Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll discover the island of La Gomera and its Jurassic-like primeval landscapes
  • Exploring the laurel forests of UNESCO-listed Garajonay National Park is unique
  • There's time to get to know the traditional villages of Chejelipes, Hermigua and Agulo
  • Savouring a Gomeran lunch and sampling island delicacies is a treat for your senses
  • Your tour is led by an expert local guide with an unrivalled knowledge of La Gomera
What to expect

Seen from the sea, La Gomera's jagged peaks and luxuriant landscapes tell you something special lies ahead. As Arianne, one of our expert local guides says, ‘Garajonay is primeval – it has vegetation from millions of years ago, which is why you can encounter outsize versions of flora such as giant dandelions, huge bush snapdragons and bay leaf plants twice the size you'd see at home.'

After crossing by ferry in VIP seating – with drinks included – you'll board an air-conditioned luxury coach. Soon, you'll be climbing up from sea level through ravines. There's a pit stop in the hamlet of Chejelipes, where you can take some snaps by its reservoir. Next up are the valley village of Hermigua and Agulo, a hamlet that looks down towards the north coast. It's famed for its dinky houses and views of Tenerife. But the cobbled alleys around its white-roofed, Greek-style parish church epitomise the romanticism of rural La Gomera.

But the best is yet to come. You'll ascend to the rim of Jurassic-like Garajonay – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – which is often shrouded in a misty horizontal rain, towards the visitor centre. Learn about the park's botany and history as well as its environmental protection programme. Plus, you'll visit an ethnographic museum, where you can sample some local delicacies. At a family-run restaurant, you'll savour a typical Gomeran lunch made from locally sourced ingredients. Then meander through laurel woods to Laguna Grande Forest. And if time permits, you'll get to wander around the island's capital, San Sebastian.

    The whole holiday experience was excellent. other than the TUI flight my Barclays debit card was not excepted as payment so I was unable to purchase and refreshments nor buy any gifts. Very disappointing it remained the same both in and out flights owing to a glitch. !!!!!!????

    The seat belts on the pickup and drop off coaches didn’t work and arm rest wouldn’t stay up. The VIP mini bus on La Gomera was not in good condition and extremely narrow inside. The Guide tried hard but with 3 languages she rushed the cometary and we struggled to understand what she was saying. The information about the trip before we left was limited and we were not advised how cold it would be on the island just that we needed a jacket as it could be cold on the ferry.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Wine in the Canary Islands - a sensory experience

Tra degustazioni sui pendii soleggiati in cui vengono prodotti, ti immergerai nella cultura e nella coltivazione dei vini canari in un esclusivo National Geographic Day Tour. Scopri il patrimonio vinicolo, i panorami, gli odori, i sapori, le consistenze e i suoni dell'isola in una cantina a conduzione familiare e degusta quattro annate abbinate a piatti tipici.Prima, a La Casa del Vino, una tenuta del XVII secolo divenuta museo, troverai un bicchiere dello spumante locale e una "rosquette", un dolce delle Canarie. La guida ti racconterà la storia dei viticoltori spagnoli del XVI secolo che piantarono vitigni europei nel fertile terreno vulcanico, catapultando Tenerife sul panorama vinicolo mondiale.Poi ci sarà Bodegas El Lomo. Vedrai il giardino, dove uve rare, quasi estinte in Europa, continuano a prosperare, e sorseggerai del vino, accompagnato da una tapa esclusiva dello chef visionario Jorge Bosch. L'enologo ti illustrerà i profumi e le fasi chiave per svelare l'origine di un vino in un laboratorio di aromi con un'altra tapa esclusiva. Uscirai in terrazza per uno spuntino a tema vendemmia con chicchi di gofio tostati e un formaggio di capra locale, servito con un vino fruttato a macerazione carbonica. Il gran finale risveglia l'udito: in una stanza buia, assaggerai l'ultima annata con tapa e scoprirai come la musica influenza la percezione del vino.È molto più di un semplice tour di degustazione: è un'esperienza personale su come il vino può stimolare i sensi.
