Boat Trips to La Gomera: Tenerife's spectacular neighbour
While holidaying in Tenerife, it is often a great idea to get out and do some exploring. With many stunning sites in Tenerife itself, not all holidaymakers consider a boat trip to one of the neighbouring Canary Islands. This, however, is a real highlight for holidays to the Canary Islands considering the close proximity of many of the islands.
The island of La Gomera is adjacent to Tenerife and a great place to visit for a day trip. Boats leave from the harbour of Los Cristianos for a quick ferry ride to the port of San Sebastian de la Gomera. Often included in the tour will be transport to the major places of interest on the island ensuring that the time spent here is not wasted.
La Gomera is often likened to a giant bisected orange, as valleys radiate from the centre of islands dividing the different island areas. The centre of the island is home to the volcano that created the island. The volcano lies dormant, as with many in the Canary Islands, and is one of the biggest draws for tourists visiting the island. The volcano is located in the Parque Nacional de Garajonay, where a wide variety of flora and fauna cover the hillsides before the souring mountains. The area has UNESCO World Heritage status and is well worth a visit. It is also a great spot for both hiking and mountain biking for those with a little more time on the island.
Other places of interest in La Gomera are found in the north, where banana and orange plantations can be seen alongside almond trees, cacti and bamboo groves. It is no wonder an area on the island has been termed Beautiful Valley, creating a real feeling of the Garden of Eden. La Gomera is home to many deserted villages which are easily explored while hiking, whilst the black sand beaches provide the most picturesque of settings and the capital - San Sebastian - is well worth a visit.
For those holiday makers that take a little time to explore some of the other islands in the region while on their Canary Islands holidays there are rich rewards with La Gomera heading the list for the best day trip in the region. Whether you decide on a day trip on the boat from Tenerife or decide to stay for a number of days, returning back to Tenerife at a later date, you will not be disappointed by the wonders of La Gomera.
