Want something to do in Tenerife.. take the Porta la Cruz on your own tour

 The ships’on your own shore excursion to porta la Cruz was 28 cdn on sale. It is 45 minutes away from the cruise port. You will be totally on your own. The guide doesn’t even say hello. When you get to the destination she told us the time to be back on the bus. That was the only information imparted. You are given approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Tips…

Do your research before taking this tour, print off a map or directions to the cathedral, city hall etc.

Go into the hotel where it seem all buses park, and use their toilet and ask the front desk for a map, and ask them to circle the hotel’s location, and any thing else you want to see. 

This town is a shopping Mecca, with excellent prices for all types of souvenirs, linens and beach wear. It’s much better than the cruise port.

Where they drop you off you are 5 minutes to the beach promenade. You can’t get lost as just ask the locals for directions back to the hotel you have marked on the map or in my case, it was also the surfer’s beach.

The beach is lava and very rocky, so not a swimmer beach. It’s nice to take pictures of

When we were on the way back, the bus driver played rap music and no one thanked us so no tipping required

Hope this helps
