Popularly known as the water taxi, this service links the towns of Puerto Calero and Puerto del Carmen by sea. During the scenic 20-minute mini cruise, you'll be able to take in the views of volcanic cliffs and a ravine created by ancient lava flows. There's a bar service on board, too, so you can relax while you sail.

Given the wrong times for the departures and arrivals of the water taxi for our return

Great experience. You can just turn up. Could have done with a little more direction where to board but that’s only if we’re trying to find fault.

Water taxi good but not a lot to do in Puerto calero

Le personnel du bateau était très sympathique, gentil et très serviable avec les enfants. Bons cocktails à bord et temps libre de qualité à Puerto Calero où se conjuguent découvertes et shoppings.
