What's the cheapest option other than flying?



Best Answer

You can take the ferry with Fred Olsen. There should be buses from Tenerife South Airport to Santa Cruz de Tenerife. From the main bus station, there are then dedicated buses to the ferry terminal, from where there are several ferries per day to Gran Canaria. The bus from the intercambiador (bus station) to the ferry terminal (a short ride) is included in your ferry ticket.

I made the journey from Gran Canaria to La Palma, via Tenerife, last December. I have written a mini-travel report in this answer. Your journey will be:

  • Airport bus from Tenerife South Airport to Santa Cruz de Tenerife (note: I did not check how this works, I simply assume there is one). Please verify that this one indeed gets you to the intercambiador.
  • Ferry-bus from Santa Cruz de Tenerife Intercambiador to the ferry-harbour. This is included in your ferry ticket.
  • Ferry from Santa Cruz de Tenerife to Agaete on Gran Canaria
  • Ferry-bus from Agaete to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The bus departs from right outside the ferry. To be sure you might want to ask; I took it in the other direction. The bus is included in the ferry ticket. This bus takes you to the office of Fred Olsen in Las Palmas, from where it's a short walk to the Santa Catalina bus station.
