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.

    Best boat experience in Tenerife The boat excursion was amazing and the boat itself is very luxurious. The host for the tour is fantastic and very flamboyant which makes the experience even better and a great laugh. He goes above and beyond to make a the best experience and points out every opportunity to spot dolphins and whales which we did (which isn’t guaranteed). We stopped off at La Caleta for a decent time to jump in the sea, cool down and go snorkelling. The food during this stop is great and drinks are provided throughout the excursion. Will definitely be doing this again!

    My girlfriend and I were wondering from Las Américas to Adeje and were flagged down by Kim Lory at the ticket stand asking what we have planned for our week. She was so friendly and helpful, we ended up buying tickets to Siam Park and a Buggie trip to Mount Teide and we enjoyed both immensely, it really made our time away a time to remember. Hats off to Kim, she sorted us right out, guided us with our best interests at heart and is a credit to the company. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

    Water fun galore! What an incredible experience from start to finish! We dealt with the lovely Laura who couldn’t have been more friendly and knowledgable on what we could do as a family during our time in Tenerife. Our younger boys loved the jet skis, adrenaline-fueled fun was had all around! We also booked Siam Park and a whale watching trip through Tenerife First Excursions. We come every year and now know who we can rely on for great service and the best excursions! Great company, and Laura is an incredible asset!

    Super quick and easy service Our hotel couldn’t book us the water sports package we wanted, so we walked down the seafront to find a shop to book with. Came across these guys and Mattie had it booked for us within a couple of minutes and gave us loads of tips and info about the island. Really quick and made it so easy for us, would recommend to anyone visiting!

    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!!
