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.

    Brilliant service and great prices We heard about this place through TikTok and wanted to check it out, needless to say it is definitely worth the good reviews. Coming as a couple abroad for the first time, Kim was amazing at talking us through the activities we wanted to book and she was so detailed throughout the service. Such a wonderful lady, will be returning in the future! Thank you Kim ❤️

    Better than expected So the weather, which of course can't be controlled, had been awful. It was very windy and cold the few days before our trip. The conditions were that bad, we thought the trip was going to be cancelled. Luckily our day dawned sunny with only a light breeze. The sea had a 2 to 3 foot swell but the catamaran handled it well and for the most part, the journey was smooth enough to stand up and move around. The boat was full, I assumed previous trips had been rescheduled. We weren't interested in the sunbeds, it was going to be too cold but had it been warmer we might have considered paying the 30 or so Euros they were asking for. We sat along the side of the boat but there were also seats inside and on an upper deck. The crew were very helpful and the information given out about the trip was very informative. It was given out in all the languages of the passengers on board. We saw Pilot Whales and 2 types of Dolphin. It got a bit rougher when the boat slowed so we could watch them. Soft drinks and some alcoholic drinks were included in the tour price but the ice creams (Cornetto's) were 3 Euros. The lunch was a rice dish, we didn't fancy that because badly stored rice rice is a major source of food poisoning. The bread rolls and bananas were good though. Overall we enjoyed our trip

    Whale and Dolphin trip We went on this excursion as it was our wedding anniversary. We were greeted by Patrick who directed us to the boat. Our skipper was very informative and we saw quite a few pilot whales, dolphins were swimming alongside the boat, we even saw a turtle! The sandwiches and drinks were lovely. We can thoroughly recommend this trip.

    Car hire Lindsay was amazing when it came to finding us the perfect car for hire! We was a little apprehensive with it being our first time driving abroad and not knowing where to start but Lindsay secured us a fab deal! Original pricing was a little outside our budget range on site but Lindsay kindly enquired with several companies to get us the best deal, they even dropped the car off and will pick it up once finished. Again, Lindsay checked in with us following pick up to make sure everything was OK and gave us a few driving tips! Thanks again, will most certainly rent again on our next trip x
