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 wanted to leave a separate note towards kim as she is absolutely amazing, we saw this excursion hut on tik tok & came over to see if for ourselves, we booked night star gazing & the royal delfin, she didn’t bribe us like some of the other excursion huts do, she treats us like friends not customers, she knows how to have a laugh & we will without doubt be recommending this & returning potentially this holiday, there’s no pressure or anything, the most welcoming excursion hut i know, thank you kim we love you, from tia number one, tia number two, & jody :)

    Dan, Kim, Matt & all the gang at Tenerife First Excursions are all absolute heroes. I’ve been visiting Tenerife for many years & used many excursion suppliers but these guys are by far the very best.
    Customer service - including before & after your excursion - is off the charts & 2nd to none. Honest, reliable & professional. One of the only companies I deal with who treat me as not just a customer, but also a good friend.
    Very highly recommended. Thanks guys!

    Whale of a time I am writing this review on behalf of our granddaughter and her friend. We paid for this boat trip for her birthday. We brought the trip though tenerife first excursions a lovely helpful lady called Lisa Fay. We booked the trip on our last visit. Also booked a jet ski and Siam park .which my granddaughter will do on our next visit in 3 weeks time.
    The boat trip was amazing only 15 people on board. The guys who ran it were lovely and look after all the people on the boat. Carva,
    beer,juice and water plus chicken legs, Canarian potatoes ,bread, rice and more all included. They also saw a family of whales and the seagulls following the boat being fed by the crew. They stopped for a swim by a beach, and snorkels were provided if you wished to use them. All in all for the price a fabulous 3 hours.
