La Palma excursions and tours

The La Palma excursions we offer for now are three, all guided in English and Spanish and with free cancellation up to 12 hours before: the guided hike to the Tajogaite volcano (4 hours, over the lava flows of the 2021 eruption), the guided visit to the Cueva de Las Palomas lava tube (2 hours) and the kayak trip to Cueva Bonita (2 hours, on the west coast). Our La Palma catalogue is still small and growing; here is what there is, with duration and conditions.

What to do in La Palma with these tours

What people most want in La Palma since 2021 is the volcano: the guided Tajogaite hike is 4 hours with a guide over the lava flows and cones of the eruption, explaining what happened and how the Aridane valley is recovering. The Cueva de Las Palomas is the other face of volcanism: a lava tube visited with helmet and torch in 2 hours, with a guide. And for the sea, the kayak trip to Cueva Bonita: 2 hours paddling along the west coast to a sea cave you can only reach by water.

How to choose

  • The 2021 volcano: the Tajogaite hike, 4 hours and hiking boots.
  • Short on time or with children: Cueva de Las Palomas, 2 hours and no climbing.
  • Sea and paddling: the kayak to Cueva Bonita, 2 hours in calm seas.
  • All three leave from the west of the island; the exact point is on each listing.

What we do not have (yet)

We do not currently offer coach tours of La Palma, stargazing at Roque de los Muchachos or boat trips. If you are combining islands, there is much more in Tenerife.

Practical information

  • Free cancellation up to 12 hours before on all three.
  • For Tajogaite and the cave: closed shoes, water and a layer; lava is sharp and it is cool inside the tube.
  • The kayak trip runs in calm seas; if not, the operator changes the time or the day.
