Santa Cruz de Tenerife: ferries, timetables and prices
Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the main commercial port on Tenerife and one of the most important ferry hubs in the Canary Islands. From here you can sail with your vehicle to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the Spanish mainland (routes to Huelva and Cádiz) and, depending on the season and company, to other islands such as La Palma, La Gomera and Lanzarote. These routes are widely used by residents, workers, freight and holidaymakers travelling with cars, vans or on foot. On TheBato you can compare ferry companies, timetables and prices in a single search, add your vehicle and choose your seats or cabin, with support in English and Spanish.
