La Gomera is the shelter to a rare Atlantic cloud forest, laurisilva. It’s a primeval woodland consisting of 30-metre-high trees, evergreens, ferns and mosses. This laurisilva is an olden, magical woodland that invokes a profound connection with nature and the ancient world.

Efficient tour. - Great all day trip that started off early but was well worth it. Antonio picked us up first as our hotel was the furthest out but was both polite & knowledgable throughout the journey. The ferry was super efficient & you could buy coffee & lots of snack food on board. La Gomera is a stunning island, we were taken on some very steep, winding roads and the driver drove them with ease. There are many stops for you to take photos. The restaurant stop was nice, the demonstration of whistling was unreal. A busy day of seeing the both sides of a very different island.

Excellent experience - I gave an excursion to La Gomera to my parents who came here on holiday, just to make them spend a different day than usual, they were so happy with the experience that the next day they booked another excursion, Magic Teide Night. They were delighted with the experience, they will surely trust them again when they return on holiday.

Island Tour - The island is amazing and taking the ferry over was relaxing. Be sure and understand pick up locations! We missed ours but the dispatcher called and sent his driver for us! That was over the top.

Brilliant Tour, Definitely Recommend! - Definitely recommend this tour! We would never have covered as much by ourselves, we originally considered going over to do a hike. We had a great time on the tour, we only booked the night before but the whole process was smooth. They organised the return ferry from Los Crostianos as well.
Our guide (Guido?) was brilliant, he was fun and had a lot of great info- was translating in 4 languages! Enjoyed the lunch and whistling language demonstration. Amazing to see the scenery in La Gomera and how dramatically it changed in different parts on the island.
All in all was a fantastic time, thank you!

Fab day out! - The most memorable was the difference of climate in such a short distance. It was a truly fabulous island.

Recommended excursion - top organisation, punctual hotel pickup, friendly and super informative guide, pleasant group size, climate a bit too cold set in the bus, unfortunately the lunch was not typically regional what would have been desirable, there were only tikü vegetables with little poulet and dry rice as dessert a ice cream in the packaged plastic cup. the soup as a starter was very delicious the bread was unfortunately hard and dry. but was touted in the tour description as delicious lunch. this was not true from our point of view. seating was very tight at the table despite ample empty space and tables in the restaurant.
Conclusion: it was a great and successful trip. can be highly recommended. with air up when eating.

A unique Canarian island - An interesting trip albeit commentary in four languages was a bit tedious. Great views coupled with a good value lunch. The trip show cased an island that was a complete contrast to Tenerife in terms of flora and fauna and general pace of life.

A different excursion - The excursion is worth it to explore La Gomera, go to the Garajonay National Park and see the demonstration of the Gomero whistle. However, the food could be improved, especially because of the small amount that was served. On the other hand, the stop at the Garajonay National Park was too short, so there was practically no time to explore or enjoy it. Initially the forecast was to stop for an hour and we only stayed for 40 minutes. We could have eliminated the stop at one of the viewpoints if we were too short on time and extended our stay in the park, which was really much more worth it

La Gomera Island - In our beautiful tour to Tenerife we were convinced to visit the island of La Gomera. To go there you have to go to Los Cristianos and wait for the ferry. Honestly, the island is rather disappointing... too wild and perhaps for this reason the least touristy!
