La Palma: Small Group Guided Day Tour from Tenerife + Lunch + Boat Ride

Additional Information & Description

La Palma’s volcanic landscapes take centre stage on this small-group day tour from Tenerife, with a visit to view the crater of Caldera Blanca Volcano. The full-day route combines guided sightseeing with time to explore independently, taking you from the island’s capital to its southwest and through several municipalities along the way.

Cross to La Palma and explore the capital

The journey begins at Puerto de Los Cristianos, where you board the ferry to the port of Santa Cruz de La Palma. The boat ride is included in the tour. On arrival, you have free time in the capital to explore at your own pace before the onward journey. This is the independent part of the itinerary: a chance to choose your own route through Santa Cruz before returning to the guided programme.

Through the tunnel to volcanic terrain

Head towards the Túnel de la Cumbre, known as the “time tunnel,” then continue southwest into the area affected by the Tajogaite Volcano in Cumbre Vieja Natural Park. A stop in the Tacande neighbourhood provides the first sight of Tajogaite. These named stops give the volcanic portion of the day a clear progression, from the tunnel crossing to the affected landscape and the view of the volcano itself.

Lunch by the beach and a final viewpoint

The route continues to the municipality of Tazacorte, where you explore the port and stop for an included lunch in a beachfront restaurant. After this coastal break, the drive takes you through the municipality of El Paso. The final stop is the Mirador de la Iglesia, completing the sightseeing itinerary before the return journey.
