Siam Park and Loro Parque in one plan. This package is interesting because it pairs two of Tenerife’s biggest family stops, yet it only includes bus transport for Loro Parque, with Siam Park handled on your own for the other date.

What I like most is the double-dose payoff: you get the animal shows and gardens at Loro Parque, then you switch gears to Thailand-themed water fun at Siam Park. I also like that the “south Tenerife” pickup setup makes it feel easier than trying to DIY the trip. One consideration is timing, the coach ride to Loro Parque can feel long, and Siam Park can have serious lines if you arrive later.

Key Takeaways Before You Go

• Two-park value without juggling tickets from scratch, both parks use QR access
• Hotel pickup included for Loro Parque from Playa de Las Américas, Costa Adeje, or Los Cristianos
• Animal-show focus at Loro Parque, including orcas plus sea lion, dolphin, and bird performances
• Water-slide reality at Siam Park, expect wait times unless you plan early or add fast access
• Fingerprint check links your Loro Parque visit to your Siam Park entry, so keep your details straight

A Twin-Ticket Plan That Lets You Hit Siam Park and Loro Parque

This is a two-day idea wrapped into a one-day ticket structure. The key is how you choose your dates: you pick the reservation date that corresponds to your Loro Parque visit, because that is the day tied to the included bus transfer. Then, you can use the Siam Park entry ticket on a different day before or after Loro Parque.

That matters because it changes how you should plan your Tenerife itinerary. If you’re staying in the popular south zone, you can make the transfer day your “animals day,” then make the waterpark day your “thrills and sun” day. You are not forced to visit both in one day.

You’ll receive entry access for both parks, and on the Loro Parque side you’ll get a wristband at entry (you keep your ticket too). At Loro Parque, there’s also a fingerprint step used to control access between the parks. It sounds strict, but it’s also what lets them keep the system organized when lots of people arrive.

Getting There From the South: Bus Pickup and What the Ride Feels Like

If you’re based around Playa de Las Américas, Costa Adeje, or Los Cristianos, this package is built for you. The transfer includes hotel pickup and drop-off, plus a bus ride to Loro Parque. Pickup time and exact location might not be exactly at your hotel door, but they’ll reconfirm with you and keep it close by.

Now, the honest part: the ride can be long. Multiple accounts describe a coach trip that can take around 1.5 to 2 hours each way, and the return can be slower because the bus makes many stops. I like that the process is generally described as stress-free and organized, but you still need to treat this like a real excursion day, not a quick drop-in.

Practical move: plan to bring your own water, because buying drinks inside the parks can get pricey. Also, wear comfortable shoes for all the walking you’ll do after you finally arrive.

If you get good communication from the local operator, it can make a big difference. Some guests reported clear directions via WhatsApp and helpful support from a team member named Natalia, especially when navigating pickup points.

Loro Parque: Orcas, Orchid Garden, and Animal Shows That Actually Matter

Loro Parque is not just a few cages and a quick loop. It’s a full park built around animal exhibits and scheduled performances, including orcas and dolphins, plus sea lion and bird shows. Expect a day that feels like a mix of zoo, theater, and beautifully maintained gardens.

A big standout is the orca and dolphin show lineup. Even if you don’t care about the science-y details, the performance timing is what makes the park addictive, because it gives you a reason to keep moving across different zones rather than wandering aimlessly.

You’ll also get a beautiful change of pace in the orchid garden. It’s one of those stops that breaks up the intensity of the animal shows with calmer walking and photo opportunities.

There’s also a lot built for families: multiple animal viewing areas, plus entertainment that keeps kids from feeling like the whole day is standing in one place.

Time reality check: Loro Parque is the one where you should budget for a proper visit. Many people say you need the full day if you want to catch the main shows without rushing.

How to Time Your Loro Parque Day for Maximum Shows

Here’s how I’d structure your Loro Parque day so you don’t burn out.

First, build your day around the shows. If you go only once and you skip the performances, the park can feel flatter. But if you plan to catch most of them, the whole layout starts to make sense.

Second, expect you might get wet during water-adjacent or performance-style sections. If you’re going specifically for the orca and dolphin spectacle, a poncho is worth thinking about. One common tip is that you get drenched, so bring a disposable poncho if you don’t want to carry damp clothes around later.

