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.

    Guter Quadeinsteigerkurs Alles ingesamt erfreulich. Wer noch keine Erfahrungen mit Quads hat, kann sich auf ein gutes Training freuen. Die Quads lassen sich leucht fahren, da sie automatisch schalten .. also einfach fahren. Dennoch unterschätzt die Sache nicht .. vorsichtig fahren .. 2 drei Stellen waren nicht ganz einfach für Anfänger. Lasst Euch nicht von Touristen ärgern, die behaupten, dass die Bikes Mist wären. Kleinere Benzinmotoren können schnell mal absaufen oder andres .. Wenns garnicht geht findet ihr mit den freundlichen Team sicher eine Lösung, dass ihr an einem andren Tag noch mal fahren dürf. Die Leute sind nett und bemüht. Mit nur meckern, wurde noch nie was erreicht.

    We did the sunset quad bikes last night, what an experience. It was so exhilarating to self drive the quad bikes up the mountain. It really immersed you into the environment. The guys running it were great, really looked after everyone and put safety first. It’s the third excursion we’ve booked with first excursions ( via Kim) and they have been brilliant, we always feel safe and secure booking with them. We met Daniel and he was a great guy, clearly cares about his company and customers. Cannot recommend this company enough, Kim you are a star 🌟! Thank you so much again for another excellent experience!

    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!!

    My girlfriend and I found out about Tenerife First Excursions through tiktok, we walked to the office from Veronica’s and it took 10 minutes.When we got there, the staff were friendly and inviting. The staff are English so there is no language barrier. They ensure when booking you on excursions they are legit and good quality.We were served by Mattie and he was very friendly and eager to help us. He was not pushy and let us take our time to decide, the way he spoke to us and told us straight up about everything was the selling factor for us. We booked JetSkis and a night time quad bike tour, because of purchasing over a certain amount we got free Monkey Park tickets also! Great work to Mattie and the team! We will definitely come back.
