Witness a volcanic eruption happening before your eyes on our La Palma & Tajogaite Volcano Day Trip. We'll set off from Tenerife to see the lava flows and smoke plumes produced by this volcanic eruption, which began on 19 September 2021, from a safe distance.
50% of the profits from this activity will be donated to the municipalities most affected by the volcano through the Cabildo de La Palma.
La Palma & Tajogaite Volcano Day Trip
At the scheduled time, we'll see you at the Port of Los Cristianos in South Tenerife. We'll board a ferry and set sail for the island of La Palma to get a close-up view of the most recent volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands, the Tajogaite eruption.
After two and a half hours on the boat, we'll arrive in Santa Cruz de La Palma and you'll have half an hour of free time to explore the old town on your own. Afterwards, we'll get on a bus that will take us to the Mirador de la Concepción, located in the highest part of the Caldera volcano, where we'll get breathtaking views of the capital of the island.
From here we'll head over to the Time Tunnel. During the trip, we'll see how the vegetation of the island changes as we get closer and closer to the Tajogaite volcano, which used to be known as Cumbre Vieja. We'll talk about volcanology and explain how the Canary Islands were formed. We'll learn about how locals lived the fateful Teneguía eruption in 1971 on the island of La Palma.
We'll visit the Tacande neighborhood, where we'll get an unbeatable view of the volcano. The excursion will also take us to Tazacorte, where we'll see the lava flows that emerge from the Tajogaite volcano.
In Tazacorte we'll enjoy a delicious lunch. The menu will consist of two typical Canarian dishes. Once we've replenished our strength, it'll be time for a visit to the Mirador de Tajuya to see the majestic volcano for the last time.
Finally, we'll return to Santa Cruz de La Palma and finish the tour by boarding the ferry that will take us back to Tenerife, where we'll arrive at approximately 7:30 pm.

Frequently asked questions
-
Q - And what if some areas of the island are closed to traffic or tourism?
A - The tour is subject to change due to the volcano's activity. The visit to the Cumbrecita viewpoint or other points of the tour could be affected and replaced with other locations.
-
Q - Will we be able to see the lava of the volcano?
A - Being a variable geological process, the visibility of lava will depend on the state of the volcano. Sometimes you'll be able to see rivers of magma and, other times, you'll see columns of smoke and ash, depending on the volcanic activity at the time of the excursion.
