La Gomera is about 50 minutes by ferry from Los Cristianos and is one of the most authentic Canary Islands. On this full-day excursion you explore it with a guide, without worrying about timetables or mountain roads.
Typical itinerary
- Ferry from Los Cristianos to San Sebastián de La Gomera.
- Coach or minibus route through ravines and viewpoints.
- Walk in Garajonay National Park, a laurel forest listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
- Views over Valle Gran Rey and a demonstration of Silbo Gomero, the whistled language recognised by UNESCO.
- Traditional lunch and ferry back in the afternoon.
Who it is for
Travellers who want to discover Canarian nature beyond the beach. The forest walk is gentle and suitable for most people; a more demanding hiking version is also available.
What to bring
- Comfortable closed shoes.
- A jacket: Garajonay is cooler and can be misty.
- ID card or passport for the ferry.
Best time to go
All year round; in winter the laurel forest is especially green and lush. The ferry can be affected by bad weather, in which case the excursion is rescheduled to another day of your stay.
