Ferry from Lanzarote to La Graciosa

About Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the fourth largest and the most easterly of the Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. Born out of volcanic activity more than twenty million years ago, Lanzarote features spectacular countryside and out of this world scenery. With constant warm, spring weather, it truly is a great holiday destination to be enjoyed all year round. To the south east of the island you’ll find Arrecife, its capital and main departure port. From here you can connect with other canary islands including Tenerife, Gran Canaria and La Palma. Ferry crossings between Lanzarote and mainland Spain are long but operated by modern ferries which provide a pleasant journey. Playa Blanca on the south western side is the port of departure for crossings from Lanzarote to neighbouring Fuerteventura.

About La Graciosa

Often referred to as the ‘eighth Canary Island’, La Graciosa sits just offshore from Lanzarote’s north coast, the most north-easterly of the main islands. For a great daytrip when visiting Lanzarote, look no further than La Graciosa, a small yet beautiful island, home to only five hundred permanent inhabitants and fringed entirely by golden sand. Surrounded by one of two marine reserves in the Canaries, diving in turquoise water is one of the best attractions, while excellent surf breaks can be found off Playa Francesa on the south coast. Bikes can also be hired to explore the winding dirt tracks, offering sumptuous views of Lanzarote in the distance. Ferries from Lanzarote make the twenty five minute journey nine times a day, with a choice of excellent ferry operators departing from Orzola and arriving in Caleta del Sebo on La Graciosa’s southeast coast.
