Ferries in Tenerife

Tenerife is not an isolated island, but the beating heart of an archipelago. Thanks to an excellent network of ferries, the island serves as the perfect hub for Island Hopping and exploring the diversity of the Canaries while taking your own rental car with you.

From the Los Cristianos Port in the south, you can embark on a quick adventure to the western islands: La Gomera (just 50 minutes away), La Palma, and El Hierro. It is a magical crossing where dolphins are often spotted. On the other hand, the Santa Cruz Port connects the north with Gran Canaria in just over an hour and serves as a link to mainland Spain (Huelva and Cádiz). The two major shipping companies, Fred. Olsen Express (with their fast trimarans) and Naviera Armas (more traditional), guarantee comfort, constant frequencies, and the freedom to move across the Atlantic at your own pace.
