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.

    Great half day, bring layers! It was an enjoyable half day excursion, with lovely scenery, very good driver and guide and a good amount of stops along the way. I knew the weather was going to be rainy so opted for an excursion instead of the beach/hotel pool and glad that I did this one. The weather is several degrees colder in the mountains so good idea to bring layers! Four stars as the pick up was late by 10 minutes but that was likely due to the rain causing road traffic.

    Good experience and value for money We went to the office in Tenerife and Laura showed us different experiences that Tenerife First Excursion offered. She helped me pick experiences that were age appropriate for my daughter and we got really good prices! Laura was professional and had great knowledge of what she could offer. We visit Tenerife once a year and we will always go back to Laura.

    Absolutely amazing!! We couldn’t be more grateful for the service we received from Kim! I first saw Tenerife’s first excursions advertised on TikTok, we took a trip down there to get some help on booking a few things to do on our holiday! It’s mine and my partners first holiday together, and my first holiday since being a child, it’s the first time we’ve not had our parents to sort these sort of things for us! We booked loads of different trips! 3h Dolphin and whale watching boat, a try dive which me and my partner were both a little skeptical and worried about but Kim helped us so much and reassured us and even checked in afterwards to see how we found it! We also booked Loro parque and Siam park and buggy’s! Kim has been absolutely amazing and so friendly I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much again for all your help we really appreciate it! 10/10 service and friendliness

    I booked a kayaking and snorkelling trip with Mattie for myself and my stepson but the morning of the trip we all came down with covid!
    With such short notice I wasn’t expecting a refund but informed them anyway. The company agreed a full refund and the money was transferred to my bank within days. Service over and above I would say!
    We have booked another holiday in September and will certainly re- book our kayaking trip!

    The best customer service A massive thank you to Daniel at the Las Americas shop for his helping booking and sorting out our trips on our holiday. We booked 3 trips with him , on the day of our dolphin and whale watching tour my daughter was unwell and at 8am Daniel was helping me to get the date changed so we didn’t miss it. 10/10 customer service from him. Thanks again , would recommend to anyone on holiday in Tenerife and I personally can’t wait to use Tenerife First Excursions again.
