Tour Overview
Embark on an enchanting journey through La Gomera's wild landscapes, captivating scenery, and serene villages, all best explored on foot. A tranquil haven away from bustling tourist hubs, La Gomera, accessible only by ferry, unveils a pristine natural beauty that time seems to have forgotten.
As the ferry approaches from Los Cristianos in Tenerife, initial impressions may deceive, with the island appearing barren. However, hidden gems emerge swiftly, showcasing traditional Canarian white villages, majestic mountains, pine forests, and breathtaking cliffs. La Gomera boasts unique wildlife, adding to the island's allure and providing a genuine pleasure for explorers.
Valle Gran Rey serves as your island hub, a coastal retreat just an hour from San Sebastian, the capital.

Short bus rides from the hotel lead to magnificent walks, unveiling the true beauty of valleys and seascapes. Traverse paths alongside mountain streams, winding through fertile valleys teeming with lush vegetation and tropical mountain panoramas. Venture across volcanic mountains for unparalleled island views.

Christmas and New Year departures offer a unique festive celebration in a different setting.
Please note: Inclement weather may slightly increase the challenge of some walks.Â
