Eilandhoppen Tenerife En La Gomera

About the destination: Tenerife, the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, is a sun-drenched destination where volcanic landscapes meet lush forests and golden (and even black) sand beaches. Dominated by the impressive Mount Teide—Spain’s highest peak and the centerpiece of Teide National Park—this island offers some of the most dramatic scenery in Europe. Whether you’re seeking relaxation by the sea, high-altitude hiking, or star-filled night skies, Tenerife delivers a surprisingly diverse experience packed into a relatively small island. Beach lovers can choose between the lively resort areas of the south—such as Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje—with their wide range of hotels, restaurants, and nightlife, or the quieter, more local stretches of coastline around El Médano and the north. The waters are ideal for swimming most of the year, and the island is a prime spot for whale and dolphin watching, with boat trips departing daily from ports like Los Cristianos and Puerto Colón. Surfing, windsurfing, and snorkeling are also popular, thanks to consistent Atlantic swells and clear waters. Away from the coast, Tenerife reveals a rich cultural side. The capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, blends modern architecture, museums, and parks with a vibrant port atmosphere, while nearby San Cristóbal de La Laguna—UNESCO World Heritage Site—charms visitors with its colonial streets, colorful facades, and lively cafés. Traditional towns like La Orotava and Garachico showcase historic mansions, cobbled streets, and intimate squares, offering a glimpse into the island’s past. Local cuisine, from fresh fish and “papas arrugadas” with spicy “mojo” sauces to Canarian wines, completes the experience. Outdoor enthusiasts will find ample opportunities for adventure. Teide National Park offers well-marked trails across lava fields and viewpoints accessible by road or cable car, with guided tours available for sunrise or sunset visits. The Anaga Rural Park, in the island’s northeast, is a green paradise of laurel forests and ridge-top paths with spectacular ocean views. Whether you’re traveling as a family, a couple, or solo, Tenerife’s mix of nature, culture, and year-round mild climate makes it an ideal island getaway.

About the destination: La Gomera is the second smallest island of the Canary Islands. Garajonay National Park, the jewel of the Canaries natural heritage, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. It has one of the best kept secrets of the islands. The forest of "El Cedro" is a true relic of the Tertiary and world reserve for the conservation of laurel. Thanks to the action of the sea of clouds (horizontal rain) the vegetation is very thick and we can find faille, heather, laurel and ferns. It is also being full of trails to hike, where we can learn firsthand of all the secrets of this ancient forest. In addition to Garajonay National Park, representing 33.3% of the total area of the island, La Gomera has 16 protected natural areas. La Gomera is an ideal touristic place to enjoy the beautiful landscape and the wonderful beaches, and the tropic climate during all the year.
