Escape Tenerife for a day to explore La Palma's dramatic volcanic landscapes on this comprehensive guided tour. You'll travel by ferry across to the neighbouring island, then discover everything from historic Santa Cruz de La Palma to the recent Tajogaite volcano site in Cumbre Vieja Natural Park.

This small-group tour covers La Palma's highlights in a single day, including the atmospheric Túnel de la Cumbre, coastal Tazacorte with its black sand beaches, and the scenic viewpoint at Mirador de la Iglesia. Your expert guide shares insights about the island's volcanic activity, including the 2021 eruption that created new land formations.

The tour includes ferry transfers between islands, a beachfront lunch in Tazacorte featuring Canarian specialities, and free time to explore Santa Cruz de La Palma's cobblestone streets and historic architecture independently.
