The excursions from Puerto de la Cruz listed here come to eight, and they revolve around three things: Loro Parque, which sits in the town itself, the La Orotava valley next door and the full-day trips. Four give their departure area as north Tenerife or La Orotava, three depart in the south (Costa Adeje and Amarilla Golf) and one crosses to La Gomera from here.
Durations run from three and a half hours to twelve, so there are half-day rides and full-day outings. Six include hotel pick-up and seven come with free cancellation. Below you have each activity with its duration, departure area and guide languages.

Two products anchor the town. One is the Loro Parque ticket with transfer: eight hours, hotel pick-up and free cancellation up to 24 hours before. If you also want the water park in the south, the Twin Ticket with Siam Park puts both in one booking. The other is the free day with transfers from south Tenerife, eight hours for anyone staying in Costa Adeje or Los Cristianos who wants the day up north.
In the valley next door are the two cycling options: the half-day bike tour in the La Orotava valley (4 hours) and La Orotava by electric bike (3 hours 30 minutes), both with a guide in English, Italian, Danish and Spanish. For a full day there is the La Gomera day trip from Puerto de la Cruz: twelve hours, a guide in four languages and hotel pick-up.
What we do not have at the moment are private tours with a driver-guide leaving from Puerto de la Cruz. If you want to set the stops yourself, for now that means a hire car.

How to choose: with only half a day free, the two valley bike rides are the only things that fit. With a full day, La Gomera is the longest at twelve hours and Loro Parque the simplest at eight, with no driving of your own. Travelling as a group and want your own pace?
Four of the eight give their departure area as north Tenerife or the La Orotava valley, so they are close by if you are staying in town. Three show a departure in the south, at Costa Adeje and Amarilla Golf, and the La Gomera trip runs on the neighbouring island. Six include hotel pick-up, so the area in the table is the supplier reference point rather than the exact boarding spot. The two bike tours list no pick-up.
Seven of the eight show free cancellation and six set the deadline at 24 hours before departure. Two are flagged as likely to sell out, the electric bike ride and the Twin Ticket, so book those a few days ahead. The north is cooler and damper than the south, with more cloud, so pack a light jacket even in summer and comfortable shoes for the valley.
For other things to do in Puerto de la Cruz and nearby, see all the Tenerife North excursions and those in La Orotava. If the park is your priority, Loro Parque tickets and transfers gathers the available formats, and Teide tours covers the trips up to the national park. The full island catalogue sits under Tenerife excursions and tours.
Eight in total. Starting in the town itself are the Loro Parque ticket with transfer and the free day with transfers from the south. The two bike rides leave from the La Orotava valley next door. The list is completed by a twelve-hour La Gomera day trip and the Twin Ticket with Siam Park.
From three and a half hours to twelve. The shortest are the two valley bike rides: 3 hours 30 minutes by electric bike and 4 hours for the half-day tour. At the other end, La Gomera takes 12 hours, while the Loro Parque transfer and the free day are 8 hours each.
On four of the six, yes: the free day with transfers, La Gomera, the Loro Parque ticket with transfer and the Twin Ticket all include it. The two La Orotava bike tours do not list pick-up, so you will need to reach the meeting point under your own steam.
English and Spanish on most of them. The La Gomera day trip adds German and French. The two bike routes run in English, Italian, Danish and Spanish. The two cycling routes are guided in English, Italian, Danish and Spanish. The Loro Parque transfer lists no guide language.
Most show free cancellation, and the deadline is usually 24 hours before departure: the free day, La Gomera, Loro Parque and the Twin Ticket all work that way. The half-day bike tour also carries free cancellation, although no deadline is stated for it.
It is the longest outing on the list: twelve hours from Puerto de la Cruz, with hotel pick-up, a guide in English, Spanish, German and French, and free cancellation up to 24 hours before. It takes the entire day, so book it early and do not try to pair it with anything else.
The free day with transfers from south Tenerife is designed for exactly that: eight hours, hotel pick-up and the day to yourself in town. The alternative is the Loro Parque ticket with transfer, also eight hours and with pick-up included, if you are heading straight for the park.
Comfortable shoes and a layer: northern Tenerife is cooler and damper than the south, with more cloud, and a light jacket is welcome even in summer. For the bike routes, take sportswear and water. For Loro Parque, plan for a full day outdoors.
