La Gomera Island Tour from Tenerife

Discover the stunning island of La Gomera on this unforgettable full-day tour from Tenerife, featuring breathtaking landscapes, Garajonay National Park, traditional Canarian villages, local cuisine and return ferry travel with Fred. Olsen Express included.

Description

Discover the breathtaking beauty, culture and history of La Gomera on this unforgettable full-day excursion from Tenerife. Your adventure begins with pick-up from your selected meeting point before travelling to the Port of Los Cristianos, where you will board the comfortable Fred. Olsen Express ferry bound for San Sebastián de La Gomera, the island’s charming capital.

After arriving on the island, the tour continues along the scenic southern route with a stop at the impressive Roque de Agando, one of La Gomera’s most iconic volcanic rock formations. Rising dramatically from the landscape, this natural monument offers spectacular views and a fascinating glimpse into the island’s volcanic origins.

The journey then heads into the heart of Garajonay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its ancient laurel forests. Enjoy a peaceful walk surrounded by lush greenery and unique flora that dates back millions of years. This magical forest is one of the best-preserved examples of subtropical laurel forest in the world and offers a truly unforgettable connection with nature.

At lunchtime, you will visit the welcoming Las Rosas Restaurant, where you can enjoy a traditional Gomero lunch included in the price. Experience authentic island cuisine in a warm and family-friendly atmosphere.

After lunch, discover the fascinating tradition of the Silbo Gomero, the island’s unique whistled language recognised by UNESCO. Used for centuries by locals to communicate across deep valleys, it remains one of La Gomera’s most treasured cultural traditions.

The tour continues through picturesque villages including Hermigua, known for its beautiful valley landscapes, banana plantations and vineyards, before reaching the stunning coastal village of Agulo. Often referred to as “the bonbon of La Gomera,” Agulo is famous for its cobbled streets, traditional Canarian houses and spectacular ocean views with Mount Teide visible in the distance.

Later, you will return to San Sebastián de La Gomera, a historic town closely linked to Christopher Columbus and his voyages to the New World. Explore its charming streets and discover historic landmarks such as the Torre del Conde, the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and Casa de la Aguada.

At the end of the day, you will board the ferry back to Tenerife and head back to your original pick-up point. During the crossing, keep an eye on the ocean as with a little luck, you may spot dolphins or pilot whales in the waters between the islands.

    The highlight of our holiday Absolutely amazing experience! We stumbled upon one of the Tenerife First Excursions sales booth on our way back to the hotel one evening, a bit drunk and up for some adventure. We were greeted by the wonderful Lisa Fay and she recommended the Opera 60 experience. Due to before said drunkenness we did not make the booking at that point but she gave us a direct contact number. Few days later I called her and she immediately made all the arrangements for us and was so helpful! The cruise was amazing, lovely staff, nice food and drinks and just an overall brilliant experience. Great value for money, easy to recommend! :)

    Nice, relaxing boat trip Tour was great! Saw dolphins, a sea turtle, and some pilot whales. Also the area for snorkeling was quite nice, not too much to see but still some nice groups of fish.

    A company that actual cares you have a good time. Rented a car, book the Stargazing and Kayaking to see the dolphins from Daniel. All went smoothly. Two amazing experiences that will last long in the memory. I'll be booking again with Tenerife First.

    Wonderful time Mattie was amazing he managed to fit me and my wife in a day before, kept us up to date when the booking had to be cancelled due to bad weather conditions and slot us in again the next day. On the day of the quad bikes the staff there were very nice and spoke English which helped! The excursions itself was a very good experience and very informative. We really enjoyed the off road part of it. Also got mini pizzas at the end of it which was really nice. Thank you to everyone at Tenerife First Excursions!!

    Merece la pena Magnífica travesía. Vimos delfines y calderones aunque lo que te tiene que gustar es navegar ya que tres horas dan para mucho. Nos bañamos y el patrón fue muy agradable. 100 % recomendable. Relacion calidad precio buenísima. Volveremos
