Travelling to La Gomera
La Gomera cannot be reached directly by air from the European mainland. For most holiday-makers the journey therefore begins with a flight to the neighbouring island of Tenerife. Ferries to La Gomera leave from the south of the island.
The journey to La Gomera generally consists of:
- A flight to Tenerife-South, to the airport Reina Sofia (TFS)
- Ferry journey to La Gomera
- Transfer on the island to your destination or accommodation.
If on the other hand, you should land at Los Rodeos Airport (TFN) in Tenerife-North, you have the option of catching a connecting flight to La Gomera.
If time is no issue, then you may want to consider driving to the south of Spain and enjoying a multi-day sail to the island.
