Here are some useful tips for your ferry trip from Gran Canaria to La Graciosa:

• The port in Gran Canaria can get busy, especially during the summer, so it is best to be there at least 45 min ahead of your ferry’s departure, for a smooth boarding process.
• The sea can get a bit choppy, so if you are prone to seasickness, consider taking motion sickness medication before the trip. As always, you can discuss your options with your doctor or pharmacist.
• You can only get to La Graciosa by ferry from Lanzarote, so the island is less crowded than the rest of the Canaries. Get away from the hustle and bustle by planning a day trip to La Graciosa!
• Don’t forget to pack your swimwear, towel and sunscreen when you head out to the beaches in La Graciosa, which are some of the finest in the Canaries!
• As cars are not allowed on La Graciosa, bikes are one of the best ways of exploring the island. You can bring your own or rent one and follow the various trails on this beautiful volcanic island.
• La Graciosa is one of the smallest (and prettiest) Canary Islands, but there are many more amazing destinations that you can easily travel to by ferry. For more ideas and information, you can check out our comprehensive guide on island-hopping in the Canaries.
