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.

    Fantastic After watching Daniel on YouTube we decided that we would book through Tenerife First Excursions and the service and communication was excellent. The tour itself was amazing and the guys really looked after us and were extremely knowledgable about the stars and planets. The photos are included on this trip and there were plenty of wow moments. This is a fantastic trip and we will definitely look at booking another trip through Tenerife First Excursions next time we visit Tenerife.

    Brilliant Firstly a huge thank you to Lisa for sorting.Would highly recommend going on the Buggy Safari, the views driving to Teide was breath taking. My husband loved the off roading along the way. Finished off with a lovely tapas and wine tasting.

    Amazing We booked 4 trips with Lisa Fay and she was so helpful! We booked the 3 hour buggy ride up the volcano with tapas and wine tasting. We booked Loro park and Siam park and we also booked the 3 hour Catamaran trip. Lisa was so helpful and informative about all of the trips we had to offer and she also allowed us time to think about what we wanted to do, she gave us leaflets to have a look at so that we could go back the next day and book all of the trips with her. All 4 of the trips were incredible and stress free after booking with Tenerife first excursions. Thankyou very much Lisa.

    Brilliant staff customer interaction and support I would absolutely recommend. The boat had about a dozen people on board, felt roomy and there was loads of room to move about. Fabrizio who led to the trip was the perfect host. He was interesting explained things well. His customer care was another level. Looking after our needs and also being super supportive, helping one of my 4 boys through sea sickness, supporting getting him swimming, praised the lad when he went swimming, and ultimately cured his sea sickness. If I come back to Tenerife, I'll book this trip again I highly recommend you do the same.

    Amazing Met Dan, and he set us up perfectly for the stargazing, a boat trip on the on the largest rib in the world and the jungle park. Everything lived up to what he said it would be! My misses loved everything we did. He was very knowledgeable about the traveling and the weather plus he helped with us pick the perfect trips as it was special time for us. His local knowledge was spot on. Thank you Dan and Tenerife first excursions you made our holiday

    Tenerife first excursions ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was at home in the UK and wanted to pre book a hire car for our holiday this June. I’ve previously been to Tenerife and had a great experience with using Tenerife First Excursions. That was around 3 years ago, and today we received the exact same service as we did then. Which shows, that’s just who they are. Amazing service, friendly staff, always responsive and they almost seem like a friend rather than a business, very very welcoming. If you’re heading to Tenerife, I strongly recommend using First excursions for any of your holiday needs. They leave you no doubt and you feel instantly like you’re in good hands. 5 stars !

    Tenerife mejor que ver las ballenas Tenerife es único. Si no tuviera la vida echa en otra parte, aquí me venía a vivir. Y la gente estupenda, simpática, amables abiertos. Las ballenas bueno fue una experiencia de tres horas, las vimos a lo lejos, pero mo vimos nada más. Te Dan una pulga de bocadillo y una vbebida al empezar y casi al acabar.
