About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- johngW6443VA0 contributionsThorough tour.Very good tour of the main points worth seeing. Manolo was very attentive and helpful and covered a lot of the island. His lack of English was made up for by his enthusiastic attempts to explain his beautiful and extraordinary island.Written 10 December 2024
- nicdigby0 contributionsExcellent bespoke tour for disabled travellersAs a disabled traveller, getting around can be difficult. This company was great in providing me with a bespoke day tour of La Palma which suited my needs - and was accessible. The driver, Manolo, was careful with my mobility scooter and helped me on and out of the car each time. He didn’t speak great English but we still had fun. Unfortunately his clutch cable suddenly broke when we were in the National Park. We had no phone reception and he couldn’t use any gears. However he calmly sorted it out and when we managed to coast to an area with phone reception, his boss said he was on his way to pick us up. We waited about 35 minutes which was excellent given how rural we were. His boss Antonio then completed the trip and got us back to the ship just half an hour later than planned. We had an excellent day despite the mishap (which could not have been predicted) and were very impressed with how they sorted out the issue. I would recommend this taxi company to anyone who wants a day tour of La Palma island, especially disabled travellers who travel with a wheelchair or mobility scooter; the care was great, and the price for the whole trip was cheaper than booking the cruise ship’s excursions .Written 26 July 2024
- Marek790 contributionsSuperb tourSuperb tour, worth every euro. We were flying from Tenerife and Jose Antonio was waiting for us at La Palma airport. After the tour he escorted us to the airport, right on time for our flight back to Tenerife. La Palma is very beautiful island. We saw the new volcano and lava fields. We had a time to walk in the Caldera de Taburiente, stunning area, very green. I think that there is no place like that on other Canary islands. We also do some small sightseeing in Puerto de Tazacorte and Santa Cruz.Written 13 January 2024
- Nosweat650 contributionsA great Way to Experience La PalmaMy wife and I were looking to get the most out of our single day port-of-call on the island of La Palma. We chose to take our chances on a private taxi tour strangely named the "Downtown Route" We still don't know what that name implies, but it turned out to be an outstanding tour of this Canary Island. Our driver did not speak very good English, but that was fine. He was able to explain just enough so we understood where he was taking us and he took us to some fabulous places. We visited beautiful beaches in some isolated spots, we visited a lovely National Park high in the mountains, we stopped at great overlooks but , to us, the highlight of the tour was our visit to an almost brand-new (two years old) volcano.We were unhurried wherever the tour took us. In short, this turned out to be an outstanding way to get the most out of our relatively short time on this beautiful island. We highly recommend the "Downtown Route."Written 30 April 2023
- 569catherine0 contributionsFirst class service, fabulous tour.Highly recommend this company. I emailed and said roughly how long we wanted to be away from the hotel and what we wanted to see. Our driver Carlos was just lovely. He was a very safe driver, spoke good English and showed us some amazing places. He collected us from Faro Cumplida and drove us to the site of the latest volcanic eruption stopping at beautiful viewpoints and interesting places along the way. Nothing was too much trouble and it was a pleasure to spend a day with him.Written 5 January 2023

