Cosa aspettarsi

Canarians call La Palma ‘la isla bonita' – the beautiful island – which is quite the compliment. It's so enchanting that Rudi, one of our guides, decided to make it his home 40 years ago. ‘I love doing this tour,' he says. ‘It shows you the island's past and present – from one of the world's biggest observatories to Tajogaite, Europe's newest volcano.' Plus, you'll discover wonders such as Roque de los Muchachos and the primeval Caldera de Taburiente.

Your adventure kicks off as you venture up the 2,500m-high Roque de los Muchachos – La Palma's highest peak – passing the domed astronomical observatory on the way. At the top, take in the views over the 8km-wide Caldera de Taburiente, the island's only national park. Ringed by cloud-bursting peaks, this immense bowl is thick with pine forests and waterfalls. Your guide will fill you in on the park's history and how your visit will help conserve its ecosystems.

Next, it's on to Puntagorda – arguably one of the prettiest villages in the Canaries. Nestled between two ravines, rows of pine and almond trees flank cobbled streets that enjoy sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean. Here, you'll have some time to have a poke around the weekly farmer's market, with stalls dedicated to local produce and handicrafts. At El Time viewpoint, there are heart-pounding views over the Angustias gorge. We'll also make our way to Tajuya viewpoint, from where you can observe the scarred, inferno-like slopes of the Tajogaite volcanic cone, formed from an eruption in autumn 2021.

    It would have been better if we could spend at least an hour at each location. Particularly the crater, as it took so long to get there and 30 mins was barely enough to soak the atmosphere in. The guide’s social and political perspectives were also bordering on inappropriate, as a lot of it was gender stereotypes and made some people really quite uncomfortable

    The trip offered some amazing views of the both of the island. The driver did an amazing job on the roads up the volcano and the guides knowledge was extensive. The only two negatives I have are that we were on the coach far more than we were off it, this included driving for an hour across the island to collect other guests then back again. I would also have liked more than just half an hour at the summit and the observatory. This felt a little rushed given how long it took to get there.

    Superb guide. Brilliant opportunity to see a lot of this beautiful island and learn so much about it. Inevitably there is quite a lot of time on the coach and some of the roads are very bendy in order to gain the height, but the views are worth it.

On this full day tour, you'll discover fragrant forests, volcanic rock pools and colonial villages. Then, to round off the experience, you'll sample sweet-as-honey local rum.Kick off this jam-packed excursion at San Bartolo viewpoint – overlooking steep coastal hills and the Atlantic beyond, the views are a showstopper. From here, it's onto the natural sea-water pools of Charco Azul – the ‘blue pools' where, weather permitting, we'll have a quick swim. Then, it's onto the sea-view village of San Andres, a flower-filled cluster of brightly coloured buildings enhanced by all the greenery.Next up, is one of Rudi's favourite parts of the tour. ‘You walk beside tropical banana plantations and find out why they're essential to island life,' he says. Then, after a stroll along the volcanic shoreline of Charco Azul, you'll stop to taste rum at one of the last traditional distilleries in the Canaries.'
