Though it took a little longer but I found ferry as a cheaper way to move from one island to other as when compared with airfares. Islas Airways (tel: 902 47 74 78; www.islasairways.com )and Binter (tel: 902 39 13 92; www.bintercanarias.es), both have regular flights connecting all the seven islands.

Biking was a nice experience for site-seeing, but there were no lanes in the urban areas, but beachside boulevards were definitely better. You will be disappointed in case you expect the drivers to accommodate you, so better to hire one. There are many companies which can provide with ferries and jetfoils, but the best among them are Navieara Armas (tel: 902 45 65 00; www.navieraarmas.com), Trasmediterránea (tel: 902 45 46 45; www.trasmediterranea.com )and Fred Olsen (tel: 901 10 01 07; www.fredolsen.es).

All the islands own an interurban bus service, bus being called a guagua( sounds wa-wa). Gran Canaria and Tenerife display the best transport system but the frequency of the runs per day is not fixed. But the system, in all the islands,is good enough to take you to all the main locations.

I was surprised to find Canary Islands on the list of all the major international car-rental companies. I was happy to book a car, well in advance and was smart enough to carry my driving license as it is a must for all the vehicles, which are over 50 cc. I advise you not to drive if you are not at least 21 and to carry your driving license, passport and the rental agreement, while going for a rental.
