Tenerife: Loro Parque & Siam Park Entry Ticket with Transfer

This package is interesting because it turns Tenerife’s two biggest family hits into a simple two-park plan. I really like the twin ticket concept, since you can line up your water day and your zoo day without extra ticket hunting. I also like that Loro Parque includes bus transport from the south, so you are not stuck figuring out timing and parking. The main drawback is that the coach ride can be long, and your return drop-off time can stretch depending on the pickup order.

What I love most about the shape of the day is that Loro Parque is built for steady walking and big shows, while Siam Park is all about water-slide momentum and getting your timing right. The real “gotcha” at Siam Park is the heat and the lines when you hit the rides at peak times. Plan your day with that in mind, and you’ll get far more fun per minute.

There’s also a small admin step that matters. You’ll be asked for fingerprints for control reasons, and you should keep your tickets organized for both parks. If you are traveling with kids, or you are an orca-and-dolphin fan, this is a strong value play. If you hate any waiting, you’ll want to get strategic about Siam Park timing and any fast-lane option.

Key highlights worth knowing before you go

• Two parks, one bundle: Use Siam Park whenever it fits, and use Loro Parque on the date tied to the included transfer.
• Transport is real, not an afterthought: Hotel pickup and drop-off plus bus transfer to Loro Parque from the south.
• Loro Parque’s show schedule is the star: Orca, dolphin, sea lion, parrot, plus birds and the orchid garden.
• Siam Park is thrilling, but queue-aware: Expect waiting at popular slides, especially on hot days.
• Fingerprint control links your visits: You need the full ticket setup for both parks.
• Lunch is not included: Water and food add up inside the parks, so plan around it.

A two-park plan that actually works from Tenerife’s south

If you are staying around Playa de Las Américas, Costa Adeje, or Los Cristianos, this is one of the easier ways to hit both parks without turning your trip into a rental-car spreadsheet.

Think of it like this: Loro Parque is your “transport day,” with pickup and a coach transfer built in. Siam Park is your “ticket day,” meaning you get entry but not transport. That matters because Loro Parque is the one further from the south hotels, so the included bus saves you the most hassle.

And the parks themselves are different enough that you get two separate moods in one package. Loro Parque is animals, gardens, and timed shows. Siam Park is water, speed, and Thailand-themed fun where the day can get wet fast and the lines can get long.

How your dates are set up, and how to keep them straight

When you book, you pick a reservation date. You should choose the day you want to visit Loro Parque, because that is the date tied to the included transportation.

Once you select your entry dates, you cannot modify the booking because each park has capacity control. This is not the kind of ticket you want to treat casually at the last minute.

One helpful detail: even though Loro Parque gets the transfer date, you can visit Siam Park before or after your Loro day. So if you prefer to do the water park first to start the vacation with a splash, you can. Or do Loro first so you are not burning energy on slides when you are still fresh from the coach ride.

Loro Parque: animals, orchids, and the big show lineup

Loro Parque is the day that earns your ticket value. It is a full zoo experience where the highlights are not subtle. You are looking for birds, orcas, dolphins, and other sea-life moments, plus staged shows that move on schedule.

What you should plan to see

Here’s what stands out when you’re there:

• Orca and dolphin shows: These are typically the headline acts people remember, and the park is organized so you can catch the schedule without feeling like you are guessing.
• Sea lion and parrot shows: They add variety beyond the marine stars, and they are great for kids who want action.
• Orchid garden: It’s not just animals. The gardens give you breaks from crowds and a calmer pace between shows.
• Lots of animal variety: Beyond the major performances, there’s enough to keep you walking for hours.

The key is to treat Loro Parque as a real time commitment. Give yourself the full day. Many visitors mention they feel like the park is worth doing properly, not just popping in for one show.

Where the ticket checks come in

Loro Parque is also where the two-park control system kicks in. You will be asked for fingerprints at the second park access stage. You also need to show valid tickets for both parks.

In practice, this means you should keep everything in one place, and do not assume you can replace a lost ticket later. It is a simple step, but it prevents headaches if you keep your stuff organized.

A realistic note about timing

From the south, the coach ride is the biggest time variable. Some people get picked up earlier and spend more time on the way there, then get shorter time back. Others get the opposite. Either way, once you’re at Loro Parque, you’ll likely feel like the trip was worth it when you sit down for the major shows and watch the animal presentations.

Siam Park: Thailand-themed thrills with a queue reality check

Siam Park is the water park day. The vibe is Thai-inspired, and the rides are built for big “wait, was that really that fast?” moments. The best parts are the big water experiences like wave areas and water slides, plus raft-style rides that keep groups together.

What you’ll want to prioritize

When you plan what to do first, focus on the rides that are hardest to fit later:

• Wave pool experiences: This is the signature energy of Siam Park.
• Big slides: If you chase the major ones early, you give yourself more flexibility later.
• Raft rides: These help families because you can plan your day around getting everyone on together.
• Fun for all ages: There are enough “family safe” choices that the day does not collapse into only the scariest attractions.

On hot days, the biggest enemy is not only queues. It’s also the ground temperature. The park floor can be hot, so shoes that can handle wet walking are a smart move.

