If you prefer to travel all the way by ferry, you can go via Gran Canaria:

• Take the Lanzarote - Gran Canaria ferry.
• Then continue with the Gran Canaria - Huelva ferry.

Note: this alternative involves a change of ferry in Gran Canaria, so allow enough time between the 2 crossings when planning your trip.

Here are some useful tips for planning your journey from Lanzarote to Huelva:

• The port of Arrecife can get busy, so plan to arrive at least 1 hr in advance, or around 1.5 hr if you are traveling with a vehicle. Keep in mind that boarding closes 20 min before departure for foot passengers and 40 min for vehicles.
• As there is no direct ferry from Lanzarote to Huelva, remember you will travel by ferry to Cádiz. By car, the trip to Huelva takes around 2 hr.
• The crossing to Cádiz takes around 28 hr and includes a night at sea, so consider booking a cabin if you would like more privacy and a proper bed. Alternatively, you can book a Neptuno business-class seat for extra comfort.
• The Atlantic can sometimes be choppy. If you are prone to seasickness, ask your doctor or pharmacist about suitable seasickness remedies before traveling.
• When booking your journey from Lanzarote to Cádiz, check the Cádiz - Lanzarote ferry too. The connection normally runs once a week, so booking both crossings in advance will help you plan your trip, especially if you are traveling with a vehicle or want a cabin.
• Check out all ferries to and between the Canary Islands in 2026 to compare routes, schedules and other destinations you can add to your trip.
• If you are planning to visit more than one island, take a look at our guide to island hopping in the Canary Islands for route ideas and practical tips.

Where to take the ferry from Lanzarote to Cádiz

Ferries to Cádiz typically set sail from Muelle de los Mármoles at the port of Arrecife, which is on the eastern coast of Lanzarote. The port is around 4 km from downtown Arrecife and just over 10 km from César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport. 

At the terminal, you’ll find basic passenger amenities, including ticket offices, restrooms, and Wi-Fi. Check your booking confirmation for boarding instructions, and leave extra time to reach the vehicle boarding area if you’re bringing a car.

How to get to Arrecife port

• By car or taxi: from the airport, follow the LZ-2 toward Arrecife, connect with the LZ-3, and then follow signs for Puerto de los Mármoles.
• By bus from Arrecife: IntercityBus line 3, toward Costa Teguise, stops at Los Mármoles, near the port. Buses generally run every 20-30 min during the day. Allow around 15 min from the Intercambiador bus interchange, plus time to walk from the stop to your ferry terminal.
• By bus from the airport: take line 22 (weekdays) or line 23 (weekends), then change in Arrecife to line 3 or a taxi. Airport buses generally run every 40 min to 1 hr, depending on the service.

Where does the ferry arrive in Cádiz?

Ferries from Arrecife usually dock at the Port of the Bay of Cádiz, on the city’s northeastern waterfront. The passenger terminal is within easy walking distance of the historic center, where you’ll find cafés, restaurants, shops and hotels. There are also bus stops and taxi ranks close to the terminal for onward connections.

The closest airport is Jerez, about 40-45 km away, which you can get to in around 30-45 min by car and under 90 min by public transport. Seville is roughly 125-130 km from Cádiz (about 1.5 hr by car) and Málaga is about 225-230 km away (around a 2.5-hr drive).

How to get from the ferry port in Cádiz to Huelva

After arriving in Cádiz by ferry from Lanzarote, you can continue to Huelva by car, train or bus.

The 2 cities are around 210 km apart by road, and the drive usually takes just over 2 hr. From Cádiz, follow the AP-4/A-4 toward Seville, then take the A-49 toward Huelva. Allow extra time if you need to collect a rental car after disembarking.

Getting from Cádiz to Huelva by public transport

If you are traveling without a car, you can reach Huelva via Seville:

• By train: travel from Cádiz to Sevilla-Santa Justa, then change for a train to Huelva. The full journey generally takes around 4 hr, depending on the connection.
• By bus: take a bus from Cádiz to Seville, then change for a service to Huelva. Allow around 4-5 hr overall, including the connection. Check which Seville bus station your services use, as you may need to transfer between stations.

Tip: ferries from Lanzarote usually arrive in Cádiz late in the evening. Check the arrival time against the last train or bus to Huelva before booking your onward journey. An overnight stay in Cádiz may be the easiest option if the connections do not line up.

How to get from the ferry port to Cádiz train and bus stations

The ferry port is close to Cádiz city center. The train station and main bus station are near Plaza de Sevilla, so you can generally reach them on foot or by taxi after disembarking.

Check your arrival terminal and allow time to leave the port and collect your luggage before any onward connection. If you arrive late and plan to travel the next morning, the stations are also convenient starting points for your journey to Huelva.
