Where does the ferry arrive in Tenerife?

Ferries from both ports in Gran Canaria arrive at the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, located on the northeastern part of the island.

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, so if you don’t have a vehicle, you can take a bus or a taxi to reach the south of the island, where many of the main resorts are located.
