After your individual arrival at Tenerife South Airport, a shared transfer will take you to the Los Cristianos ferry port (approx. 20 minutes). From there, you will take the ferry to La Gomera (approx. 1 hour). On the island, a bus will be waiting to take you to Valle Gran Rey, about 50 km away in the southwest (approx. 1 hour). Valle Gran Rey drops dramatically from almost 700 meters to the sea. Here, the island reveals its subtropical side with palm trees, banana plantations, and papaya trees. Upon arrival, your tour guide will greet you, and there will be time for a refreshing drink. Depending on flight times, arrival may be late, meaning restaurants may already be closed – it's best to bring your own food.

On your first hike, your tour guide will give you tips for the coming days. She has lived in the valley for many years and knows the best cafés, bars, restaurants, and leisure activities – which will also be helpful for your free time. You'll learn interesting facts about the "Valley of the Great King" and get a first impression of the islanders' lives, traditions, and unique characteristics. After the hike, there will be time for a swim in the Atlantic Ocean or in the resort's pool. The first day ends in a relaxed atmosphere with a welcome dinner together.

This hike takes you through the mountain villages of Arure, El Cercado, and Chipude, offering a glimpse into the lives of the local people – winemaking and goat farming are important sources of income here. From Arure, the trail winds through hills and valleys along a scenic path to El Cercado, known for its pottery. An old connecting path leads you onward to Chipude, home to one of the island's oldest churches. The hike concludes with a stop at one of the charming local restaurants.

Today's hike begins at the legendary springs of Epina, renowned for their excellent drinking water. A beautiful forest path, lined with ancient trees, mosses, and lichens, leads you up to the Mirador (viewpoint). The forest takes on a particularly magical quality when shrouded in dense mist, making the outlines of the trees barely visible. After crossing the mountain road, the trail continues with minimal elevation gain through the lush vegetation of the national park to the mountain village of Las Hayas, famous for its honey production.

Relax on the beach or by the pool, explore the area on your own, or book additional activities such as hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, or yoga through your local tour guide. A boat trip to the basalt columns of Los Órganos or a "gentle" whale and dolphin watching excursion is also highly recommended: in the waters around La Gomera, you have an excellent chance of spotting large marine mammals – over 30 different species call these waters home.

The starting point for this hike is the "Chorros de Epina" bar. You'll initially follow the road briefly, enjoying views of the Epina valley on one side and Roque Cano on the other. The trail then continues along a high-altitude path with views of the west coast and the neighboring island of La Palma. After a rest at the Santa Clara chapel, a picturesque path leads you through lush vegetation and former terraced fields, down a ravine (barranco) to Vallehermoso.

The varied hike begins in the heart of Garajonay National Park, one of the oldest primeval forests in Europe. It is home to rare animals and plants and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its unique ecosystem. Wisps of mist envelop trees and ferns, mosses and lichens are saturated with moisture, lending the forest a mystical atmosphere. First, the trail ascends to Alto de Garajonay, La Gomera's highest mountain (1,487 m). From here, you can see the neighboring islands of Tenerife, La Palma, and El Hierro. From the summit, the high-altitude path, once used by the island's original inhabitants, continues with a constant series of ups and downs. Magnificent views and photo opportunities open up on both sides, including the Roques, petrified volcanic vents. Finally, you hike through a fragrant pine forest to a chapel – a wonderful spot for a rest.

Today, a scenic hike awaits you, culminating in a spectacular descent to La Calera, a hamlet in Valle Gran Rey. After a short transfer to Arure, you'll begin your hike with minimal elevation gain, enjoying magnificent views of the surrounding valleys. Crossing a saddle, you'll reach the highest point of the day, situated on one of the island's largest plateaus. This area was once used for grain cultivation, and the former threshing floor is still well-preserved. After a brief rest, the trail continues gently to the edge of the plateau, where the descent into Valle Gran Rey begins. The path winds down into the valley in seemingly endless switchbacks, offering breathtaking vistas along the way. The journey concludes with a farewell dinner together.

A wonderful week of hiking on La Gomera is coming to an end. You'll take a group transfer to the port of San Sebastián (approx. 1 hour) and then a ferry to Los Cristianos on Tenerife (approx. 1 hour). From there, it's on to Tenerife South Airport (approx. 20 minutes). We would be happy to organize an individual extension of your stay at the group hotel in Valle Gran Rey. The return transfer to Tenerife airport is also included in the price.
