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.

    Freedom in the sea Abbiamo affittato una barca self drive (senza aver bisogno di patente) con Patricia ed è stata una esperienza fantastica!! La barca è nuova e comoda, siamo stati prima a largo a rilassarci con buona musica e qualche drink e poi ci siamo spostati a la caleta dove abbiamo messo ancora e ci siamo fatti il bagno. Un’esperienza unica sicuramente da provare , grazie Patricia!!!

    Breathtaking views and overall brilliant experience! The sunset quad tour was by far our favourite thing we did when we were in Tenerife, we booked a double quad - my partner drove and I was the passenger. My partner thoughroughly enjoyed his experience driving the quad and would recommend to other drivers! We decided to do this on our last night in Tenerife and the views throughout blew us away - it was the perfect way to end our holiday!The views are breathtaking and the sunset was beautiful. The guys who run the quad tour are fantastic, they are friendly, funny and all round decent guys! They only add to the experience and make you feel very comfortable. We loved the information they shared with us about mount teide and it's history and the photos that were taken were phenomenal and at only 20 euros for the entire lot how can you complain? Such a bargain! We have already recommended this tour to our family member who is visiting Tenerife in the coming weeks and they cannot wait to book this with them!You also get water and snacks included - I must say the biscuits are very good and when you watch the sunset go down you get complimentary alcohol free champagne , it was such a nice touch!The company also collects you from your hotel or nearby your hotel and drop you off afterwards, it's an all-round very good service and they make you feel safe and secure! I'd also like to say thank you to Lisa at Tenerife First Excursions for sorting this short notice for us! She was very helpful, friendly and kind when we booked with her! Overall, this is a great company to book with and we can't wait to return and try some other excursions.

    1st Class Service We stayed in Los Cristianos in march, we came across Tenerife Frist and booked 2 excursions with Mark he couldn't of been more helpful for us. We went on half a day trip around Mount Teide & Freebird boat trip. Both trips where amazing, we were lucky enough to have the pick up outside our hotel. Coaches on time and Clean. We will be going back to Mark to book again if we head back to Los Cristianos. Thanks for helping us :)

    I contacted Daniel on whatsapp and explained what excursions we were interested in and he asked us to come to the shop to have a look at all the options.From the minute my boyfriend and I arrived at the shop, he welcomed us with a massive smile and was so welcoming.Showed us so many videos and pictures and gave us tips on what suited our taste best.. We booked 4 packages that day ( 3 hour road quad bike, 1 hour jetski, day yacht tour and parascending).On the last day, I realised that parascending might be a bit too extreme for me, so we texted Daniel and explained our situation and in no time he came with a solution in minutes.Just an FYI. all tours take professional pictures of you for around 20 euros, so just enjoy yourself and forget your phone, as they will capture all the best moments for you. all you have to do is smile and enjoy.We honestly can't thank you enough Daniel, for the amazing experiences and memories you have brought to us trough your amazing exursions.You have a customer for life and we hope to see you again in the near future.Lots of loveSamuel & Steph

    Dan, Kim, Matt & all the gang at Tenerife First Excursions are all absolute heroes. I’ve been visiting Tenerife for many years & used many excursion suppliers but these guys are by far the very best.Customer service - including before & after your excursion - is off the charts & 2nd to none. Honest, reliable & professional. One of the only companies I deal with who treat me as not just a customer, but also a good friend.Very highly recommended. Thanks guys!
