I went over for the day in February 2011 and really enjoyed it...a really beautiful place.
I might go over for a couple of nights when I'm in Tenerife next February.

CC, can u get a ferry other than in Los Cris? Also, can you bring your car with you or is the Los Cris ferry, passenger only?

Yep, you can take your car as well D, but it could be pricey...

LR is right if it's a hire car it could be pricey because they don´t like you taking them. It is about €100 return for 2 non-residents (no car) about €140 2 non-residents plus a car or go with a resident who has a car and then it would only cost you €140 return for 4 people and no worries about insurance. LOL Just another little perk

Thanks Cam, it still makes it over 230 euro for the 5 of us. Prohibitively expensive, don't know if we can stretch to that.

Better off going on an organised excursion, it will cost somewhere around €40 adults and less for kids

Had a look at Sunshine excursions Gypsy. They don't seem to have any. Are there any others?
Has Fred Olsen got a monopoly on ferry services between the 2 islands? Just looking at the price difference between ferries here to the Aran Islands ( same distance @ 20km ). Family of 5 in Tenerife = 231 euro. Family of 5 in Ireland = 68.40. That must be a first, somewhere that is dearer than Ireland!!

It's quite a bit dearer than when I was last there there is this one http://www.tenerife-direct.com/#la-gomera and this one http://www.tenerife-excursions.co.uk/Gomera.htm
Vanessa/Ket also do it, just checked http://tenerifesunshine.com/en/Excursions its under coach excursions. Don´t forget go on line and talk to one of the girls in the office and ask if they still give you a discount for being on Tripadvisor they used to give 10%.

Why am I never taken serious, 3rd obviously had an issue with budget, so I come up with a financially viable alternative, and I’m sure if he was patient and waited to get a window seat he would almost be able see the place, all for a couple of Euros.
V, know how you feel... It’s enough to almost make you pack your bags and move on... Mmmm, I hear La Gomeras nice, anyone ever been there.......................
