2026 Gomera Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

I took three excursions: Teide for 62 euros, Santa Cruz for 58 euros, and Gomera for 115 euros. The first two ended by 5 PM, while the third lasted until 8:15 PM. For the first two trips, my guide was Arian. She was very diligent and spoke continuously in three languages, but by the end, I was too tired to listen anymore. On the Gomera trip, a woman took my ticket but didn’t speak English. Later, a blonde lady let me board the ferry with my passport instead of a ticket. In Gomera, the guide explained everything thoroughly, which was great. The drivers for all three excursions were incredible, handling very challenging roads with skill—kudos to them. I was satisfied with the sights and the natural environment, but the excursions could have been better organized. No water was provided, except on the Gomera trip where food was included. Overall, they feel overpriced for the services offered.

We have been visiting Hollywood Mirage annually since 1989, which clearly shows how much we enjoy it. Los Cristianos is a lively and ever-improving town. Getting a seaview apartment adds an unmatched charm—sipping a cocktail while watching the sunset over Gomera from the balcony is simply perfect. It’s equally enjoyable to watch the ferries come and go. Hollywood Mirage boasts a charming atmosphere, and the rooms are very well-equipped.

It was a wonderful weekend. This was our second visit this year. The weather was amazing, and we didn’t leave the hotel. Our room had a jacuzzi on the terrace with stunning views of La Gomera. The food was fantastic. We dined at Dos Naifes and loved it; it has one Sol. The service was excellent, making us feel right at home. Felipe and Moha were welcoming at reception, and Pablo took great care of us by the pool. We spent most of our time on the balinese bed, enjoying relaxation and reading. Highly recommended overall.

#2026NewYear My 2026 resolution, made beneath the rocks of Tedeina. Standing before Roque de Agando, one of La Gomera's symbols, I was overwhelmed by the immense majesty of nature. Looking out at this massive volcanic reef, I vowed to have a firm resolve, unshaken by any wind or rain, as I welcomed the New Year of 2026. The numerous trekking trails across the island, each boasting their own charm, made the first steps of the New Year a breeze. It was particularly fascinating to observe the ever-changing vegetation depending on the elevation. From the cactus fields on the coast to the lush forests at the summit, it was amazing how one island could offer such diverse charms. I took each step forward, hoping that my life in 2026 would be as diverse and abundant as this island. For nature lovers, La Gomera is a sacred place. The New Year you spend here will be an unforgettable experience in your life. It will be an unattainable milestone. #2026NewYear

Standing here in La Gomera, I felt so small compared to these massive rugged mountains. The view is raw and untouched, with winding roads cutting through cliffs and valleys that look almost unreal. Hiking here gave me a sense of peace and adventure at the same time. Every turn of the trail surprises you with new landscapes - from sharp rock formations to endless green hills. Tip: The weather can change quickly in the mountains, so always carry a light jacket and enough water. And don't rush — the beauty of La Gomera is best enjoyed slowly #familytrip
