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.

    Jetski experience - an hour we'll remember for a long time! More memories made after a wonderful hour out on the water. Trip sorted by Kim at Tenerife First Excursions, who was great. Ski company reassured my nervous teen daughter today and she was absolutely buzzing after the experience, which helped tackle her concerns over being in open water too, as we jumped off half way through for a lovely swim. Took out 3 singles and were joined by a lovely couple on a double jetski. They fell off twice but they clambered back on and had a brilliant time. My son left me behind as I hung on for my life and feared I'd fall off. I got better as time went on but even my daughter had caught me up in the end and was turning with confidence. I worried about the experience but need not have done as we were put at ease and the session felt safe and well away from others on the water.

    The best experience. Myself and my 11 year old son went into the shop in Las Americas and were met with Lorena.. We booked jet skis, quad bike, scuba diving, stargazing and all inclusive Siam park with her and she was amazing. It was our first trip about just us so I wanted everything to be perfect and it was just that.. She gave me every single bit of information I needed to make it as smooth as possible for us. The trips themselves were absolutely fantastic and we made so many memories and had the best time. Thank you Lorena.
