if you have enough time......beleive me I am sending you to nice places....

Enjoy......Sylla

Thanks again.

Hi Juliene

Sylla has given great advice on the places that are worth seeing and str relatively close to Santa Cruz. What day do you arrive - if it is a Sunday then we typically recognise the Sabbath as a "day of rest" so everywhere will be closed.

I am sure your cruise organiser is aware of these traditions and will offer services such as excursions that will help you make the most of your visit.
