Tenerife: Loro Parque & Siam Park Entry Ticket with Transfer

Two big parks, one smart ticket. This package pairs Siam Park’s Thai-themed water slides with Loro Parque’s animal shows, and it throws in round-trip bus transfers to Loro Parque from the south. I especially like that you get a true double-day escape without the hassle of coordinating two separate entries, and that the parks are built around big, memorable set pieces (orcas and wave pools). The main tradeoff is the logistics, the bus to Loro Parque can be long, and Siam Park can have serious lines if you do not plan ahead.

If you’re traveling with kids, this is the kind of day that saves energy, because you’re not stitching together transport, tickets, and timing on your own. One more practical note: you need to choose your Loro Parque date for the transfer, and you will go through fingerprint checks for access to the second park.

Key things I’d focus on before you go

• Twin entry, separate days: You visit Loro Parque on the date you select for transfers, then Siam Park can be before or after.
• Bus transfer is only to Loro Parque: Siam Park entry is included, but you handle your own getting there.
• Animal shows are the star at Loro Parque: Expect sea lion, dolphin, and parrot shows, plus orca viewing.
• Siam Park is built for water lovers: Wave pools, raft rides, and thrill slides, with crowds sometimes.
• Fingerprint control matters: You’ll leave fingerprints to access the second park.
• Bring practical gear: Comfortable shoes, plus a plan for hot floors and water costs at the parks.

Twin ticket that makes Tenerife feel like two vacations

This is a two-park ticket bundle designed for one simple goal: make it easy to do Tenerife’s most famous family attractions in a way that feels efficient. The deal works like this. You choose which day you’ll do Loro Parque, because that’s the day that includes bus transportation. Your Siam Park entry ticket is part of the same package, but you do not get transport included for it, so you’ll either walk, taxi, or use local buses depending on where you’re staying.

The value here comes from scale. Both parks are full-day style places, and separate tickets add up quickly once you factor in the transfer convenience to Loro Parque. This bundle also gives you flexibility: even though you pick a Loro Parque date, you can still visit Siam Park on a different day without breaking the ticket.

The one caution I’d keep in mind is timing and capacity. Once you select your entry dates, you may not be able to modify the booking because the parks control capacity. So before you lock it in, think about your Tenerife rhythm, beach time, and whether you want the water park day on a cooler day.

Getting to Loro Parque: the bus ride from Tenerife South

Your pickup and drop-off are aimed at the busiest tourist base in south Tenerife, specifically around Playa de las Américas, Costa Adeje, or Los Cristianos. The package includes hotel pickup and drop-off from those zones, plus the bus transfer to Loro Parque.

Here’s the real-world part: the ride can be long. People describe it as anywhere from roughly 1.5 to 2 hours each way, with the return sometimes dragging because the bus does multiple stop-offs to drop people back in order. That means you should treat this as a day trip with a commute built in, not as something quick.

So how do you make the transit painless?

• Plan snacks and water. Park water can be pricey, and you’ll be glad you planned.
• Wear comfortable shoes, because once you’re at Loro Parque, you’ll walk.
• If you’re taller or broad through the shoulders, know the bus seating may feel tight. Bring a light layer too, buses can vary with air conditioning.

On the upside, the transfer removes the headache of getting from the south to Puerto de la Cruz area on your own. Several people highlight that pickup and entry felt organized and fairly stress-free once the bus arrived.

Loro Parque inside the shows: animals, gardens, and big moments

Loro Parque is the animal-park half of the twin ticket, and it leans hard into showtime. If you love wildlife, you will feel like you’ve entered a carefully managed system of habitats, displays, and daily performances, rather than a random zoo layout.

What you can expect at Loro Parque:

• Orcas, plus other marine animal viewing
• Dolphin and sea lion shows
• Parrot shows
• Plenty of birdlife and walk-through animal areas
• An orchid garden that gives you a break from constant show schedules

One reason this park works so well with families is that you can structure your day without constantly checking what to do next. You can jump from one show to the next, then fill in the walking sections around them. In practical terms, you end up with a balanced mix of sitting (the shows) and moving (exploring the grounds).

Also, bring the right mindset about time. The transfer means you’re not strolling the whole place at midnight. Some schedules give you a longer window and others compress your day. The best approach is to pick your must-see shows early in your planning, then let the rest be a bonus.

Small tip that changes the experience at the orca show

If you go for the orca show, prepare for splash zone conditions. One helpful detail from recent experiences: you may want a poncho, because people get drenched. Ponchos are sold on site, and one person noted the cost was around €3. If you hate being wet, plan for it in advance, it saves your mood.

Food and breaks

Lunch is not included. Expect to buy food inside the park, and plan for regular breaks. One person estimated lunch around €10, but prices can shift. The bigger point is simple: if you’re traveling with kids, pack the energy snacks you know they’ll actually eat, then buy the rest at the park if needed.

