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.

    Belle nuit d'étoiles et explications intéressantes Très belle soirée étoilée avec de superbes explications en français données par Maxime qui n'a aucun secret sur le nom grec des étoiles, des constellations et nous instruit de manière simple et intéressante, belle approche. Même pas mal au cou à regarder les étoiles avec leur super laser qui va jusqu'à cibler l'étoile en question dans le ciel ! Les guides en différentes langues ne se gênent pas, et tout le monde a pu observer sur les 4 différents télescopes, ce qu'il avait décrit, en petits groupes de 5 personnes/télescope. Nous en avons eu plein les yeux mais habillez vous chaudement. Petite cafète et toilettes à disposition. Visite nocturne à recommander.

    We met Dan at the selling point in Los Cristianos and he was more than helpful to give us all the infos we needed to decide and buy the 1 day trip to La Gomera.
    I think is the best deal you could get if you want to spend a day on La Gomera, as the price covers the ferry, lunch, guide and transport with the touring bus!
    Also, Tenerife First Excursions has a huge range of activities to offer at the best rates.
    Highly recommended!

    By far the best excursion on the island! By far the best thing I have done on the island! Daniel and Danny were superb answered all our questions and was so informative about mount Teide and surroundings. I was already loving the tour until watching the sunset above the clouds was just the perfect ending! They provide full safety gear and a safety talk as well as water. Also we had the most beautiful photos as memories for only €20! Highly recommended this!! Good value for money and a shout out to Emily who picked us up and dropped us off to our hotel she was so lovely and chatty!

    The best and only company I would ever booked for any excursions in Tenerife ! I would 1000% recommend to anyone to book any excursions with TFE ! From when Mattie , Trev and Now Richard sorting out is with the 2hr rental boat , jet ski and the para sailing for such a good price ! Can’t thank TFE enough for making my brother’s 21st an absolute blast! I will certainly be booking with you guys again when I’m staying in March ! As a bonus every excursion you booked with TFE , you get 20% off chillbox (which for us adults it’s the best alcoholic slushie ever) ! ❤️😊

    3h whale watching excursion with pick up from Los Cristianos.
    Unfortunately, my wife was taken ill the morning of our trip, and at very short notice we had to cancel. Rescheduling I thought would be almost impossible at such short notice, so I understood/expected we would lose the money paid out for the trip, or so I thought…. I would like to say a massive thank you to Sahar, who is an absolute star, and after much effort on her part actually managed to rearrange the trip for later in the week. We really appreciate Sahar’s help, total respect.
    The whale watching trip was fun and amazing, many a spotted dolphin and pilot whale were seen. All in all, a very professional service from start to finish. My thanks to everyone involved.
