1. How to get to La Graciosa with a ferry
If you want to visit this island on your own, you must take the ferry to La Graciosa.
The ferry from Lanzarote to La Graciosa departs from Port of Órzola and arrives at Caleta de Sebo, in La Graciosa. The Port of Órzola is located in the town of the same name, in the extreme north of Lanzarote.
There are two boat companies that offer the ferry route from Lanzarote to La Graciosa Island: Lineas Romero and Biosfera Express.
When you buy a ferry ticket to La Graciosa from either company, they usually sell you the outward journey and the return journey. The return schedule is flexible, which means that you can return from La Graciosa any time you want. Even on another day.
🛏️ You haven’t booked your hotel in Lanzarote yet? I recommend you the place we stayed at: Conylanza Golf and Mar Suites, an apartment located in a very quiet neighborhood in Costa Teguise. The place was spacious, clean and had a shared garden with a pool. We loved it! Find out other areas to stay in Lanzarote.
How much is the ferry to La Graciosa
Boat price Lanzarote – La Graciosa Island: One-way ticket costs €14. The roundtrip ticket costs €26.

Places to visit in La Graciosa

If you are not going to spend the night on the island, I recommend visiting it with a 4×4 to give you time to see more places. If you are going to spend at least 2 days on the island, you can easily explore it by bike. The distances between places are not very long.
Here are some of the best places to visit in La Graciosa Island:
- Playa Francesa.
- Playa de la Cocina.
- Montaña amarilla.
- Caleta del Sebo.
- Las Conchas Beach
- Bermeja Mountain.
If you decide to spend at least one night on the island, I recommend looking for hotels in La Graciosa well in advance. We stayed at the Enriqueta pension.
🏥 Remember it is very important to purchase travel insurance for Spain if you don’t have medical coverage in this country. I always use and recommend the company Heymondo, where I can offer you a 5% discount on your travel insurance.
2. Organized day trip to La Graciosa from Lanzarote
Another way to visit La Graciosa (Canary Islands) is by hiring an organized tour. It is a good option if you do not feel like organizing the day on the island on your own.
If you are interested in booking a tour, I recommend taking a look at this organized trip to La Graciosa Island.
They will pick you up at your hotel in Lanzarote to take you to the port of Órzola. Then you will take the ferry to La Graciosa. Once there, you will take a walk through Caleta de Sebo, capital of La Graciosa. By the way, did you know that La Graciosa only has around 700 inhabitants? Then you will board a catamaran sailboat to tour the south coast of the island. All this after enjoying a welcome mojito.
You will have the opportunity to get off the boat at Playa Francesa, where you will have free time to sunbathe, snorkel, ride a kayak or simply cool off. Then comes the food: paella and fresh fruit! You will also have at your disposal all the beers, sangrias, water and soft drinks that you want.
In the afternoon, you will return to Caleta de Sebo on the catamaran to catch the ferry back to Órzola (Lanzarote). You will then return to your hotel.
