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.

    1hr jet ski excursion solo Mark is charismatic and reliable, he answered all questions and even gave substitutes for activities, my first jet ski company was miles away and I couldn’t get there easily but he had another company that would pick up and drop off at my hotel. My mrs didn’t want to go and was worried about me going alone but put her mind at ease when pointing out set the set up eg good quality gear, good guilds and the system they have in place so you are safe as well as having fun. In short I had an amazing time and would definitely do it again, having contact with mark via what’s app with fast replies also helps as it just shows the legitimacy of the excursions.

    Trip to La Palma We took a day trip to La Palma from Tenerife on the Fred Olsen Ferry. We had a wonderful day. The arrangements were seamless. We were picked up at the port in La Palma and travelled on a very comfortable bus around the island. We viewed the devastation caused by the recent volcanic eruption and got a feel for the impact it had on the lives of those who live there. A lovely lunch in a small harbour before returning. We also had the opportunity to spend some time in the very quaint town of La Palma. Our guide Mattie was excellent and switched between Spanish and English with ease. An excellent day but be warned the chopping is often rough so take seasick tablets!