Queue strategy I actually recommend

You do not have to buy anything extra to have fun, but you do have to be smart about timing. Expect waiting at popular rides. If lines frustrate you, consider getting there early. Some visitors advise being at the park around opening time so you can knock out more slides before peak crowds hit.

If you do buy a fast-lane option, it is usually because you want fewer pauses in the sun and more time on water rides. That trade-off can be worth it for families who cannot tolerate long waits.

Small safety and comfort tips that save the day

• If you hate being drenched, you still will get wet at Siam Park. Plan for it.
• Many people recommend a splash poncho for major shows or splashy ride areas. It’s one of those cheap purchases that keeps the rest of your day from feeling miserable.
• If you are traveling with kids, wet shoes or footwear that works on hot, slippery surfaces can prevent constant foot pain and slipping.

Also note one restriction: pregnant women will not be able to access all slides for health and security reasons.

Getting there from the south: bus ride times, pickups, and patience

The transfer is one of the best reasons to book this. You get hotel pickup and drop-off from the south zones listed, and then a bus transfer to Loro Parque.

But be honest with your expectations about the ride.

• The outbound ride from Tenerife’s south can take about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on pickup points.
• The return ride can be longer. Some people report close to 3 hours, often because of the order of drop-offs.

This is not necessarily a problem with the operator. It’s just how group transport works when they collect and drop off multiple hotels. If you are on a tight schedule for dinner or another activity that evening, plan a buffer.

How to make the coach day easier

• Bring water. Inside the parks and on-the-day purchases can get expensive.
• Wear comfortable shoes for walking at both parks. Your feet will do a lot more work than you think.
• Expect pickup times to be “near your hotel,” not always exactly at your door. The supplier reconfirms the exact pickup time and place by email, so check your spam folder if you don’t see it.

Some people also note that the bus can be efficient once it starts moving, and that the journey can feel stress-free compared to DIY transport.

Value check: when this twin ticket makes financial sense

At about $115 per person, you are paying for two entries and one set of transport support. The value depends on two things: how you’d get to Loro Parque on your own, and how likely you are to buy separate tickets.

If you were doing this independently, you’d still pay for both parks. The extra question is how much time and cost it would take you to get to Loro Parque from the south, especially if you don’t want to drive.

This package wins when:

• You want Loro Parque’s transfer without the planning headache.
• You plan to go to both parks on a realistic schedule.
• You’re traveling as a group where saving time matters more than chasing the cheapest option.

It loses a bit if you are the type who only wants one park day, or if you are not sure you’ll commit to Siam Park right away. You also need to accept that lunch is not included, so you will spend extra inside the parks.

One more value note: some visitors decide they want a fast pass at Siam Park because queues can get long. If you go that route, the “deal” becomes a bigger day budget. Still, for families and water-ride fans, fewer lines can feel like money well spent.

Who should book this, and who might be better off skipping it

This twin ticket with transfer is especially well suited to:

• Families who want two headline parks without the hassle of independent logistics.
• Animal lovers who want major shows, not just a walk-through.
• People staying in the south who prefer coach transport over driving up to Loro Parque.
• Travelers who like structure, meaning they want pickup, entry flow, and a day that runs mostly on rails.

It’s not a great fit if:

• You have strong discomfort with long coach rides and uncertain drop-off timing.
• You are very sensitive to queues at busy times in summer.
• You are traveling with someone who is pregnant. Access to all Siam Park slides may not be possible.

If those situations apply, you can still enjoy the parks. You’d just want a different kind of plan.

Practical tips to get more fun per hour

Here’s what I’d do to make this day flow smoothly, using the real-world friction points that come up often.

Keep your ticket system tidy

You’ll need the valid setup for both parks. Because fingerprints are used for control reasons and you should be able to access both parks, don’t let your tickets become a scavenger hunt. Keep everything in one small pouch, and store it where you can find it fast.

Choose your Siam Park timing like it matters

Siam Park queues can be a serious part of the experience. If you want more slides and fewer waiting-in-the-sun moments, arrive early. If you are willing to add a fast-lane option, it’s usually because you want to reduce that waiting.

Dress for water and hot ground

• Comfortable shoes are a must for walking.
• The Siam Park floor can get hot, and wet surfaces are slick, so shoes that do not hate water help.
• Consider a poncho for splashy moments so you can stay comfortable longer.

Don’t forget the small money stuff

Lunch is not included. One review note put lunch around 10 euros in the park, and water is often pricey once you’re inside. I’d plan a simple meal strategy before you get hungry and surprised.

Should you book this twin ticket with transfer?

I think you should book it if your goal is a low-stress Tenerife plan with maximum variety: orcas and birds in one day, then Thailand-themed water thrills the next.

It’s also a good pick if you are staying in the south and you don’t want to handle the logistics of getting to Loro Parque. That included bus transfer is the part that saves you real effort.

Skip booking, or at least rethink the schedule, if you hate long coach rides or you know you will refuse to wait in line. In that case, you’ll need a plan B for transport and a queue-minimizing strategy at Siam Park.

If you want the smoothest path to two top-tier parks, this twin ticket is a practical buy, with one clear condition: commit to Loro Parque on the transfer date, and give Siam Park time to work its magic once you’re there.
