Here are some useful tips to make your journey from Lanzarote to Cádiz as comfortable and smooth as possible:

• The port of Arrecife can get busy, so plan to arrive at least 45 minutes in advance. If you’re traveling with a vehicle, allow around 1.5 hours for a smooth boarding process.
• Since the crossing takes more than a day, it’s ideal to book a cabin for privacy and comfort. If you prefer a lower-cost option, numbered seats in the lounge or VIP area offer extra comfort for the long journey.

Regular interurban buses (guaguas) link the port and Arrecife bus station with hotspots such as Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca, Costa Teguise and La Santa. The airport is also connected by bus lines (for example 22 and 23), while taxis and rental cars offer direct and flexible transfers.
