La Gomera is a beautiful island and well worth a day tour over from Tenerife. Ferries go from Los Cristionas port but be aware that you have to have passports checked when boarding and if you suffer with sea sickness, take medication, although crossing is only one hour long, because the ferry is a catamaran style, it can get very choppy! Lots of different tours available on the island, some include the ferry ticket package. But the highlights for us was the tiny capital of San Sebastian and then the stunning north side of the volcanic island that is covered in lush green forest and has some unique rock formations. If you suffer with travel sickness then again, take medication as roads are winding and steep sided. Stunning views back towards Tenerife of Teide Volcano too. It is a long day and a little tiring but you get to see the highlights of the Island and if your a geology nut like me then you'll love all the information on the landscape and volcanic activity provided by your tour guide! We booked tours with our hotel jet 2 rep!

The collection from our hotel was on time and our Introduction to Enrico was in perfect English. He speaks in 4 or 5 languages throughout the journey around La Gomera. Hilarious tales of his life's various twists and turns literally as we are twisting and turning around sharp hairpin bends. All relevant information and tastefully considered for all ages and ears. A special thanks to "F1 Pepe" our bus driver for the days' miles through the twisty and quite frightening heights of La Gomeras' volcanoes and forrest terrain. His safe and efficient driving is the reason for his F1 status. Not his speed. ;) Sadly we could not see the peaks of the Chimney :( Mist/fog/horizontal rain, spoiled the late morning views from above. Lunch was a truly magnificent experience. Clean, precise and beautifuly presented food. I recommend the fish and red wine. After lunch it's a leisurely pace back to San Sebastian for 45mins free time before the last ferry departure at 1730. An eleven and a half hour day (including transfers and ferries) of wonderous sights, cliffs, volcanoes, ravine, gorges, dams, forrests, desert like conditions mixed with local knowledge, whistling languages and good humour. 11 out of 10

La Gomera is nice place, but I don't advice go through any agency. My experience show you ll spend 75% in a bus listening short comments on 2,3 or more languages. Don't forget ID, jacket , walking shoes, some water and snacks.

We decided to visit La Gomera with friends. Contacted the travel agency island excursions.Categorically do not recommend this agency. Supposedly forgot to mention the passport. Muttered very quickly about the shirt, shoes and transfer. Of course, it's our own fault for not checking the trip online, but my opinion is that the agency, when getting paid, should take customers more seriously. We had to go back to the hotel to get passports and take a cab. So passport, jacket, water, snacks are mandatory. Next, the ferry. The guide shoved in the tickets, waved a pen like, "You can take the ferry there, meet me at Homer." D.C. got on, drove, got on a bus and drove about an hour and a half to the volcano. All the while, the guide chatted in Spanish, Italian and terrible English, giving almost no information, dispensing with basic knowledge, flat jokes and praise for the place we were going. Came to the volcano vent, such a rock of magma, the crater collapsed from time to time, the vent remained. Attention: cold, wet, jackets. The views are beautiful, photo time. Another hour and we're in the relic forest. It's better to go in June when the blooms are in progress. In September, it's a fairytale scary forest. Again, we drive, listening to endless Spanish-Italian phrases. English minimum. Came to the farm, like typical Spanish. Yeah, with the museum, the store and the plants that grow everywhere. Next up is lunch. 1 butt. Wine, 2 bottles of water for 8 people, small portions, dining room level, and you have to wait for service. Of interesting things, whistled. You Google what kind of language Homer was wearing. San Sebastian is the capital, and we took the ferry for an hour. Not recommended. It's better to take the car, drive yourself, about the same price, but comfortable. There were a lot of these on the ferry. Good luck, everyone, and study the reviews!

Very good tour guide! Pick up perfect. Nice trip over the island. The only downside was lunch. It was very small. I was happy to be able to eat a bread I had brought from home afterwards.
Very knowledgeable guide.

Really excellent trip the guide was very knowledgeable. Make sure you take a jumper or waterproof as it is effectively a rainforest. Also keep an eye on the weather as it is very cloudy if you want to get great views.

Running away. The only positive point is the landscapes of La Gomera. Lack of organization, planned small group tour in minivan with a guide in French, we meet 50 in a bus with a guide in German / English. Guide incomprehensible and providing as information only trivialities on the island. Oversized bus for the island’s road roso... Lunch!!! Meals with ridiculous portions, wine expected 1/2 bottle per person served actually 1 for 6. Oh, shit!
Very nice excursion...

It was exciting to see how different La Gomera appears in the south and north. From the laurel rainforest to the beach with black volcanic sand in San Sebastian de la Gomera.
