Ferry Sightseeing in Lanzarote

Seeing Lanzarote from the water is a completely different vibe than staring from the shore. The ferries here aren’t just for getting around, they offer a chance to sit back and watch how the coastline changes,from the volcanic cliffs near Puerto Calero to those quirky whitewashed fishing villages like Arrieta. I always recommend grabbing a spot on the open deck to catch the wind and the sun, but the small cabin by the window is a nice escape if it’s chilly.

One of my favorite routes is the ferry ride to La Graciosa. It’s a short trip, but the clear water below and the chance to spot seabirds diving for fish makes it worth it. Try to go in the early morning or late afternoon,the light turns everything golden, and the boat crowds thin out. And don’t forget, if you’re carrying a bike or snorkel gear, some ferries accommodate that, which means you can explore La Graciosa a bit on two wheels or float around in the calas nearby.

Keep an eye on the local weather; the sea here can be a bit choppy in winter. But honestly, there’s something calming about that salty spray hitting your face as Lanzarote slowly drifts by. It’s not just a ride, it’s a way to slow down and see the island’s rugged charm from a different angle.
