TRAVEL INFORMATION
Getting to La Graciosa
La Graciosa is only accessible by boat from the neighbouring
island of Lanzarote. Therefore you need to organize a flight
from your destination to Lanzarote. When you book you flight
please take into consideration the last ferry leaves the port
of Orzola in Lanzarote at 16:00 local time. Therefore you need
to make allowances for possible delays and the transfer time
from the airport to Orzola which is approx. 30 mins. Click

Flights
Whilst we cannot book your flights, our team can offer you a
few tips on how to get here. Departures are from most UK airports.
Times of flights may vary throughout the year. The majority
of flights are on a Thursday, so you'll probably find more choice
on that day.
Prices for flights to Lanzarote vary greatly. The cheapest
we have heard of is £99 return, but there have been
cases of people paying £300 for tickets in the height
of season. Normally you can expect to pay between £120
and £220 for a return ticket. If anyone actually finds
one of the elusive £69 return tickets on the Internet/Teletext,
please let one of the team know!
Direct flights from the UK are not your only option, although
they are usually the cheapest. You can also fly to Lanzarote
via Madrid or Barcelona or even via one of the other Canary
Islands. Check out these options if you are restricted by
the dates you can get away.
Also, British Airways now operates scheduled flights to Lanzarote
on a regular basis.
Travel and Health Insurance
European Union citizens can enter the Canary Islands with just
their passport. No vaccinations are needed. Whilst there are
reciprocal health agreements within the European Union a separate
travel and health insurance should be considered essential.
Please ensure your insurance covers your for dangerous sports
especially surfing. We also recommend you bring a valid E111
which can be picked-up from your local post office.
Boards, Kites, Baggage and Dings
Most airlines will charge either a flat fee (e.g. Board and
Kite £30) or an excess baggage charge per kilo. Normally
you have to pre-book equipment prior to departure. Make sure
you check about bringing equipment when you book your ticket.
Check your travel insurance for equipment cover whilst in transit.
Don't forget to pack a kite and board repair kit. |
