Lanzarote to La Palma Ferry: the Longest Route, in Legs
With Balearia
There is no direct daily ship from Lanzarote to La Palma. By ferry you have to leave Arrecife with Baleà ria Canarias to Santa Cruz de Tenerife (with a change in Las Palmas), go on to Los Cristianos and from there board for Santa Cruz de La Palma.
Baleà ria also publishes a connection of more than a day between Arrecife and La Palma, with very low frequency, which we do not take as certain without confirmation from the ferry company.
Fred. Olsen does not sail from Arrecife: in Lanzarote it only operates Playa Blanca, to Corralejo. For this trip, the only ferry company is Baleà ria.
Lanzarote to La Palma ferry timetable
There is no single departure from Lanzarote to La Palma. The first leg, Arrecife to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is the one that rules: according to Baleà ria it does not sail every day and varies by season. From its arrival, work out the transfer from Santa Cruz de Tenerife to Los Cristianos and choose the departure to La Palma.
The page for the opposite journey is La Palma Lanzarote ferry.
There are no departures scheduled on this route in the coming days. You can travel on these routes:
Indicative schedules and subject to variation by the ferry company for operational reasons without prior notice.
How long does the ferry from Lanzarote to La Palma take?
More than a day, adding up the legs and the waits: it is the longest journey between islands in the archipelago. Plan to sleep at least one night in Tenerife or Gran Canaria. For each leg, the timetable gives the duration and the ship.
Who runs the Lanzarote to La Palma ferry
The trip is with Baleà ria Canarias. Fred. Olsen has no departures from Arrecife; for the last leg, from Los Cristianos to La Palma, you can choose between Baleà ria and Fred. Olsen.
The Baleà ria Canarias lines that make up this trip came from the former Naviera Armas (now operated by Baleà ria) and are now operated by Baleà ria Canarias.

How to get to the port of Arrecife