Third, wear shoes that can handle uneven ground and lots of walking. Even with good organization, it’s still a full park day. The official “comfortable shoes” guidance is spot on.

Finally, don’t treat Loro Parque as purely one big loop. It’s built with distinct areas, and the orchid garden plus show zones give you natural movement breaks.

Siam Park: Wave Pools, Thai-Themed Slides, and Queue Reality

Siam Park is the other half of the twin ticket, and it feels like a totally different world. The theme is inspired by Thailand, and the park leans hard into water slides, raft rides, and big water attractions like wave pools.

This is where you can plan for adrenaline and family-level fun at the same time. Even if you don’t ride the scariest slides, the park still has enough variety to keep a mixed group happy.

But here’s the tradeoff: Siam Park can get busy. Queues are a recurring theme in the experience stories, and some rides can involve waiting in the sun.

My biggest practical tip: arrive early. Getting there roughly an hour before opening was highlighted as a way to beat the worst crowd crush for popular attractions. If you’re the type who hates lines, this is the day where you should seriously consider a fast-track option. One guest mentioned a fast-track cost of about €27, and they said it was worth it for their group.

Also think about foot comfort. The park can have hot surfaces, and you might want water shoes or sandals you’re okay getting wet. Some guests reported buying wet shoes on-site, and others brought gear like splash-proof phone holders to protect devices.

The Fingerprint and QR Code System (Why Your Entry Might Feel Unique)

This package has one unique checkpoint that’s easy to miss if you assume it’s the typical “scan your ticket at the gate” setup.

At Loro Parque, you’ll be asked to leave your fingerprints as part of the control process. That fingerprint is then used to help verify you when accessing Siam Park with your second ticket.

Two things to keep in mind so you don’t get stuck. First, make sure you have the valid tickets for both parks, not just one. Second, pay attention to how the fingerprint verification is handled because you need to show consistency for the second park entry.

This system can feel a little formal, but it’s also why the parks can manage large crowds without having everything fall apart at the gates. It’s worth taking an extra second to stay alert during the process.

What You Pay for Here, and What to Budget for On Top

At about $115 per person, the value is strongest because you’re buying two major attractions in one shot. You’re also bundling in round-trip bus transfer for Loro Parque plus hotel pickup and drop-off in the south.

That combination can save money compared to buying tickets separately and arranging a transfer yourself, especially if you don’t want the stress of figuring out public transport schedules.

What’s not included is lunch. Food inside theme parks can add up fast, so I’d budget for at least one meal out. Some people noted that lunch is around €10, but it depends on what you eat and where you stop.

You should also budget for the “maybe” costs that come with reality:

• Water and snacks during long lines
• A poncho for performance areas that can drench you
• Optional fast-track access at Siam Park if you want to reduce waits

If you’re traveling as a family and you care about saving time, those extra costs can be worth it because time lost in lines is time you might never get back.

Who This Is Best For (And Who Might Want Another Plan)

This twin ticket works best for people with two priorities: animals and water slides.

It’s a great fit if:

• You’re staying in south Tenerife and want transfer support for one of the parks
• You want a full day at Loro Parque with shows, then a full day at Siam Park for water attractions
• Your group includes kids who need scheduled activities to stay engaged

It may be less ideal if:

• You hate long coach rides and lots of pickup stops. The journey can be slow on the way back.
• You’re traveling with a very small child who struggles with crowds and heat. Siam Park can be sunny and line-heavy depending on the day.
• You’re pregnant. The guidance says pregnant women will not be able to access all slides for health and security reasons.

If you’re sensitive to waiting, plan your Siam Park day carefully. Arriving early can change the whole experience.

Should You Book This Tenerife Twin Ticket With Transfer?

Book it if you want an efficient, low-stress way to do both parks without the logistics headache. The best reason is simple: you get Siam Park entry plus Loro Parque entry, and you also get a bus transfer for the Loro Parque day from the south hotels area. For many visitors, that “ride included” piece makes the whole plan feel simpler than doing it all on your own.

I’d hold off or pick a different approach if:

• You can’t handle long travel time for the transfer day.
• You are set on riding every Siam Park attraction with minimal waiting, because queues can be real unless you plan early or pay for fast access.
• You are traveling when the weather or crowd levels are likely to make waterpark lines even longer, and you don’t want to adjust your day around opening times.
