Ferry to La Gomera with your camper
Tenerife offers plenty, but if you have a spare day in your route, crossing to La Gomera is one of the most memorable trips: a complete change of scenery — ravines, laurel forest in Garajonay National Park, villages that seem frozen in time — less than an hour away by boat.
The ferry: quick, with several sailings a day
From Los Cristianos to San Sebastián de La Gomera the crossing takes around 50 minutes, with several daily sailings operated by different ferry companies. Times and prices change according to season, so check the ferry company's website before your trip to confirm the timetable that suits you best.
Can you cross with the camper?
Yes: the ferry companies covering this route accept vehicles, campers included — the vehicle ticket price depends on its length, so confirm this when booking. It's the big advantage of getting around in a camper rather than a hire car: the van crosses with you, so there's no need to leave it parked and arrange other transport on the other side.
What to see in a day in La Gomera
- San Sebastián, the town where the ferry docks, with its historic centre and the port from which Columbus set sail for America.
- Garajonay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site: dense, misty laurel forest, very different from anything you'll see in Tenerife.
- Viewpoints such as Igualero or Roque de Agando, looking out over the island's ravines.
- Charming villages such as Vallehermoso or Agulo, for a relaxed stop to eat before heading back to the ferry.
Before you set off
If you're going to include this trip in your route, choose your camper and your dates in our fleet finder and plan the crossing with plenty of margin: a full day in La Gomera, out and back on the same ferry, gives you plenty of time to enjoy it without rushing.
