Just Marvellous! - 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

Spectacular - After some obstacles with a sick guide and waiting for the fellow passengers of a ferry we left for a very special trip. A super-enthusiastic guide gave us an explanation of the most recent eruption and formation of a new volcano on this particularly beautiful island. What an impact nature had. The lives of several hundred people were drastically upended. Burying their house under feet of jet-black lava. Some houses that were just spared. The guide who admitted that it provides extra employment for him. The weather that didn't play a role when we wanted to go to the national park. A mass of clouds that then turned the program into an extra tour in Santa Cruz...you notice it a very nice day.

It's a versatile though... - 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.

Lovely holiday in La Palma - 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

Impressive tour with great guide - 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!

Lovely tour - 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.
