Top La Palma Outdoor Activities

Discover how we grow Canary Island bananas sustainably, without chemicals and in harmony with nature. At Platanológico, we show you a logical and agroecological way of producing nutritious food on a living farm that withstood the volcanic eruption of 2021. Every Thursday at 10:30 a.m., we invite you to a guided tour of your farm in Puerto Naos. You'll learn about the pure genius of natural ecosystem as witnessed on your finca, the fascinating matriarchy of banana trees, the importance of good production for good nutrition, and how we coexist with volcanoes. The experience lasts between 90 and 120 minutes. There's not much walking, and there's shade and places to sit while we share our knowledge. At the end, we enjoy a cup of solar tea together. An intimate, educational, and lively visit. We look forward to seeing you!

La Palma has some of the darkest skies in the Northern Hemisphere, but the best of it sits high on Roque de los Muchachos, hard to reach on your own after dark. Head up the mountain on a private stargazing tour beside La Palma's professional observatories, where a starlight guide points out planets, nebulae, and galaxies through a deep-sky telescope.

Step aboard the “Fancy II” for a dolphin and whale cruise around the northern shores of La Palma. With a professional crew, you’ll improve your chances of seeing the cetaceans out at sea and discover the coastline, too. In just a few hours, you’ll see the grottos of Cueva Bonita and Cueva Candelaria along with the sands of Playa de La Veta.

The observing spot will be a dark sky located in a beautiful mountain region of La Palma island, the first world Starlight Reserve, which hosts some of the largest world telescopes in the astronomical observatory "Roque de los Muchachos". Have fun during 2 hours, ask questions and receive educated answers and assistance from your astronomy guide, aformer professional astronomer whose life has been driven throughout the world by his passion for astronomy, assisted by his powerful telescope and binoculars.

Live an unforgettable experience paddling at sunset along the spectacular west coast of La Palma. This kayaking tour starts from the magical Porís de Candelaria to the impressive Cueva Bonita, one of the most emblematic and surprising places in the Canary Islands, accessible only by sea. The adventure begins in the Porís de Candelaria, a unique corner where ancient fishermen’s houses are hidden under a huge cave by the ocean. After a brief explanation of kayaking safety and management, we will begin the journey by skirting volcanic cliffs and crystal clear waters as the sun begins to fall over the Atlantic. During the route you will enjoy a calm and special atmosphere, with the sky tinged with golden, orange and red tones that reflect on the sea. The contrast between Tijarafe’s volcanic coast and the sunset light makes this experience one of the most magical moments you can experience in La Palma.

Los Llanos de Aridane becomes the crime scene in this self-guided detective game, where the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets around you. The case is the murder of Balthasar, and the evidence is scattered across the old centre - past Plaza de España, Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, Parque Antonio Gómez Felipe and Museo Benahoarita. You decode messages, photograph what does not add up and press digital witnesses whose stories never quite line up. Every puzzle you crack removes a name from the list of suspects. Play as a couple, bring the children along, or send two or three teams out at the same time and turn the investigation into a race - which is what makes this murder mystery game work as well for a team outing as for a day out. The last answer is waiting somewhere in the centre of Los Llanos de Aridane.

The excursions are organized routes, designed to see the most interesting points of the west coast of the island. As they are, the Pretty Cave, the Barranco del Jurado, El Porís de Candelaria, the beach of La Veta, the Colorada cave and the port of Puntagorda. Then we will sail in search of any type of cetacean that swims through our waters, and finally we would also see the new fajanas of the new volcano. Duration: approximately 2 hours. Capacity: 11 passengers. Departure and arrival: Port of Tazacorte.
