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.

    Best boat experience in Tenerife The boat excursion was amazing and the boat itself is very luxurious. The host for the tour is fantastic and very flamboyant which makes the experience even better and a great laugh. He goes above and beyond to make a the best experience and points out every opportunity to spot dolphins and whales which we did (which isn’t guaranteed). We stopped off at La Caleta for a decent time to jump in the sea, cool down and go snorkelling. The food during this stop is great and drinks are provided throughout the excursion. Will definitely be doing this again!

    “We’ve absolutely loved it” We booked around 4 excursions through Tenerife first. They was super quick at replying via their WhatsApp and every single excursion went off without a hitch. All times, locations, QR Codes, Bus rides it was all sorted through Tenerife first. The process has been very straight forward and hassle free and when you’re on holiday that’s exactly what you want. We also did a Stargazing small group excursion which was lead by Ben Simington. We done all the main attractions in Tenerife and can honestly say this was the highlight of our Holiday. Ben ensured we was catered for with dietary requirements and his knowledge on astronomy and Tenerife in general is second to none, a fantastic evening/night we even got to see Saturn with its Ring! We also done a dolphin and whale boat trip with Danny, again very informative on the ocean and was a brilliant skipper. We wholeheartedly recommend both Tenerife First, Ben and Danny to anyone who heads to Tenerife and we will for sure be using again in the future! Thank you Tenerife First for adding to our holiday experience! “we’ve absolutely loved it!” ♥️

    The best place and people to book with! We booked the sunset quad tour, dolphin and whale boat tour and then Siam park all inclusive. To say this was the best trip of my life was an understatement. Big thank you to Dan for his help with all the booking and giving us the best deals, advice and his genuine interest in providing the best service he could. Siam park was unbelievable and cannot recommended the all inclusive pass enough. The food, drink, lockers and unlimited fast pass for the slides was the handiest thing ever and ensured we got all the slides we wanted done multiple times. The quad tour was out of this world. Thank you to Lee and Emily both of you made the tour that much better. Emily collected us from the hotel and drove us to the quads, we were then suited up and began the tour. Emily was the photographer and was top class. Lee is just a legend. Both of you adore your jobs and it’s clear to see. Lee had the timing down to a tee for the sunset etc. We had drinks, hot chocolate and local biscuits as the sun went down. When we returned we were given the option to purchase the pictures for 20€ there was a total of 670 pictures taken for the group so it was the easiest yes. Emily then brought us back to our hotel which was included in the package. Lastly we went on the 3 hour boat tour. We booked a catamaran. This was another unreal trip where we saw sea turtles and pilot whales with a swim stop by a cove, food and drinks included also. The staff were brilliant and very friendly. Thanks to everyone involved for making this trip so special and enjoyable. Worth every penny. If you want to do anything in Tenerife book with Tenerife first excursions!!

    Come over from North East England to Tenerife a few times a year and a few weeks over Xmas. Always book tickets through Tenerife First Excursions. Saw Kim last time in Adeje. Always book a few things. Boat trips, quads and Siam Park. Top class service and very friendly. Wouldn’t book anywhere else. Always stay different places so happy they have shops all over now. Can’t wait for next visit to book usual trips and something new! Thank you x
