Tangier day trip from Tarifa
The simplest Tangier day trip: a fast ferry of about an hour from Tarifa straight into the port in the centre of Tangier.
Step by step
From Tarifa to the medina and back
- 1
Fast ferries sail from the Tarifa terminal to Tangier Ville, the port in the city centre, in about one hour. Several sailings a day in season; timetables change, so we check them with you when you book.
- 2
Tickets are bought from the ferry company. We help you choose the sailings and buy the tickets if you wish, and we tell you what to show at check-in.
- 3
Your guide waits for you at the exit of the port. The medina starts a few minutes’ walk away, so the tour begins the moment you arrive.
- 4
At the end of the day we walk you back to the terminal for your return sailing.
Tarifa is where most of our day-trip guests cross from. The port-to-port timing leaves a full day for the medina, the coast and lunch.

Questions about the day trip from Tarifa
Is the ferry ticket included in the tour?
The ferry ticket is bought separately from the ferry company; we help you choose sailings and purchase it if you wish. Your quote states exactly what the tour itself includes.
Where do we meet in Tangier?
At the exit of the Tangier Ville port, where the Tarifa ferry docks. Your guide will be waiting with your name; the medina is a short walk away.
How much time do we have in Tangier?
It depends on the sailings you choose: with a morning crossing and an early-evening return, count six to eight hours on land. Tell us your times and we shape the day around them.
Can we do Chefchaouen from Tarifa in one day?
Not comfortably: Chefchaouen is a full day from Tangier on its own. From Tarifa we recommend the city, Cap Spartel and the Caves of Hercules, or an overnight in Tangier if you want the blue town.
