Prices and what the ticket includes
Both companies publish the same headline fare: €29 adult return and €16 one way; children pay €15 return and €8 one way. Residents of the Canary Islands pay a fraction of that with a certificate. Bags, bikes and sports gear travel free on Biosfera Express, and Líneas Romero includes toilets and Wi-Fi on board. There is no visitor cap or LobosPass-style permit for La Graciosa, so the ticket is the only thing you book.
Through GetYourGuide the same crossings are sold as flexible tickets: you choose the outbound time at checkout and can use any published return with that company on the same day, or the day after. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure applies to both operators' tickets and to the pickup package.
Getting to Órzola, and the pickup alternative
Órzola is the last village in the far north of Lanzarote, below the Famara cliffs. From the resorts count on 45 to 90 minutes by car depending on where you stay, along the LZ-1 past Arrieta. Both operators provide free parking at the harbour for their passengers, which is the main reason to book ahead rather than turn up: the space is allocated to ticket holders.
- Leave the resort early: the 08:00–10:00 sailings give you the full day and the calmest sea.
- Park in your operator's car park and go to that operator's desk, not the first boat marked La Graciosa.
- Show the GetYourGuide voucher for direct boarding (Romero) or exchange it for a boarding pass (Biosfera).
If you would rather not drive, the six-hour ferry with bus pickup collects you from the main resorts, runs the crossing with Líneas Romero and brings you back to the hotel. You trade a fixed timetable for the drive. Rated 4.5/5 from 364 reviews (checked 2 September 2026).
Is a day on La Graciosa worth pairing with Lobos?
The two islands sit at the opposite ends of the same strait, and many visitors based in the north of Fuerteventura or the south of Lanzarote do both. Lobos is a three-hour island with a permit; La Graciosa is a full-day island with unpaved streets, a fishing village, jeep taxis and beaches like Playa de las Conchas on the far side. If you are coming from Fuerteventura, add the Playa Blanca crossing to reach Lanzarote first, then drive north. Wind rules both crossings: read the wind and calima guide before you fix the dates, and pack as you would for Lobos: shade is rarer on La Graciosa.
