To reach Tenerife from La Palma, the shortest crossing by ferry is to Los Cristianos, but you can also get directly to the capital, Santa Cruz.
🚢 The ferries from Santa Cruz de La Palma to SC de Tenerife leave 1 time per week, usually on Friday afternoon. The only company operating on this route is Naviera Armas.
The duration of the crossing is approximately 6 hours.
➜ Why choose the ferry to Santa Cruz de Tenerife?
• It is a direct ferry. The ship does not make stops or transshipments to other islands, so the sailing time is optimized.
• It is the largest ship in the fleet. It sails on the route to Cadiz, so it is the company's largest ferry and offers the best services, but it is also the most popular!
• It takes you directly to Santa Cruz. To get to the capital, the alternative is to get to the port of Los Cristianos, which however is over 70 km away, so it can be inconvenient, especially if I travel without a vehicle!
➜ What to see in Santa Cruz de La Palma?
In recent years, Santa Cruz has been able to cope with the growing tourism without any problems, both from the point of view of infrastructure (it is the only city in the Canary Islands to have a streetcar transportation network!), and in terms of attractions and cultural proposals, offered to its citizens and to the thousands of tourists who visit it every year.
Explore Santa Cruz:
Visit the port area on foot. A short walk from the embarkations, we suggest you visit Plaza de España, with its beautiful artificial fountain, and then continue along the waterfront in a southerly direction: here you can see the Auditorium with its spectacular architecture, the Parque Marítimo with its saltwater pools, and the Palmeto de Santa Cruz, a botanical garden that features an incredible variety of flowers and plants from all over the world.
Dive into the history of Tenerife! Visit the Museum of Nature and Archaeology (MUNA) and explore the culture of the Guanches, the aborigines of Tenerife, through the most important collection of objects and artifacts that has come down to us.
Taste the flavors of the island! Visit the Mercado de África, Santa Cruz's municipal market since 1940, where you can find fresh fruit, local wine, and canned goods of all kinds that will allow you to experience the authentic flavors of Tenerife. In addition to this, the facility that houses it features distinctive neocolonial architecture that is definitely worth seeing!
