San Sebastián de la Gomera is easily accessible despite its remote island location. The city is connected to Tenerife by a frequent ferry service, making it possible for travelers to fly into Tenerife’s international airports (Tenerife North and Tenerife South) and take a short boat ride to the island. The ferry takes approximately 50 minutes, offering scenic views of both islands along the way.
For those arriving by sea, San Sebastián also has a port that accommodates both passenger ferries and private yachts. Once in the city, getting around is fairly straightforward. The city is compact and walkable, with most attractions and amenities located within a short distance. Public transportation on the island includes buses that connect San Sebastián to other towns and attractions around La Gomera.
Car rentals are also available for visitors who wish to explore the island at their own pace. With well-maintained roads and stunning landscapes, driving through the island is a popular option for tourists wanting to reach more remote areas.
