What changes from one option to another

La Palma in a single day

It is a long day, with many hours between ferry and bus. It is worth it if you are interested in the Tajogaite volcano and the Caldera de Taburiente, but plan to sit down and rest between legs.

La Gomera as a shorter alternative

The trip from the south lasts 9 to 12 h, with hotel pickup and a ferry of about 35 to 50 minutes. It swaps the volcano for the Garajonay laurel forest.