Thank you so much Pablo.We will meet again.Lars & GunillaWritten 28 October 2022
- Michelle_OBsOutdoors0 contributionsA 5 star service to explore the beautiful island of La PalmaWe stayed in the beautiful island of La Palma for a week and Jose took us to the start point of our 5 hikes and collected us at the end. Our routes included Pico de la Nieve, Roque de las Muchachos, Los Canarious and Pico Bejenado. We couldn't have asked for a better driver than Jose, he was punctual, kind and patient. His love for the island shines through, and we felt in really safe hands. Jose was very flexible and even if he couldn't pick us up himself due to other bookings, he easily arranged with Manolo to take us at the time we wanted, who was also excellent. We have absolutely fallen in love with La Palma, and we will absolutely return to do more hiking, and when we do we will not hesitate to use taxi La Palma Isla Bonita again, and hopefully have Jose as our driver.Written 4 June 2022
- iancC147BF0 contributionsExcellent tourManolo greeted us at the ships gangplank. Manolo was very knowledgeable of the island, obviously had a lot of local friends and strived to show us the important parts of the island including the devastation of volcanic lava flows. He arranged for us to have a film shown in English at the national park centre. A great experience for both of us. Thank Manolo.Written 7 April 2022
- AuntieSue C0 contributionsA Memorable DayWe are an English speaking couple in our 60s. I speak Spanish at intermediate level. José Antonio was our charming driver who led our 6 hour trip. We felt safe at all times, he found us great places for coffee and lunch. We wanted to see the after-effects of the recent volcanic eruptions and despite the fact that access was limited he took us to the best viewpoints and told us about living on La Palma and the impact / consequences of the volcano. José Antonio lent us binoculars and collected some volcanic ash for us to have a souvenir, he explained things to me in Spanish. We also saw el Mirador de La Concepción, El Santuario de Las Nieves, Cumbre Vieja visitor centre, La Cumbrecita en el Parque Nacional, Many different views of the volcano and the point where the lava flowed into the sea. Highly recommended.Written 3 February 2022
- jamielX6357UN0 contributionsBest taxi driver ever <3José is the best taxi driver you can imagine ❤️. We were in danger and he was the only one who wanted to save our lives! He drove more than 4 hours for us. We know no other taxi driver wanted to save us, but Jose did! Because of him we felt really save. He is also a very nice and kind person to talk to. We hope to see him once again. 100% would recommend! Xx Britt and JamieWritten 30 January 2022

- sabinebueker0 contributionsA most wonderful dayFrom E-Mail contact and confirmation to pick-up at the cruise terminal, driving to the most spectacular views and taking care of us - it was a terrific day. Our driver Manolo picked us up in time with a sign showing our names. He brought us back in time to the cruise ship terminal. In between was a most wonderful day: we saw the beauty of the island, got lots of information and enjoyed the day with Manolo. It was worth the money we spent. Thank you so much!!!!Written 9 March 2020

The views and scenery were amazing. The pickup was close to the ship and very punctual. The driver could hardly speak any English but this actually added to the charm. He was a lovely chap, we never felt rushed and he had a lot of knowledge about the Island

In just a day José Antonio showed us around the island visiting places we wouldn’t have found ourselves. We were a bit unlucky with the weather since the volcano’s peaks were in the clouds, but he made it up with other interesting places to enjoy. The lunch in a wine grotto was delicious. What José might lack in fluent English is made up by his enthusiasm, friendliness and knowledge of the island.

Thank you so much for your opinion. It is usually a good weather and we try to look for alternatives when the weather does not go with it. I'm glad you finally liked the places we visited and the food.

This was a really interesting tour which took us round the whole centre and south of the island, taking in all the important sights. Our driver José was wonderful - very friendly, informative and safe. Communication in advance was very good and we were picked up on time and returned to the hotel on time but we never felt rushed - a really well planned trip. We were given as much time as we wanted at stops to look around, go for a walk or have lunch. José was clearly committed to ensuring that we enjoyed our tour and also included some additional stops in consultation with us e.g. to an especially interesting church and to learn about banana cultivation. While there were information boards in English at all the major stops which my husband could read, but when José discovered that I was learning Spanish he explained the points of interest to me in Spanish and answered all my questions so I had a fantastic day of language practice as well as a wonderful tour!

We were two couples and had a great day out at our own pace. I had a broken leg so was moving slowly in the wheelchair, but José went the extra mile to help and made sure I had a great time and saw a lot of stuff. The nature and microclimates on this island are absolutely fantastic.
José knows the island well and he is perceptive and warm. His English is elementary but he makes himself understood.
One thing worth inquiring about if you're in port on a cruise is that José's colleague has a permit to pick people up right at the ship. This he did, delivering us to José in town. If possible, this saves a lot of time and puts any anxiety to rest about the meet-up point. Meeting shipside made everything effortless.
Our only regret was that the port call was so short (seven hours). There is so much to see on this island. José did a great job packing a lot in, but we really need to return.

Thank you so much for your opinion. We try to make the trip as comfortable as possible for those who visit us. If you dare to visit us again, you know where we are because this island has many more places to discover and can hardly be designed in such a short time. I'm glad you enjoyed the trip.
