What to expect

As you approach La Gomera by sea, the dramatic contours hint at extraordinary landscapes waiting to be explored. As Arianne, one of our expert local guides says, "A trip to La Gomera is like visiting a totally different era. You'll feel like you're getting back to the past, to the origins of the Canary Islands." On this day trip from Tenerife, you'll discover remote villages, spend time in Garajonay National Park and visit the capital, San Sebastian.

Garajonay National Park boasts pristine woodlands which are over 60 million years old, and they are undoubtedly a highlight of a visit to La Gomera. The park is a true natural treasure, recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Deep ravines scar the swathes of evergreen laurel forests bursting with rare plant life. The visitor centre is the place to find out more about the unique botany and history of Garajonay. Next, you'll pay a visit to some of La Gomera's most scenic villages where you can get a feel for what life is like for the island's residents.

After departing Garajonay, we'll stop for a typical lunch made from local produce, served at a family-run restaurant with striking views over the island's volcanic landscapes. You'll also delve into La Gomera's culture with a demonstration of 'silbo gomero' – a unique whistling language. Arianne says, "With a landscape like ours, communicating by whistle saved a lot of climbing." Round off your island tour with free time to explore San Sebastian, where Columbus set out on his first voyage of discovery.

    we enjoyed Gomera national park but didn't see the point in stopping to view the banana plantation particularly as we had very limited time to explore San Sebastian which is a delightful town. The lunch was not good with vegetable soup that was tasteless, the chicken was ok but served with bland rice and vegetables and only white wine or water was offered. The staff seemed disinterested in us or the service they provided. Beautiful island so trip could have been very much better.

    Guide was awful, hard to locate bus after ferry as she sat inside bus rather than standing outside, stopped at national park & didn’t provide any facts or info on the park or where to hike just be back in parking lot in one hour while she chain smoked outside the cafe. Same at the ferry terminal town just be back here in 1 hour, no guidance on where to go, English was hard to understand

    The guide was lovely and always checking on us and repeating everything in English as we were the only ones amongst a couch full of Germans, The sit down lunch was cramped and uncomfortable especially being placed amongst Germans it was a bit claustrophobic , lucky the guy on our table could speak English which really helped us to settle a bit. Didn't get very long at the end in the main town which was a real shame as would have loved to have looked around better 30 mins is not enough

Southern Tenerife sightseeing tour with wine-tasting

Southern Tenerife sightseeing tour with wine-tasting

Dramatic landscapes and rugged, volcanic shores come as standard in Tenerife. But, not a lot is said about the rich agriculture the island offers. On this tour, you'll journey through the south and get to know the island's culture and identity. You'll see how aloe vera is grown and learn about its many uses at a plantation, explore the lofty village of Vilaflor de Chasna and sample local wines. Ivan, one of our expert local guides, says “Vilaflor was once called Chasna. But, when a ship captain called Pedro de Bracamonte visited, he spotted a beautiful Guanche girl and shouted Vi la flor de Chasna, which means I've seen the flower of Chasna – after this, the village got its name.”The dry climate and year-round sunshine in the Canaries mean that aloe vera thrives here, even though it is not a native species – it originally came from the Arabian Peninsula. You'll take a guided tour of the plantation, and the owners will share their knowledge about the curative powers of this well-known plant, which is used for medicinal purposes in cultures throughout history.Next, you'll visit Vilaflor. Perched on the southern slope of the island's volcano, Mount Teide, the views down to the coast from 1,400 metres above sea level are next level. The village has an almost Alpine feel that's totally different from the tropical coastline – it has the largest pine forest in the Canaries on its doorstep. After a look around the village, you'll visit an award-winning family-owned winery and sit down for a tasting.
