DETAILS

La Gomera is the second smallest of the main islands in Spain’s Canary Islands. It is known for its volcanic mountains and hiking trails that crisscross the islands taking you to hidden places. There are ocean views all around as the island is located in the Atlantic Ocean. La Gomera is the destination if you are looking for peace and quiet away from the crowds. This is the place for some winter sun and outdoor activity in lush landscape. We will explore the Garajonay National Park, a Unesco World Heritage site since 2021. It has been designated a Biosphere Reserve along with the rest of the island. There will also be rest time to chill at the hotel or do your own exploring of nearby towns.

For swimmers there is the local beach.The hotel also has a spa and 5 swimming pools to relax in after walking or to simply chill in your free time. There are also many hotel based activities on offer which will be explained to you at your arrival briefing. Perhaps a spa, a massage , a game of pickle ball…there is lots on offer!

The people of La Gomera pride themselves on their fresh and unspoiled food and wine. The Atlantic Ocean offers a variety of fresh fish and for vegetarians there is a wealth of fruit and vegetables grown locally. Some speciality products are palm honey, Gofio (a flour made from roasted grain) Gomeran cheese and their very own Malvasia wine. There will be plenty of time to experience the local cuisine.

There are also local producers of La Gomera coffee, cheeses, honey and other products which your guide can introduce you to.

ITINERARY

Rene your guide will discuss with you and decide on which 5 walks you will do depending on the weather. We believe you will get the best from your week with some walking, a whale watching trip plus a free day to enjoy your own time.

Rene shares the details of the walk and the maps the night before. As weather changes it is best to finalise the day before. We say pack your spirit of adventure and come and enjoy.

Walks start at 10am on the 5 walking days.

There is also lots of free time to just relax, have a spa, a massage, walk locally from the hotel or just rest by the pool and read. This is a well-being break.

Whale Watching is included – a very special ocean trip..
