Ferries to El Hierro All the ferry companies on Mr Ferry!
El Hierro is the smallest and westernmost of the Canary Islands, the Spanish archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Morocco. It is nicknamed "Isla del Meridiano" and its capital is Valverde.
Like all other islands, El Hierro enjoys a pleasant climate and mild temperatures throughout the year. The island offers a predominantly mountainous land, the highest point of the island being Malpaso. Towards the coast there are spectacular bays and coastal stretches, the most important of which are "El Golfo" and "Charco Azul".
The island is not only part of the UNESCO World Heritage Biosphere Reserve, but is also the first island in the world to be self-sufficient from an energy point of view: in fact, it has modern hydroelectric and wind power plants.
The island of El Hierro has no direct connections with Spain, but there are sea connections with the nearby island of Tenerife, which is the closest to the coast. The shipping company that operates sailings to El Hierro is Naviera Armas.