Siam Park day: wave power, raft rides, and Thai-themed thrills

Siam Park is the water-park half, and it’s different in feel from Loro Parque. Instead of animal exhibits, you get a full-on water ride schedule with a strong theme inspired by Thailand and Thai culture.

This is where the thrill seekers and the kids turn into the same happy group. The park includes water slides, experience wave pools, and raft rides. It’s also built for repeat enjoyment, because even if you do one big slide, there’s usually another ride nearby to reset your pace.

The key practical difference from Loro Parque is crowd behavior. People describe queues at Siam Park, sometimes long enough to limit how many slides you can fit in. If you want to reduce waiting, consider whether you’ll opt for a fast-track add-on, because at least one person explicitly recommended it, especially given how busy the park can get.

How to time your arrival

I like the simple strategy: arrive early. One tip that keeps popping up is to get there about an hour before opening. Fast passes can sell out quickly, so if that option interests you, think early, not last minute.

Foot comfort and getting water-ready

Siam Park is all wet fun, but the ground can be hot. A couple of people noted the floor can run very hot in some areas, and they managed without shoes, but that’s not the vibe I’d choose. If your feet burn easily, wear water shoes or sandals you can trust on slick surfaces. Also, think about what happens to your phone and small valuables, splash-proof accessories help.

And yes, some rides are intense. If your group includes someone who finds tall, fast drops too scary, plan alternate slides so the day stays fun for everyone. One booking mentioned Tower of Power felt too intense for their group.

Important note for pregnancy

Siam Park has health and security restrictions, and pregnant women will not be able to access all of the slides. If pregnancy is in your group, check your comfort and safety needs before committing to the slides plan.

Fingerprints and ticket checks: the part that catches people off guard

This package uses a fingerprint control step for park access. You’ll be asked to leave your fingerprints to access the second park for control reasons. You still need a valid ticket for both parks.

What I’d do to avoid stress is keep your ticket information organized and ready, because you’re not just scanning in once. One practical detail: you will be asked to remember which finger and which ticket mapping is used per person. That sounds fussy until you’re standing there, so treat it like a checklist step right after your first entry.

Capacity control is another reason to pay attention to date selection. Once your entry dates are set, modifications may not be possible because each park has its own capacity management.

Price and value: is $115 a smart deal?

At about $115 per person, this twin ticket package is priced for convenience and for doing two heavy-hitters in one go. The math is strongest when you compare it to buying entries separately, then adding the cost and hassle of getting to Loro Parque from the south.

Here’s how I see the value:

• Siam Park entry included: You get a full water-park day without paying separately for the ticket.
• Loro Parque entry included: You get access to a zoo-style park with major shows, plus the orchid garden.
• Transportation included to Loro Parque: For most visitors in the south, that transfer is the big convenience win.

What you should weigh against the price:

• You still pay for meals. Lunch is not included.
• You may spend extra money on on-site essentials (water, ponchos, snacks).
• You might need to manage crowds, especially at Siam Park, possibly by paying for quicker access options.

Even with those tradeoffs, the bundle feels fair if you want a genuine two-day plan built around big family attractions.

Who should book this, and who might want another plan

This is best for:

• Families who want two iconic parks with minimal planning
• Visitors staying in south Tenerife who prefer transfers for Loro Parque
• Anyone who wants both animal shows and water-slide energy without building two separate days from scratch

You might skip or rethink if:

• Your group hates long commutes. The Loro Parque transfer can take time, and the return can be slower depending on drop-off sequencing.
• You’re only interested in one park. If Siam Park is your only priority, paying for both might feel wasteful.
• You have someone who needs slide access adjustments. Pregnancy is explicitly not suitable for all slides.

Also, this works best if you’re flexible with scheduling. The package makes you choose your Loro Parque date, then you can place Siam Park on another day that fits your energy level.

Quick FAQ for planning your two-park rhythm

FAQ

Is transportation included for Siam Park?

No. The package includes bus transportation to Loro Parque, while Siam Park is included as an entry ticket without transportation.

Where are the pickup and drop-off points?

Pickup and drop-off are included from Playa de Las Américas, Costa Adeje, or Los Cristianos. The exact pickup location and time are reconfirmed by email, and it may be close to your hotel rather than directly in front of it.

Should you book this twin ticket package?

I’d book it if you want two major Tenerife experiences with less coordination stress. The biggest reasons: you get both entries, you get the Loro Parque transfer sorted from the south, and the parks themselves are built for full-day fun, with animal shows on one side and major water-ride energy on the other.

I’d think twice if you hate long bus rides or you’re worried about queues at Siam Park. If your group is sensitive to waiting times, plan an early arrival day and consider time-saving ride options you can buy on site.

If you’re ready for two iconic days and you can handle some commute time, this is one of the easiest ways to do Tenerife’s family favorites without turning your vacation into a spreadsheet.
