La Gomera day trip from Tenerife by jeep: prices and meeting points
A La Gomera day trip from Tenerife by jeep fits a ferry crossing, Garajonay National Park by 4x4, island villages and local food into one day. Two jeep safaris on this site make the trip: one meets at 08:20 in Costa Adeje in the south, the other at 07:00 in Puerto de la Cruz in the north. Here is what each costs, how the day runs and which one to book.
Quick answer
The short answer. Our top pick for a La Gomera day trip from Tenerife is the south departure at $168 per person: 577 reviews at 4.6, an 08:20 start at a car park in Costa Adeje, the morning ferry to San Sebastián de la Gomera, Garajonay National Park by 4x4 and a traditional lunch. Staying in the north? The Puerto de la Cruz departure costs $185, starts at 07:00 and runs 13 hours. On either, bring your original ID card or passport for the ferry.

How the day runs
From the meeting point to the ferry and across
An early start, a sea crossing each way and the jeeps in between.
The south start. On the Arona listing you meet at 08:20 at a car park in Costa Adeje. Philip from the United Kingdom noticed how the morning works there: the drivers are briefed and guests are split into groups by nationality. Then comes the morning sailing to San Sebastián de la Gomera. A Tenerife to La Gomera day trip from the south is listed simply as one day, with no hour count.
The north start. The Puerto de la Cruz departure meets at 07:00 and runs 13 hours. The ship leaves from the south of Tenerife, so this La Gomera day trip from Tenerife opens with a drive down the island. Anna from the Czech Republic: «it’s about 1:15 hr drive to the South from Puerto de la Cruz; there is a coffee stop before heading for the ferry. The ride to La Gomera is 50 min».
On the island. Each La Gomera jeep safari tour from Tenerife on this site then follows the same outline: Garajonay National Park, villages, the island’s whistled language and local food. Bronia from the United Kingdom, on the north departure, sets expectations honestly: «There is no real off road experience although some of the drive is exciting up narrow roads and through small towns».
On La Gomera
Cliff edges and rock towers across the island
Two frames from the island the jeeps drive across on a La Gomera day trip from Tenerife.
Out over the sea
A glass-walled platform juts from the cliff edge, the sea far below and three people at the rail.
A tower of bare rock
Grey rock, streaked and split from top to bottom, rises into a clear sky above green scrub.
What you see
Garajonay, the whistled language and lunch
Four things reviewers write about, in their own words.
Garajonay National Park. It is on the route of both days; on the south departure you cross it in a 4x4. Anna from the Czech Republic: «The walk in laurel forest was short but very beautiful, it’s a unique forest.»
The whistled language. The Arona listing names it, and reviewers on both days heard it. Jeff from the United Kingdom: «Lovely meal in a picturesque restaurant with friendly staff, one of whom demonstrated the local whistling language.»
Lunch. The south listing says you will «enjoy a traditional lunch»; the north one promises «time to enjoy the taste of local foods». Neither says outright whether the meal is in the price, so check the listing before you pay. Marian from Ireland: «We were really impressed with lunch which was very nice and plenty of water and wine on the tables.»
A jeep, not a coach. On a La Gomera day trip from Tenerife the ride itself is part of the day. Nicky from the United Kingdom: «this tour was definitely preferable to a coach trip!»
Before you book
Five things to check before you pay
Two minutes on the listing now saves a wasted morning at the ferry on your La Gomera day trip from Tenerife.
- Your original ID card or passport
Both listings say it is compulsory for the ferry. Not a photo, not a copy: bring the document itself.
- Which start suits where you stay
A Tenerife to Gomera day trip from the north means a 07:00 start in Puerto de la Cruz; from the south, 08:20 in Costa Adeje.
- What the price covers
Both are priced per person. The listings describe lunch and local food but do not say whether the meal is in the price.
- A long day
Thirteen hours on the north departure. Pack water, a layer and something to read on the crossing.
- Cancellation
Both list free cancellation. Read the deadline on the listing before you book.
Gomera or Tenerife
Four jeep days compared: La Gomera or Teide
If a day at sea feels like too much, two jeep safaris stay on Tenerife and meet in Costa Adeje. Here is how they stack up against a La Gomera day trip from Tenerife.
| Jeep day | Price | Length | Meets | Route | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| La Gomera from the south, our top pick | $168 | 1 day | 08:20, Costa Adeje | Ferry, Garajonay National Park by 4x4, villages, lunch | 4.6 · 577 |
| La Gomera from the north | $185 | 13 hours | 07:00, Puerto de la Cruz | Ferry, Garajonay National Park, villages, local food | 4.5 · 193 |
| Teide, full day | $76 | 7 hours | 08:20, Costa Adeje | Teide National Park, Vilaflor, Masca; meal at your own expense | 4.6 · 1,178 |
| Teide, half day | $68 | 5 hours | Morning, Costa Adeje | Arona, Vilaflor, Teide National Park; back by about 1 pm | 4.6 · 73 |
The cheaper alternative
When a day on Tenerife beats the crossing
Half the price, no ferry, and Teide instead of Garajonay.
A full-day Tenerife jeep tour costs $76 per person for 7 hours: Teide National Park, Vilaflor and Masca by 4WD, with a restaurant stop where the meal is at your own expense. 1,178 reviews rate it 4.6. Kirsty from the United Kingdom: «There was plenty of time between each stop of the day without feeling rushed or bored.»
The half-day jeep safari at $68 per person covers Arona, Vilaflor and Teide National Park in 5 hours and has you back by about 1 pm; 73 reviews rate it 4.6. Neither of them crosses the sea. What they cannot give you is a second island in a day, and that is why a La Gomera day trip from Tenerife sits at the top of our list.
Staying on Tenerife
Masca and Teide, from the Tenerife jeep days
Two frames from the full-day jeep route that stays on Tenerife.
Down to the sea at Masca
Dark ridges close in on both sides and open onto a strip of sea. Masca is on the full-day Teide route.
Teide National Park
Bare grey slopes against a cloudless sky. Both Tenerife jeep days drive into Teide National Park.
Our verdict
Which La Gomera tour from Tenerife to book
Book the south departure. At $168 per person it costs $17 less than the north one, starts at a gentler 08:20 and carries 577 reviews at 4.6. As a La Gomera day trip from Tenerife it covers what matters: the ferry, Garajonay National Park by 4x4, villages, the whistled language and a traditional lunch.
Staying in the north: the Puerto de la Cruz departure at $185, a 07:00 start and 13 hours, 193 reviews at 4.5. Rather stay on Tenerife: the Teide full day at $76 per person.
Not ready for a whole day on the road? Prices on this site start at $53 per person, for an hour on a jet ski from Puerto Colón.
