About Us: Local Guides in La Palma

At Vive La Palma Tour Experience we are a local company from La Palma, the Beautiful Island. We were born with a clear idea: to show the island from the inside, through the eyes of those who have lived here all their lives.

Our intention is that travellers who want to experience the island in a real and unfiltered way can do so. To this end, we have a team of young locals who understand that a tour in La Palma is not just an activity or a walk, but an experience that connects with the history, nature and essence of the island.

From there, we have created excursions in La Palma such as the Kayak Tour to Cueva Bonita, starting from Porís de Candelaria.

Much more than a kayak route, it is an experience in which the traveller can discover the socio-economic importance of this enclave (Porís de Candelaria), as well as the human quality of its residents.

We then set off towards Cueva Bonita, where we share stories and legends about pirates and corsairs following the conquest of the Americas, providing a historical context that enriches the experience.

The bravest even take a dip inside the cave.

Whenever sea conditions allow, we can land at a rock pool or natural swimming spot.

We also provide snorkelling goggles so nobody misses out on enjoying the sea.

But above all, what travellers value most is that we run our excursions in La Palma without rushing, at the Palmero pace, allowing you to enjoy everything calmly.

More than a tour, these are experiences that are hard to forget.

We are not just certified guides — we are passionate about our island. We accompany every experience with warmth and professionalism, committed to responsible tourism in La Palma and caring for the environment.

We are people who love this island and want you to experience it the way we feel it every day.
