About
Ferry travel in Las Palmas
East–west and to the mainland
From Gran Canaria, ferries run west to Tenerife and east to Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, operated mainly by Fred. Olsen Express, Naviera Armas and Baleària. A separate, much longer route links the islands with Huelva on the Spanish mainland — a full day-and-night crossing for those bringing a car from Europe. Our Canary Islands ferry guide maps the network.
