Board the ferry: Once boarding begins, follow the signs to the Naviera Armas vessel — either the Volcán de Tagoro, Volcán de Taidía, or Bahama Mama, depending on schedule. Friendly crew members will guide you aboard, and you can choose your seat in the comfortable lounges or relax on the outdoor deck before departure.

The fast ferry journey takes around 1 hour and 40 minutes on the high-speed service or up to 2 hours and 55 minutes on the standard ferry. On board, enjoy a range of modern amenities including air-conditioned lounges, free Wi-Fi, a snack bar and restaurant area with gluten-free options, a children’s play zone, a shop, and even pet-friendly areas for those traveling with animals.

Arrive & disembark: Upon arrival, disembark at your destination port — either Las Palmas de Gran Canaria or Santa Cruz de Tenerife — where you’ll find easy access to local transport, taxis, and nearby attractions. The ferry staff will assist you as needed to ensure a comfortable and efficient arrival.

If you’re planning a same-day return trip or a round trip on another date, you can easily book separate one-way tickets for each leg of the journey. This allows you to design a flexible itinerary that fits your travel plans — whether you’re staying overnight or just visiting for the day.

Ferries operate multiple times daily between the two ports, offering morning, midday, and evening departures. This frequent schedule makes it easy to coordinate your travel plans with your stay.
