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.

    I contacted Tenerife First Excursions via watsapp and got a response very quickly from Sue ! I was sent a list of prices for karting and was offered to be picked up . As soon as I made the payment the invoice was sent immediately . Once we arrived at the venue my son was able to go straight on the karts and it's all very well arranged ! I'm really happy with the service I received and will definitely use the company again . Thank you !

    Hele leuke ervaring. 8 walvissen gezien! Patrick heeft ons super goed geholpen. Hij was erg enthousiast en heeft ons veel verteld over tenerife en de dieren in de zee. We hebben prachtige walvissen gespot en hij maakte leuke grapjes! Zeker aan te raden. Wij gingen rond 16.00 en we hebben wel 8 walvissen gezien die de kapitein de rest van de dag nog niet gezien had!

    Super quick and easy service Our hotel couldn’t book us the water sports package we wanted, so we walked down the seafront to find a shop to book with. Came across these guys and Mattie had it booked for us within a couple of minutes and gave us loads of tips and info about the island. Really quick and made it so easy for us, would recommend to anyone visiting!

    We booked a Boom Trike trip with Tenerife First Excursions in November 2021. Boom Trikes took us on a coastal run to Los Gigantes and inland into the mountains where we had wonderful views towards la Gomera and across to Tiede. We went to places we wouldn’t normally go made even better on the Boom trike bike. Would recommend this trip for the views and excitement of the bike. Take a jacket though! We booked through Kim at Tenerife First Excursions who arranged pick up from our Appartments. Kim was so helpful and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. Many thanks Kim. 👍👍
