The ferries that get you to Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the closest Island to mainland Spain and for some travelers also a good ferry start-location if you seek to travel to the Canary Islands from Spain. This guide however skips the chapter on getting to Lanzarote from the mainland but focuses on traveling to Lanzarote from the other Canary Islands.

  • From Tenerife to Lanzarote (currently there is only an indirect / not attractive route possible from Tenerife!)
  • From Las Palmas / Gran Canaria to Lanzarote
  • And the (fast) Corralejo to Playa Blanca connection that gets you from Fuerteventura to Lanzarote.

The other islands do not have a direct connection, if you want to travel from La Palma, La Gomera, or El Hierro then you need to first travel towards Los Cristianos (Tenerife) and from there on onwards you can travel to Lanzarote. Be careful though: Don't underestimate the distances between the Canary Islands. These indirect ferry routes are not that attractive.

The routes from Spain (Cadiz and Huelva) are excluded from this overview since we have a specialized guide for this: Getting from Spain to the Canary Islands. For Lanzarote, the connection from Cadiz is a very interesting one though! Be sure to check that one out if you want to go from Spain to the Islands.

Travel tip: Last ship back? Be there in time

If you want to go for a day trip towards Fuerteventura or Lanzarote and at the end of the day you want to go back with the operator you booked: Sometimes these ships can be very full. So be there in time and if you plan to go on the latest boat: this can be risky!

From Gran Canaria to Lanzarote

From Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to Arrecife is quite a long connection, in 6 hours however you will arrive at Lanzarote when you leave from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. You'll be traveling with Naviera Armas on the Ciudad de Ibiza. Which is above all a cargo ship with passenger seats instead of a passenger ship with cargo options. =) Not very luxurious but ok if you don't have very high expectations.

Ferry from Fuerteventura to Lanzarote

This is what we call a cool ferry connection. This route is very popular for day trips from or to Fuerteventura. There are 3 companies sailing on this route from Corralejo to Playa Blanca: Armas, Fred Olsen and Lineas Romero:

  • Fred Olsen, with the Bocayna Express is there in 25 minutes.
  • Armas with the Volcan de Tindaya is there in 35 minutes.
  • Lineas Romero with the Don Juan is there in 30 minutes.

There is not a huge difference between these ferries and ferry companies, since it's only a short time we would recommend just booking the ferry that has a good time for you. In terms of cost they are also more or less the same.

Ferry from Tenerife to Lanzarote

While many websites and booking engines regarding ferry trips show direct connections between Tenerife and Lanzarote this is currently not the case. You have to travel indirectly with a stopover in Gran Canaria. This makes this trip a very long option: 10 hours to go from Tenerife to Lanzarote. 

If you want to ferry hopping from Tenerife and you are considering Lanzarote, we would recommend going to Fuerteventura instead.

To Conclude: Lanzarote Connections

Google Maps is not listing all the accurate connections and also several booking engines are behind on the true connections from and towards the lovely island of Lanzarote. A few things you should know before we conclude:

  • North of Lanzarote there is a small island called La Graciosa, you can visit this Canary Island on a day trip from Lineas Romero. You have to depart from Orzola. (in the North of Lanzarote)
  • There is no direct connection between Arrecife and  Puerto del Rosario. 
  • There is no direct connection between Arrecife and Tenerife.

And then to finally conclude:

Lanzarote is a top destination from Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Spain. The indirect connections are not something we can advise you to do. If you go ferry hopping on the Canary Islands: Lanzarote is not the best option to end or start. Mainly due to the distance between Arrecife and Tenerife. However, if you want to do this and want to visit 4 islands, this is the best route to go for:

Start: Lanzarote -> Fuerteventura -> Gran Canaria -> Tenerife -> La Gomera -> Tenerife. (Fly or Ferry back) The total ferry cost of this route between the islands would be around € 600.
