VIP La Gomera Adventure with Get Holiday

Set off from the lively port of Los Cristianos on Tenerife’s southern coast for an immersive 11-hour VIP excursion to La Gomera, a Canary Island steeped in geological wonder, rich cultural heritage, and ancient ecosystems. Operated by Get Holiday, this full-day journey offers an intimate window into one of Spain’s most distinctive natural playgrounds, characterized by dramatic volcanic formations, lush subtropical forests, and historic coastal villages.

Your adventure begins aboard the Fred Olsen ferry, crossing clear Atlantic waters to San Sebastián de La Gomera, the island’s capital where Christopher Columbus set sail for the Americas. From here, a guided bus tour takes you deep into the island’s diverse climatic zones—from arid lowlands up to the mist-laden heights of Garajonay National Park. Here, you’ll encounter the Laurisilva forest, a rare subtropical cloud forest that has survived since the era of the dinosaurs, alive with vibrant endemic flora.

Immortal volcanic monoliths like Roque de Agando punctuate the skyline, offering unparalleled opportunities to observe the island’s unique horizontal rainfall phenomenon. Along the route, stops in rural towns like Chipude and El Cercado provide a glimpse of enduring island traditions, from tasting local products to visiting a five-century-old pottery museum maintained by local artisans.

One of the day’s highlights is the breathtaking viewpoint at Valle Gran Rey, where deep canyons meet ocean vistas. After a traditional Canarian lunch near Laguna Grande—where you’ll also hear the island’s famous silbo gomero, a whistled language used historically to communicate across valleys—a short hike lets you engage closely with the forest’s ecosystem.

The trip concludes with a scenic drive through northern villages like Agulo and Hermigua, finishing in San Sebastián with time to absorb historic landmarks such as the Torre del Conde and Casa de Colón. Whether you’re drawn by geology, botany, or history, Get Holiday’s VIP tour delivers a comprehensive, expertly guided La Gomera experience that stands apart in the Canary Islands’ outdoor adventure scene.
