THIS IS A PRIVATE TOUR
You will be met at the port by a Cruising Excursions representative who will then guide you to your air conditioned transportation ready to commence your tour.
Setting off from La Gomera’s capital, San Sebastian, the town with a population of just 8700 inhabitants is a delightful with low rise brightly-coloured houses, and narrow, winding streets. San Sebastian and the Island are famous for being the last port of call in the known world on the 1492 Epic journey by Christopher Columbus. After leaving the town we head for the Valley of Hermigua, which is well-known for its sprawling banana plantations.
You’ll get a good look at the vast fields on your way to Agulo, a pretty village that’s surrounded by a huge basalt wall, which measures 300 metres high. There’ll be a photo stop here, so you can get out and enjoy the panoramas across the Atlantic Ocean. If you’re really lucky and the weather is clear, you’ll be able to see Tenerife and towering Mount Teide in the distance.
Finally, you’ll drive through the sweeping Garajonay National Park, an ancient ecosystem that’s part of the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage collection. Look out for wildlife unique to the area, as you pass through this luch primeval laurel forest, which extends over the large central plateau of the island. There’ll be one more stop en route to the ship at Los Roques – an area of four formidable volcanic chimneys protuding which have been exposed by differential erosion over millions of years.
