  • "Easy booking"

    Had problems trying to book using Olsens website and also when I called their offices direct. It was so much easier and better when I called Direct Ferries, they made the whole booking process very simple and understandable. Thanks for a great service.

  • "Excellent help for Disabled"

    We experienced a trouble free crossing in both directions in comfortable conditions. The help of the crew on the return journey was exceptional taking care of my husband who had broken his leg and had to come on board on a wheel chair. Excellent care and attention.

  • "ALL OK"

    PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR, WE COULD NOT RENT ONE IN GRAN CANARIA, AND WE COULD NOT TRANFER TO ANOTHER ISLAND (TENERIFE) we discovered that the company offer the service from they office at the port. Thank. PS. It was a bit expansive for only an 1 crossing. We did not use restaurants and bar, but all looked well organised.

  • "My First Ferry Ride"

    This was my first ever ferry ride and I was fairly excited. I printed the tickets and directions to the port from Direct Ferry and on the day used google maps but it seemed the address was too vague and I couldn't get to the right port in Santa Cruz, I had to get another taxi to get me to right port and almost missed the ferry. The journey was comfortable though the interior was a bit sloppy and we got to Agaete 30 minutes late. Ferry service 3 star direct ferry - 4 star

  • "Perfect"

    We really liked the boat and the trip also. We're not young, I really felt good on the helpfulness of staff. Would highlight the service from Las Palmas to Agaete free bus took us to the boarding place. It is a pity that those who are not familiar with the local conditions, not to call the attention of: do no need to bring up the heavy packages in the passenger compartment can be placed in a locked compartment when boarding, which can be removed immediately, as he gets out of the way. But the staff also helped in the carry too. We can only recommend everyone who requires a comfortable, reliable, fast connections between the islands. Thank you.
