• Cádiz can get busy, so we recommend arriving at the port at least 45 min before departure. If you are traveling with your vehicle, it’s highly recommended to be there 1.5 hr in advance.
• The sea can get a bit bumpy, so if you are prone to seasickness, consider taking motion sickness medication before the trip. As always, your pharmacist or doctor can help you pick the right one.
• For greater comfort and privacy on your trip from mainland Spain to Fuerteventura, we recommend booking a cabin.
• Don’t forget to pack your swimwear, towel and sunscreen, and plan a visit to Popcorn Beach on the northern coast, as well as Castro Beach, one of the real hidden gems in the Canary Islands.
• To add a dash of adventure, we recommend going on a day trip from Fuerteventura to Los Lobos. Ferries depart regularly from the port of Corralejo, and the journey to Los Lobos only takes 15 min.
• From Fuerteventura you can also travel to Playa Blanca and Arrecife in Lanzarote. For all ferry connections, check out the Ferryhopper guide to island-hopping itinerary in the Canaries.
