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.

    Fun family day out on a catamaran Boat was huge and plenty of space to move around . Staff are so considerate and try to find Dolphins via radar and calling all other boats . They make sure you really do get to see a pod of dolphins or whales !

    I had a brilliant week in Tenerife - huge thanks to Mark in Los Cristianos (and Dominika and Dan!) who helped me organise my excursions. Mark was on call to advise and swap things around when needed. I went on boat trips seeing whales, dolphins and a turtle, I visited stunning La Gomera, took a cable car up Mount Teide, and paraglided high above the coast - I had the time of my life! Highly recommended!

    Perfect end to our holiday Amazing boat trip, so worth the money! We saw plenty of whales, dolphins and even turtles. Our lovely boat driver knew exactly where to look and seemed just as excited as us himself. We even got to go for a swim in a shallower part of the sea. Was a really lovely relaxed trip with a plentiful supply of soft drinks and beers. Unfortunately the vegan option was just a box of (very very) plain salad. But that wasn’t a big part of the trip so just make sure you don’t get on the boat starving if you’re vegan!

    Fantastic Customer Service! We came across an issue whilst on the island (which wasn’t the fault of the business or owner). The owner reached out and was not only professional but very welcoming. He was able to put us at ease and ensure that our remaining time on the island was enjoyed. My family and I can’t thank him enough for his kindness and we look forward to booking lots of excursions when we return to the island. Keep up the FAB work Daniel and the team!!
