View on Google MapsNa wat hindernissen met zieke gids en wachten op de medereizigers van een ferry zijn we toch vertrokken voor een heel bijzondere trip. Een superenthousiaste gids gaf ons een uitleg over de meest recente uitbarsting en ontstaan van een nieuwe vulkaan op dit bijzonder mooi eiland. Wat een impact dat de natuur had. Het leven van enkele honderden mensen werd drastisch overhoop gehaald. Hun huis begraven onder meters gitzwarte lava. Enkele huizen die net gespaard bleven. De gids die toegaf dat het voor hem extra werkgelegenheid verschaft. Het weer dat even niet meespeelde toen we naar het nationaal park wilden. Een wolkenmassa die dan het programma veranderde in een extra rondleiding in Santa Cruz…je merkt het een bijzonder fijne dag invulling.
It's a versatile though tight scheduled view around certain parts of the island. You'll experience the busy life of Santa Cruz de la Palma as well as the beautiful landscape and the vulcanic history live and in colour. Beware of tight curvy roads and a dynamic driving experience on the bus.

This was a last minute decision as another excursion had been cancelled. So didn't know what to expect but I'm so glad I did! Our local guide was wonderful (wish i could remember her name) We had a short but real authentic tour around Santa Cruz before the bus journey up into the island, where the enormous impact of living on top a volcanic island can be seen (and no amount of questions phased her). Thank you so much. I can't wait to return
Covered Santa Cruz, vista points on the way to San Pedro, the volcano & lava fields rounded off in the National Park. Excellent narrative from Alphonso.
It is very complete, with the fundamentals of the city, views from the viewpoint of the city, visit to the volcano and the caldera
Surprising Island .The Palm trees very hospitable and friendly. Unusual and varied landscapes. Wonderful weather.
I booked a 14 night through First Choice part of the Tui Group. I flew from Manchester Airport where I was looked after extremely well . On arrival I had a transfer to the 4 star hotel Las Olas 10 to 15 minutes from the hotel. Although there was some air traffic being January there was less than at other times of the year not that I had a problem. The hotel was rated 3 star plus which I think was right. I would recommend to pay a little extra and have a sea view room. I was fortunate to have room on the 2nd floor (English 1st floor) and I took my case up the incline to my room. I don’t think the hotel had any porters. I noticed people struggling to get their cases up the steps to the next floor. It is quite steep and might be an issue for someone with walking difficulties. My accommodation was large with a kitchen and l had a beautiful view of the pool area and the sea. The vast majority of clients were 60 plus and I estimated around 80 % German . Pleasant outside area 2 adult pools one slightly heated and a children’s pool. Bar and restaurant were okay. Food I found to be average and not hot. The island is fantastic and Santa Cruz the capital quite beautiful.Beaches are black sand and the first one 15 minutes walk from the hotel. Close to the hotel are a couple of supermarkets and restaurants and bars
The confirmation mentioned 2 meeting points, which was very confusing and annoying. 1st point we were well in time, but no one saw a guide at that time. Then ran to other point (10 min further) no one either. Eventually 2 x have to call to contact and time passed. Had to go to 1st point again. At lunch there was only a choice of fish or pork. No alternative without paying extra. Furthermore fantastic and impressive tour with committed and experienced guide! Very good!
One day was insufficient to see something of the Palm, an excellent guide, Roxi, good weather and taken full advantage, we will return, we are left wanting, but one day does not give for more than what we did that was much and taken advantage of
Lovely tour showing Santa Cruz from high above and then around lava fields and southern part of the island. Tour had two starting points harbour and the city. Different starting time should be informed to the city. Now there was useless half an hour waiting time in the city for no reason.
