La Graciosa Day Trip: Car-Free Island Paradise
How to visit the eighth Canary Island from Lanzarote — ferry, bike rental, empty beaches and practical tips.
7 min read
Getting there from Lanzarote
Ferries from Órzola (northern Lanzarote) reach Caleta de Sebo in 25 minutes. Services run throughout the day. Book a return ferry in advance in peak season and add hotel transfer from your Lanzarote resort for a stress-free day.
Exploring by bike or buggy
La Graciosa has no paved roads — only sand tracks. The only way to explore is by mountain bike or electric buggy, both available for rent in Caleta de Sebo. Ride to Playa de las Conchas for the best beach on the island, almost always empty. Montaña Amarilla offers a short climb with panoramic views.
What to bring & expect
Bring cash — there are no ATMs on La Graciosa. Pack water, sunscreen and a picnic, as restaurant options are limited. The island is quiet, slow and wonderful. A catamaran trip from Lanzarote that includes La Graciosa is a popular alternative covering whale watching too.
