Tenerife makes the perfect base to explore the Canary Islands with direct flights available to all of the other islands and ferry connections with all of the western islands as well as Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

The majority of Inter-island flights operate from Tenerife North Airport with the southern airport used mostly for international flights. CanaryFly and Binter operate these routes using fleets of ATR 72 twin-turboprop aircraft.

Both Fred Olsen and Naviera Armas offer services between Los Cristianos and La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro and between Santa Cruz and Gran Canaria.

    Hi, what is the best method of getting to a hotel in Playa del las Americas from my hotel in Puerto de la Cruz? Thanks

      I think that the best way would be to get the 343 bus from Puerto de la Cruz to the Magma bus stop near Playa de las Americas. Taxis to/from the hotels to the bus stops shouldn’t be too expensive.
      Otherwise, you could try to agree a price with a taxi driver to go direct, but it’s a long journey and might be expensive.

    Hi,
    We have been in Tenerife since October 19th and plan to go to Gran Canaria on January 3rd next.
    Do we have to do anything required to fly there since we will have been here for 10 weeks at that stage
    Thank you,
    NH.

      Hi, It is my understanding that you are exempt from having to take a new test, but you will need to present a ‘declaration of responsibility for non-residents’ form along with documents that prove you arrived in the Canary Islands before the new requirement came into effect.

    Hello
    I am going to fly from Gran Canaria to Tenerife. I was wondering how early I need to be at the airport before departure for internal flights

    Thanks.

      Hi, If you have hand luggage only, I would say an hour. If you need to check in a bag, then you should allow a bit longer.

    Hi, we plan to arrive in Tenerife by ferry. Is it possible to take a bus from the ferry port to Playa de Las Americas? Are there direct buses and how long would the journey be? Just wondering if it would be better to fly to the south airport. We are coming from Gran Canaria.
    Thank you!

      Hi, You can get the 110 bus from the Intercambiador Bus Station in Santa Cruz to the ‘Magma’ stop in Playa de Las Americas. The journey takes about 55 minutes.

    Hello.
    We are planning a trip to Canary Islands.
    We wat to go from Maspalomas to Costa Adeje, but google shows us a really really long route.
    We where wondering, is there any direct (more or less) both between the two?
    Or maybe other sugestions so we won’t have to sorund the islands?

    Thank you.

      Hi, You can either get a ferry to Santa Cruz from Puerto de las Nieves or Las Palmas. The fastest way is to fly directly to Tenerife South Airport from Gran Canaria Airport.

    Is there an internal flight from Tenerife South Airport to La Gomera if so is there a time table of flights please.

      Hi, No, there is no direct flight – you would need to fly from Tenerife North.
