Taxi and transfer from Gran Canaria Airport to Puerto Rico

You can reach Puerto Rico by private transfer, shared shuttle, or public bus. A private transfer meets you after landing and takes around 35 minutes straight to your address, whereas a shared shuttle bus reaches your accommodation in around an hour with stops along the way. The Global route 91 bus runs directly, taking around 37 minutes, hourly between 06:00 and 21:00. Metered taxis can be found outside the terminal.

Puerto Rico is around 48 km southwest of Gran Canaria Airport, on the island's southern coast beyond Maspalomas. The route runs along the GC-1 motorway, which is fast and well maintained. Puerto Rico is built up the sides of a steep valley, so hotels can sit some distance above the beach even when they share an address.

Reaching Puerto Rico in a private transfer takes around 35 minutes along the GC-1 motorway, whereas shared transfers take around an hour, with stops at other accommodation along the route. Journey times can extend during peak season when the southern resorts are at their most heavily populated.

Gran Canaria Airport has a direct public bus to Puerto Rico on Global route 91, running hourly from 06:00 to 21:00 and taking around 37 minutes. The bus stops above Playa de Puerto Rico, so reaching Playa de Amadores or other spots further along the coast of Puerto Rico requires a local taxi or bus.

A metered taxi from Gran Canaria Airport to Puerto Rico costs anywhere between €45 and €90 depending on the time of day and exact address. Fares are not fixed, and a surcharge applies on night hours, Sundays and public holidays. Suntransfers offers a fixed price confirmed at the point of booking with no meter running in traffic.

You can book a return private transfer or shared shuttle with Suntransfers, which picks you up from your accommodation and takes you directly to the airport. A public bus also runs from Puerto Rico bus station to the airport. Transfers operate 24 hours a day, covering early morning departures before the bus starts running.

Sports equipment including golf clubs can be added as an extra at the point of booking, so a suitably sized vehicle is assigned before you travel. Puerto Rico sits close to Anfi Tauro Golf and is one of Gran Canaria's main watersports destinations, with surfing, diving and snorkelling along the coast, making this a common request on this route.
