The circular walk allows you to fully enjoy this hidden gem of an island and its truly dramatic scenery, all the way from sea level with its exotic banana plantations to the misty ‘forest in the clouds’ that covers the top of the island.
What’s more, it includes a visit to the village of Hermigua, idyllically set in the middle of a ravine, which is covered in both sides by countless terraces.
La Gomera has survived from the frenzy of development seen elsewhere in the Canary Islands and has retained an old-world rural feel, with homesteads, small vineyards and rocky peaks set in an amazing crown of laurel cloud forest.
The island has a relaxed atmosphere and, although you will not come across any hordes of tourists, what you will find is a good infrastructure of roads, amenities and services, as well as a great range of affordable, traditional restaurants and small family-run hotels.
Arrive by ferry at the port of San Sebastian from Los Cristianos, Tenerife (roundtrip included). Your hotel is located approx 15 minutes by foot or a short taxi journey (± €10).
Accommodation: Hotel Torre del Conde is our 3* hotel and is situated in the centre of San Sebastian on a bed & breakfast basis. Dinner can be taken in one of the many restaurants in town. There are two beaches within easy reach on foot. Or upgrade and stay in the Parador hotel.
La Gomera what a beautiful island, the landscape, the people, the food. Where in Europe can you still go and not meet loads of English tourists - La Gomera. Where can you go and not lock the doors or even leave the door open all night - La Gomara Where can you go and still find all the menus still in the native language - La Gomera. Around every corner there is another super view. The cloud forest is unique. Every one you meet is friendly and helpful. The hikes are hard work we have walked 90miles in 10 day equivalent in altitude gains of walking up and down Snowden 4 times up and down Ben Nevis once and then down Ben Nevis again, but VERY rewarding.
La Gomera is a stunning island with an amazing variety of landscapes and stunning views. Our experience felt very authentic and we enjoyed the local hospitality. The hiking was enjoyable but tough. I would certainly rate some of the ascents and descents as challenging rather than moderate. The terrain is often rocky but it is the areas with small stones, particularly on the downhill that can lead one to be on their feet one minute and on the ground the next! It can be very slippery with all the loose gravel and stones and needs solid concentration! In spite of this we enjoyed the trip very much and would heartily recommend visiting La Gomera.
La Gomera was wonderful - very un-touristy. Local reps were very helpful and sorted out a couple of logistical problems very efficiently. The walking was pretty strenuous at times. We're both in our mid sixties and were glad we had done a decent amount of preparation. The scenery was spectacular, BUT, it comes with precipitous drops along the trails, so if you are a bit twitchy about heights, this might not be the island for you!
The walking route was nicely maintained, with the mix of hikes across the island. I literally have seen all the gems of La Gomera! The extra days on the beach after almost a week of hikes was amazing as well. It was my first self-guided walking tour, I was a bit concerned if I’ll be able to complete (not being really super fit), but it went so good - instructions are well written, it was easy to follow and on the route my hiking shoes and walking sticks helps a million. I was able to both work out and to unwind. Thank you for all organizational support, good choice of hotels and walking guidance.
I would like to thank you for organizing the tour to La Gomera at such a short notice. I came back home last Sunday evening and am still full of energy and excitement about the whole trip! Great selection of hotels, easy navigating with very well written instructions - I have not used GPS at all, the notes were more than enough for me. Such a holiday was great to have a full reset, as I was totally focused on the route during the day and taking lots of pictures :-) La Gomera is an amazing and very beautiful island!
