Excursions from Los Cristianos

Los Cristianos is the ferry port for La Gomera and has its own small harbour for boat trips. Most south excursions collect from here too.

TeideSanta CruzCosta AdejePuerto de la CruzLos CristianosPlaya de las AméricasLos Gigantes

The La Gomera ferries leave from Los Cristianos, so you can walk to the port if you go on your own. Our records of the organised day trips do not confirm a hotel pickup inside the town. Compare them on the La Gomera page.

A handful of whale-watching boats are based in Los Cristianos harbour; many more are in Puerto Colón, a short drive away. See the whale-watching page.
