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.

    Aanrader! Echt een aanrader om te doen! Naast het sterrenkijken ook zeer interessant om het eiland te verkennen en de leuke weetjes te leren kennen. Helaas hadden wij het op onze dag niet erg getroffen met het weer, waardoor het erg bewolkt was en we uiteindelijk niet de zonsondergang konden zien en heel weinig sterren. Daarnaast deden ze we wel alles aan om een plek op de bergen te vinden waar het minder bewolkt was, alleen helaas geen geluk. Maar alsnog zeker een aanrader om te doen!

    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

    Fantastic experience & great staff Highly recommend this trip, as friends or especially as a couple! The King brothers were so friendly & informative about the volcano and sights. The quads are so fun & easy to drive. Emily was also fantastic & went over and above her call of duty to ensure my sister & I had a great experience. The views are stunning! Wear something super warm though as it’s freezing the higher up the mountain you go!

    Très bonne excursion en quad au teide, le coucher de soleil est superbe. Superbe excursion au teide en quad, très bien encadrée. Le coucher de soleil est magnifique et la conduite en quad est agréable. Le petit goûter, les photos et le service de taxi sont un plus appréciable. Petite pensée à Federico, merci pour ta bonne humeur mon ami, très professionnel et on a pu bien rigoler avec toi. Je recommande fortement

    Holiday in Tenerife We booked a couple of activities to do on our holiday in Tenerife. A whale and dolphin boat trip, siam park and monkey park, all of them were amazing. We all loved the boat trip as we saw loads of whales and were able to go for a swim. Thank you to Tenerife excursions and Laura for arranging some lovely trips.
