Description

On this 8 day adventure, I would like to guide you on a long, varied hike on not 1, but 2 wonderful islands in the Canary Islands of Spain. those 2 islands are La Gomera and Tenerife.

La Gomera and Tenerife are very different, as the ladder is much larger than the former. However, what these 2 beautiful islands have in common is they will both amaze you and leave you with a plethora of memories that you will be able to look upon for years to come.

We will be hiking every day on this trip, from 3 to 6 hours per day. So participants should be in good enough physical condition to maintain that pace. There will also be some boat rides and drives to take you from one spot to the next. As a result, this trip will show you huge portions of La Gomera and Tenerife.

When it comes to La Gomera, where the majority of the time on this trip will be spent, there are a number of great highlights. Some of those highlights include the Vallahermoso beach, San Sebastian and Agulo. There is also the amazing Garajonay national park, which we will spend an entire day trekking through.

In Tenerife, while we will be spending much less time there, it will be well worth it. Not only will get to enjoy the island’s beautiful flora and fauna, but you will also get to look up at the summit of Spain’s highest summit, the Teide Volcano (3,718m).

Exploring these 2 glorious islands in the Canary islands is an adventure well worth experiencing. If you would like to enjoy it for yourself, just send me a request.

I can also take you on another 8 day hiking adventure on the island of La Palma, also in the Canary Islands.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
