Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're able-bodied, don't even think of paying for a ship's shuttle.

I would 100% recommend it. The town is pulsating.

Our recommendation, you pretty much need to book an excursion before you get on board.

This Fua Ventura. I think there's no denying that this one is a boring stop.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't pay for ship's shuttles if you're able-bodied.
Walk to town centers directly from docks when possible.
Consider booking a half-day tour for La Palma to explore beyond the main street.
Book an excursion for Fuerta Ventura as it's a boring stop on its own.

Important Guide to how to tackle cruiise ports in the Canary Islands. Where they dock, how to get to town, whether you should buy the Ship's TOURS, and how to get the best out of your trip. We tell you what to expect, disemabarkion routes, how to get to the centre, and what you find in each destination. Additionally, ships tours are expensive in the Canary Islands. Can you do the cruise ports of call better yourself? We test out a theory: don't buy the excursions from the ship, instead craft out your own tours and schedule. Does it work? Let's see #cruise #canaryislands #ports As each port we were stopping at is small, and compact, we thought it a good candidate to try this strategy, as they would be easily walkable, no tenders and you can amble right into town. We went to Tenerife, La Palma, and Fuertaventura Cruising is catching on fast... but is this the right ship, and right cruise line? Is P&O any good. Is cheap the way to go, or will you regret it?
