and adjoining secondary roads. For
travellers who have not arranged
a transfer through Zoco, you can either rent a car at Airport or
get a taxi to your accommodation.
There is also a daily bus service from
the airport.
SURF CAMP OR SURFARI CLIENTS
As part of your 'Gran Canaria Surf Experience' Ground transportation is provided from Las Palmas airport to your accommodation in Maspalomas or Bahía Feliz. However, if you miss the transportation that is provided for you for any reason including flight delays, earlier or later departure, etc. ground transportation via bus or taxi will be at your own expense.
GETTING AROUND
Car hire is essential if you want to see the island. A rental car (Opel Corsa 2005) will cost you around 133€ (euros) per week and fuel costs around 90c per litre. The price includes: Full mileage, full insurance and airport delivery.
GREENSEAT - CARBON NEUTRAL* FLIGHTS
Zoco supports the efforts made by GreenSeat, and ask you to do the same. We realize that surfers, windsurfers and kitesurfers all do far more travelling by air than your average person. The surf trip is an integral part of the boardriding lifestyle and this is why we encourage you to compensate for the emissions related to your flight by making yours a GreenSeat.
*Carbon neutral means that, for each flight, enough trees are planted to ensure that the net effect on the atmosphere is zero, or as close to it as possible.

VISAS, Travel and Health Insurance
European Union citizens can enter the Canary Islands with just their passport. No vaccinations are needed. Whilst there are reciprocal health agreements within the European Union a separate travel and health insurance should be considered essential. Please ensure your insurance covers your for dangerous sports especially surfing. We also recommend you bring a valid EHIC card.
