Embark on this striking 8-day cruise around the Canary Islands, an island archipelago off the coast of Africa. Highlights include La Gomera Island, the second smallest island of the Archipelago. The whistled speech or silbo gomero is still used by the locals to communicate with each other. Explore Tenerife with its laurel forests dating from the tertiary period, the Giant Cliff's rock formation and the Cave of Wind, a lava tube which is 17 km long - a journey into the earth. Visit the impressive Volcano route in La Palma and the Caldera del Tuburiente National Park. See the white-washed houses of Yiaza and the National Park of Timanfaya - also known as Mountains of Fire - and the wineries producing the white Malvasia wines in Lanzarote.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
