Plan your ferry from Santa Cruz de Tenerife to Las Palmas

The Santa Cruz de Tenerife to Las Palmas crossing connects Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas in Spain. This route is part of the Canary Islands / Spain ferry network.

For a departure from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Santa Cruz is Tenerife’s principal ferry port and places passengers close to the island capital. The TF-1 and TF-5 road corridors provide onward access to the south and north of Tenerife.

Compare the Santa Cruz de Tenerife departure and Las Palmas arrival on the same dated itinerary.

Including this crossing in a trip from the UK

Allow for the overland journey to Santa Cruz de Tenerife before choosing the ferry. A separately booked flight, train or earlier crossing may not protect you if you miss check-in. Use local times on both sides and check entry rules for each country on your full itinerary. Travel within Europe is not automatically free of document checks.

Planning the wider journey in Spain

A direct sailing from Portsmouth or Plymouth can reduce the long drive through France. For Balearic or Canary Island ferries, allow for the separate mainland or island transfer and any restrictions on taking a hire car aboard.

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Santa Cruz de Tenerife to Las Palmas fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
