Canary Islands Walking - La Gomera & Tenerife

Start & end in San Miguel de Abona 8 days Up to 16

About this trip

This tour covers two very different sides of the Canary Islands, starting on La Gomera before hopping across to Tenerife. You get cloud forest, black sand beaches and quiet villages on one island, then the stark volcanic terrain of Mount Teide on the other.

It's a walking-focused trip with a fully guided group, so the days are built around getting out on foot into national parks and along coastal paths rather than sightseeing from a bus.

What you'll do

  • Walk through the laurel forest and sub-tropical plants of Garajonay National Park
  • Take a circular walk around Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain
  • Wander into Agulo, a village perched on a cliff with open sea views
  • See La Gomera's black sand beaches and cloud forest scenery
  • Cross between two islands with contrasting landscapes on one trip
Good to know
  • Involves a transfer between La Gomera and Tenerife partway through
  • Suits people who want their days structured around hiking rather than lounging
  • Private room available if you'd rather not share
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want accessible walking in genuinely stunning scenery with a standout guide. Think twice if you need challenging hikes or predictable itineraries.

  • Guide Ester creates the real magic—friendly, fun, personable enough to make dinners memorable even if you skip the walks.
  • Laurisilva cloud forest descent and Alto de Garajonay views across four islands are legitimately magical, not marketing speak.
  • Optional circular walks like Punta San Lorenzo and Roques de Garcia let you pick your own difficulty and pace.
  • The trip suits varied fitness levels—one reviewer joined only dinners due to injury, still felt included and well-fed.
