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.

    “We’ve absolutely loved it” We booked around 4 excursions through Tenerife first. They was super quick at replying via their WhatsApp and every single excursion went off without a hitch. All times, locations, QR Codes, Bus rides it was all sorted through Tenerife first. The process has been very straight forward and hassle free and when you’re on holiday that’s exactly what you want. We also did a Stargazing small group excursion which was lead by Ben Simington. We done all the main attractions in Tenerife and can honestly say this was the highlight of our Holiday. Ben ensured we was catered for with dietary requirements and his knowledge on astronomy and Tenerife in general is second to none, a fantastic evening/night we even got to see Saturn with its Ring! We also done a dolphin and whale boat trip with Danny, again very informative on the ocean and was a brilliant skipper. We wholeheartedly recommend both Tenerife First, Ben and Danny to anyone who heads to Tenerife and we will for sure be using again in the future! Thank you Tenerife First for adding to our holiday experience! “we’ve absolutely loved it!” ♥️

    Holiday trips Booked a catamaran trip and the sunset stargazing tour with mark,pickup from hotel for stargazing and a short walk to pickup point for the catamaran,boat ride went great drinks and lunch included,stopped to admire some pilot whales,great trip and experience,sadly the stargazing was called off due to cloud cover(apparently very uncommon,only 10 or so times a year it happens)it’s agreed that if this does happen you get half your money back and a money off voucher if you can’t rejoin it on another day.had to go back and spoke with Patricia,once we sorted out the booking day and found receipts Patricia sorted out the refund(voucher gets emailed)very promptly,all round a great experience and wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again when I hopefully get to return to Tenerife.

    Awesome, WOW!! I booked through Sarah at the Los Christianos branch, she made the whole process of choosing which activities I wanted to do and then the actual booking so easy, this is my 3rd time of booking through this branch and I won't go through anyone else when I visit Tenerife now. They are always most helpful, friendly, and non-pushy for a sale company i have used. I've done the dolphins and whale watching before and this trip the Mustang tiede tour and 1000M paragliding experience and I want to do both again I loved it so much!! Just WOW! Thank you Sarah!

    Dan and his co worker where very helpful, sorted us out 2 excursions with short notice for us to do the buggy experience and the freebird dolphin spotting today, which was very good, would definitely recommend both experiences and would recommend these 2 Irishmen which where very funny and they even sent me a courtesy message afterwords to see how the experience was which was very nice of them, true professionals

    Good few hours out Wasn’t what I expected for the price as I’ve paid less and got more value for money but the driver (captain?) not sure what you call them lol, was very nice. The drinks were cheap sodas, didn’t eat the sandwich. We did spot 2 dolphins on the way back, and saw a few turtles. The stop off to jump in the sea was fun and a good snorkelling opportunity. The sun spot on front was lovely. It was very clean and overall a great experience I think the only let down was the food and drink but I suppose it wasn’t a long enough trip to expect more. Would definitely recommend for couples

    Really helpful Many hanks to Sarah who helped us with this trip. We needed a calm boat due to recent surgery so she suggested the catamaran. We plumped for the 4.5hr trip and were not disappointed. She also told us how to get there and back and where to get taxis and buses from as we were too late for their transport, but it wasn’t a problem. The trip itself was great. Beautiful scenery, pilot whales, dolphins and flying fish and a chance to swim in the sea.
