Mother Nature had a field day with La Palma. All rolling mountains, plunging valleys and sweet-smelling pine forests, the little island certainly isn’t short on breathtaking scenery. Things are just as good looking along the coast, where dramatic black-sand beaches give way to hidden coves. Another great thing about the island is its relaxed, laid-back vibe. It offers up a more authentic picture of the Canaries than its bigger neighbours – one of quaint whitewashed houses, grand colonial buildings and sleepy squares. It’s no wonder the locals call it La Isla Bonita – the beautiful island.
- Discover La Palma’s volcanic past with a trip to La Caldera de Taburiente National Park. This enormous National Park is actually a volcanic crater. With a circumference of 28km, it’s the biggest in the world. And the spectacular scenery doesn’t stop there. The park is also crammed full of towering pine trees. Plus, it’s home to over 25 different species of birds.
- Hurtle over La Palma’s rugged terrain on a quad bike - it’s a great way to explore the island and discover what lies off the well-trodden path. You’ll tackle dirt tracks and whiz past banana plantations, taking in views of the coast on the way.
- Hike through the protected tropical rainforest of Los Tilos. It’s completely unspoiled, crammed with caves, springs, lime trees and giant ferns. Keep an eye out, too, for wildlife that’s unique to this corner of the world, such as the Maculada de Canarias butterfly.

Santa Cruz de La Palma Sightseeing by Trolley Train
The Canary Islands are so famous for their volcanic landscapes and sweeping countryside, their towns and villages often get overlooked. Not today, though, as we’ll take you to explore one of the isles’ most picturesque towns, Santa Cruz de La Palma. You’ll chug through La Palma’s capital in a trolley train. La Palma's part of Spain that’s retained its traditional side. Instead of commercial pubs and restaurants, you’ll encounter cottages and cobbles, sunny squares and flower-wrapped wooden balconies. There’ll be a guide with you, and they’ll point out the churches, statues and museums that tell the story of the town. The train will slow in all the right places, too, so you can snap pictures of the best bits.
