Passenger Reviews
- I took the ferry from Tenerife to Gran Canaria and it was smooth and efficient. Boarding was straightforward, staff helpful with luggage, and the seating was comfortable with good legroom. The sea was calm so the crossing was relaxing, and there are decent snacks and drinks on board. Arrival at Las Palmas was quick and well-organized, with clear signs to taxis and buses. A reliable and affordable way to hop between islands.Nigel M.Solo traveler
- My solo crossing from Tenerife to Gran Canaria was pleasant and stress-free. I enjoyed watching the coastline from a window seat; the vessel felt modern and clean. Crew were friendly and gave useful local tips upon arrival. If you travel light and want a scenic, economical transfer between islands, this ferry option works well.Chris BosemanSolo traveler
- We traveled as a couple with one child and found the ferry convenient and family-friendly. There’s space for strollers and family seating areas where our child could move around safely. The crossing time was reasonable, and restrooms were clean. Onboard snack options kept everyone happy, and disembarkation was smooth with helpful staff. Overall, a comfortable and practical choice for families moving between Tenerife and Gran Canaria.Ingrid LarsonFamily couple
- Our group of six booked the ferry to Gran Canaria and the experience suited all of us. We appreciated ample seating, luggage racks, and the option to sit together. The crossing offered lovely ocean views and we chatted in the café area over drinks. Boarding and ticket checks were organized, though peak times can feel busy. Good value for the price and perfect for groups wanting a relaxed inter-island transfer.Jonathan WojcikA group of friends
