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.

    Agradable experiencia. Buena experiencia. Tres horas de buen rollo y rato muy agradable. Gui agrada durante la ruta y explica muchas cosas, la mayoría interesantes. El único pero, vimos pocos animales y ,aunque la idea de nuestro guía fue que no era lo principal de la excursión, nos apetecía un montón. Lo mejor, al ser un barco pequeño, que solo podíamos ir cinco personas y fue una ruta que se convirtió en privada y fue un verdadero gustazo.

    Absolutely amazing Staff It's was absolutely amazing. The boat hat around 12 people on we first we Set off from the docks where we met our host, Fabrizio he was amazing explaining everything to us in detail we were lucky to see some dolphins and by the end of the trip you get a meal that mostly concludes of amazingly seasoned chicken thigh, Veggie rice and Roat potato. After that me and my brothers got out the boat and went for a small swim (recommend wearing shorts/swimming costume under your clothes) Life Jackets are provided for the little ones. All and all an amazing experience, my first time on a boat and definitely not my last !
