Ferry to Arrecife or Playa Blanca

You can take the ferry from Cádiz or Huelva (Andalucía, South Spain) or from one of the neighbouring Canary Islands.

The trip from mainland Spain takes around 1.5 days, offered only on certain days. The trip from Fuerteventura takes only 25 minutes and runs hourly.

Travel Insurance

In addition to the medical insurance included in the surf lessons, we highly recommend that you arrange travel insurance in case of any cancellations.

In life, the unexpected can happen. If you suddenly cannot come, or cannot use any paid-for services, travel insurance will cover your expenses and save you a headache.
