The adventure

Sun, sea, and trails that will blow your hiking boots off — this Canary Islands escape has it all. Spend seven dreamy days sailing aboard a sleek 17m (57 ft) yacht, swimming in turquoise waters, and learning the ropes of life at sea. Then swap sails for trails on Tenerife, where you’ll hike lush forests, wander volcanic landscapes, sip local wine, and soak up island paradise. Adventure never looked this relaxing.

Arrive to the boat at 4pm for a welcome meeting and safety briefing. Settle into your cabins before heading ashore to pick up supplies for your upcoming adventure.

Set off on your first day of sailing from the island of Tenerife to La Gomera Island. Arrive to San Sebastian La Gomera in the afternoon and explore inland on the island and the national park.

With a long day at sea, try your hand at sailing or relax on deck. Arrive in Santa Cruz de la Palma in the early evening where you can begin to explore its variety of bars and cafés.
