Excursion Garajonay national park & surroundings with tapas tasting tour at San Sebastián de la Gomera

Experience an amazing range of sensations on this 5 and a half-hour guided coach tour. Marvel at some of the most spectacular lookouts on the island, visit the charming town of Agulo from where you will enjoy magnificent views of Tenerife and its imposing Teide volcano, listen to the unique Silbo Gomero whistled language, and sample traditional local tapas and liquors of palm tree honey.

Hermigua Lookouts, Agulo, Silbo Gomero & Tapas

Depart the pier for a 40-minute coach ride toward Hermigua lookout to admire the lush subtropical valley sheltering below.

Proceed then to the north of La Gomera to visit the beautiful town of Agulo. Baptized as "the bombón de La Gomera", Agulo is a charming town of cobbled streets and well-renovated and restored story houses. A rural corner full of charm that will leave a delicious memory in your mind.

After a short walk in Agulo, you will enjoy the local gastronomy of La Gomera with a selection of local tapas and a tasting of miel de palma liquor, a honey-like syrup exclusive to La Gomera handmade from syrup extracted from the palm trees which abound in this area while you hear a demonstration of Silbo Gomero, the unique whistled speech indigenous to La Gomera. Developed over centuries by shepherds to communicate across the island's deep ravines and narrow valleys, this UNESCO-listed Intangible Cultural Heritage is the only articulate whistled language in the world still spoken by hundreds of locals.

Los Roques Lookout
