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

• Both ports in Fuerteventura, Morro Jable and Puerto del Rosario, can get busy, especially in the summer, so it’s best to be there at least 45 in advance. If you are traveling with a vehicle, we recommend being there at least 1.5 hr before the ferry departs.
• The sea can get a bit bumpy, 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.
