Transit between ferries on Tenerife

Transit between ferries on Tenerife

Yes, there is. However, information on internet is quite poor, therefore I describe my own experiences here.

On 21 December 2012, I travelled from Gran Canaria airport via Las Palmas, Agaete, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Los Cristianos to Santa Cruz de La Palma. The ferry company Fred Olsen operates many ferry-bus connections. I will describe my experiences below.

The airport bus from Gran Canaria has two stops in Las Palmas: San Telmo and Santa Catalina. Neither bus-stop is serviced by the ferry-bus, but rather the bus leaves from the Fred Olsen office close to El Corte Inglés, which is in turn close to the second and last bus-stop of the airport bus. Personally, I was in a hurry, and only just made it by running up the escalator, across the square and around a block, asking a few times for the way. In the ferry office, show your ferry reservation and you will get a ticket for the bus. The bus goes straigt to the Gran Canaria – Tenerife ferry.

Upon arrival at Santa Cruz de Tenerife, there is a ferry-bus connecting with Los Cristianos departing 20 minutes after arrival of the ferry. The bus waits for a delayed ferry and the next ferry waits for a delayed bus. If you have a through-ticket Gran Canaria – La Palma (or La Gomera, or El Hierro), this connection is guaranteed.
