Tenerife to Las Palmas Ferry: Direct Boat or via Agaete
With Fred Olsen

I Love Ferry tips for going from Tenerife to Las Palmas
- If you are going to the capital without a car, Baleària's direct ship saves you a land connection in Agaete.
- If you are going to the west or northwest of Gran Canaria, the crossing to Agaete gets you closer than the one to Las Palmas.
- From the south of Tenerife, add the time to Santa Cruz to the ship's timetable and do not cut it fine.
- In bad weather, the ferry companies may change the ship or timetable; we put your mobile phone and email in the booking so they can notify you.
