The trip takes about three hours every way, on the way we´ll enjoy of sailing and watching whales and dolphins, is a unforgettable experience.
One of the most interesting things to discover the protected natural monument of the organs has an area of over 150 hectares. Organs is possibly the best basalt formation that we can find on the island of La Gomera, because in it we see a dramatic cliff that begins at sea level and reaches almost 700 meters. In this sea cliff erosion has formed a kind of long tubes grouped around the cliff giving it the name of the organs.
To get a good view of the natural monument of the organs of La Gomera we do it from the sea, it is not possible to see from the ground.

If you choose this tour, while enjoying a wonderful day at sea, you'll take the opportunity to visit the fantastic Garajonay National Park declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the highest recognition that can reach a protected natural area.
Garajonay National Park is named after the legend of two lovers, Gara, Princess of La Gomera and Jonay, from Tenerife. The two lovers faced the disapproval of their love from their family, and decided to kill themselves by sticking a wooden spear and jump from the highest peak of the island.
"Garajonay" consists of a dense forest made up of different plant species, often surrounded by a sea of clouds that gives the forest a magical aspect. These fogs, are intercepted by the forest itself, producing a moisture load which is essential for the survival of a green territory located in an arid island. These type of forests are classified as “laurisilva” forests or “evergreen laurel”, which means a forest of laurels, since most of its component tree species have leaves similar to the laurel. Their existence is possible thanks to the high humidity and the mild temperatures, accompanied by little fluctuations during the year.
