Tour itinerary
Day 1
(Hotel Torre Del Conde / San Sebastian de la Gomera)
You need to arrive at Tenerife South on the Saturday pre tour before 17hrs.
You’ll be given clear directions of how to get from the airport to Los Cristianos where you’ll be met and shown where to leave your bags pre crossing (if early) and where to meet for the ferry.
One unique ferry crossing at 19hrs from Los Cristianos to San Sebastian de la Gomera will take the whole group the 50mins journey across the water to our first hotel. It’s a 10 minute walk from the boat to the hotel front door. Dinner included.
Day 2
“Circular walk from Hermigua via La Caleta” (Apts Telares / Hermigua)
After breakfast we’ll use the big supermarket in the capital to buy our own basic supplies for our apartments which contain a fridge, kettle and have basic cooking facilities. We’ll then be taken with our baggage and shopping to Hermigua village, 30 mins away.
By way of exploring the valley and familiarising ourselves with Hermigua , our first walk will take us down to the coast and then up into the hills beyond Santa Catalina beach (3.5/4hrs walking) Dinner included.
Day 3
“Cumbre Chijere” (Apts Telares / Hermigua)
To the north of Hermigua lies Vallehermoso and some superb scenery. (Walking 4.5hrs approx)
Day 4
“Valle Gran Rey – Arure” (La Merica Ridge) (Apts Telares / Hermigua)
Wonderful chunk of rock with a big broad back to walk along and admire the landscape for miles, with the island of El Hierro in view. (Walking 4hrs approx) Dinner included.
Day 5
Rest Day! (Apts Telares / Hermigua)
The temptation to go out and discover more is up to you and an excursion:
cultural, walking or simply by the sea will be offered at additional cost.
Day 6
“La Laja / Roques Circuit”. (Hotel Torre Del Conde / San Sebastian de la Gomera)
This was the walk I wanted to do the first time I explored the island by car.
The Roque de Agando points skywards near the centre of the island and is a massive feature for lovers of high mountain scenery. Today’s walk is circular, passing the hamlet of Laja with some breathtaking terrain. (Walking 4hrs approx) Dinner included.
Day 7
“Hermigua – Agulo Circular” (Apts Telares / Hermigua)
After breakfast we walk directly from base up the steep sides of the valley in the direction of nearby Agulo. We take time to stop at the visitors centre before heading out to one of the most stunning viewpoints anywhere. Our path winds down into the very well kept village below via the GR131 and after a break we push on to Hermigua where transport will take us south for our last night in the capital.
(Walking 6hrs approx). Dinner included.
Day 8
Departure day! Ferry crossing (50 mins approx ) departs Gomera at a time between 07.30 and 09.00 back to Tenerife.
