Activities in La Gomera

Dehesa de Majona
North of town, on the TF-711 highway, is an interesting bike trail leading into the Dehesa de Majona, the largely uninhabited pastureland to the north of the capital. The dirt track begins near a lookout point, venturing towards the goat-herding villages of Casas de Enchereda and Casas de Juel before winding its way towards the coast and eventually joining up with sealed local roads near Hermigua. The lonely route can be hiked in about eight hours (one way).

Club de Mar
To learn more about whales and dolphins, contact the Club de Mar. This is both a marine-life investigation centre and a whale-watching outfitter with daily cruises that normally include the presence of a marine biologist, so that you can truly learn something about local marine life. All the cruises set sail from the Vueltas port.

Chinea Morales
In Playa Santiago itself, splashing in the waves, rambling along the rocky shore and marvelling over the peaceful ocean view will likely take up most of your time. To get out on the water, you can hop on a cruise boat. Tour companies include Chinea Morales. Most trips include lunch and a swim.

Tina
The motorboat Tina cruises daily around the south and west of the island, towards Los Órganos, a weird rock formation visible only from the water. The day-long trip could include some spontaneous whale or dolphin watching, as well as a little tuna fishing.

Volcanic Beach
The sandy Volcanic Beach is a nice place to relax and have a swim. It's also the site of some of the town's liveliest festivals, such as El Día de San Juan (St John's Day), when the beach is lined with bonfires.

Playa de la Cueva
Past the port, and accessible via a small tunnel, is the smaller and prettier, though often windy, Playa de la Cueva . On a clear day, Tenerife seems like it's within spitting distance!
