San Sebastián de la Gomera Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Boat

A fun and fast alternative to tackling the hairpin curves of La Gomera’s highways is the water taxi operated by Garajonay Exprés (902 34 34 50; www.garajonayexpres.com), which takes you to Playa Santiago (€2.50, 15 minutes, three daily) and Valle Gran Rey (€3.50, 40 minutes, three daily) quickly. The trip between San Sebastián and Playa Santiago takes 45 minutes by car, while the trip to Valle Gran Rey is 1¼ hours, so water taxi is definitely the faster option.
