Travel and transport agencies Hierro

El Hierro's main cab rank is easily recognizable: a white house with the Transhierro logo. You can, of course, take a cab there directly. But the island has developed a very interesting system for non-motorized travellers: the taxi-bus combination. You take the main route to the island's three stations, from where cabs can then take you to a specific destination and pick you up. A rather ecological solution for an island that is a Biosphere Reserve and a Geopark.

Only Naviera Armas operates a direct daily route from Los Cristianos, in the south of Tenerife, with a different timetable depending on the day and which lasts an average of almost three hours. The arrival is in Puerto de la Estaca, the port on the island of El Hierro, located 10 kilometres from Valverde and developed since 1960. On board, cafeterias, bars, TV room. Everything for a rather pleasant mini-cruise while observing the coasts and the sea. For the ticket, it is easier to book online and arrive an hour earlier if you have a vehicle.
