La Palma & Tajogaite Volcano Day Trip
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 2.5 hours on the boat, we'll arrive in Santa Cruz de La Palma, where we'll take a guided tour to see its colonial houses. Afterwards, we'll go to the interior of the island to visit the Mirador de la Cumbrecita, in the Caldera de Taburiente National Park.
Afterwards, we'll stop in El Paso for you to grab a bite to eat. After lunch, we'll see how the vegetation of the island changes as we approach the Tajogaite volcano, the ancient volcano of 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
