All ferry routes in the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are connected by a dense network of ferries. This links all the islands of the archipelago with each other and with the Spanish mainland.

Ferries from the Spanish mainland to the Canary Islands

Connections from Cádiz

There are regular ferry connections from the Spanish mainland to the Canary Islands. The main departure point is the port of Cádiz in Andalusia. Naviera Armas operates routes from Cádiz to several Canary Islands - in particular to Gran Canaria and Tenerife, with stopovers on Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. These crossings take place once or twice a week and last around 36 to 40 hours.

Connections from Huelva

From Huelva there is a joint ferry line operated by Fred. Olsen Express and Baleària. The route leads from Huelva first to Gran Canaria and then to Tenerife. There are 3 departures per week with a crossing time of around 34 to 40 hours.

Ferries between Tenerife and Gran Canaria

The two largest Canary Islands are connected by very busy ferries. There are numerous daily crossings by two shipping companies:

Fred. Olsen Express: runs between Agaete (Gran Canaria) and Santa Cruz de Tenerife with up to 8 departures daily. The journey time is only 80 minutes.

Naviera Armas: serves the route between Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife with up to 6 departures daily. The crossing takes around 1 hour 40 minutes.
