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.

    Booked a few excursions. But had an issue with one that didn’t quite give us the experience we were sold. How ever went back to the guys at First Excursions and they couldn’t have been more professional and helpful. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough. Wouldn’t book an excursion anywhere else. Top quality service!

    Intimate boat for a family-friendly outing The cruise is on a small, intimate boat so we got up close and personal with the many dolphins that we saw. Once we found a huge pod of dolphins, the captain stopped the boat and we were able to just hang out for awhile as the dolphins frolicked around us. My family and I couldn’t wipe the smiles from our faces if we tried! We also caught sight of a couple of whales which was just such a bonus. The cruise includes a sandwich but this isn’t really needed. I think a small offering of nuts/meats/cheeses would have been fine or even no food at all.

    My girlfriend and I were wondering from Las Américas to Adeje and were flagged down by Kim Lory at the ticket stand asking what we have planned for our week. She was so friendly and helpful, we ended up buying tickets to Siam Park and a Buggie trip to Mount Teide and we enjoyed both immensely, it really made our time away a time to remember. Hats off to Kim, she sorted us right out, guided us with our best interests at heart and is a credit to the company. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

    Fabulous We had the best afternoon after Ross in the Los Cristianos branch persuaded us to take the 3 hour all inclusive yacht charter to see the whales and dolphins. The skipper was really informative and friendly and made the whole afternoon a great experience! We saw some pilot whales really close to us in the water which was a great bonus! Thanks Ross for recommending this it was well worth it!
