Transport and getting around

The airport is located in southern La Gomera and is connected to the island’s main towns by roads crossing mountainous terrain, with winding sections and significant changes in elevation. Taxis, buses coordinated with flight schedules and car rental services provide connections to San Sebastián de La Gomera, Valle Gran Rey and other destinations across the island.

️ Temporary bus timetable changes (since May 2026)

Due to roadworks on the airport access road, GuaguaGomera has adjusted certain departures on route 6 from Valle Gran Rey towards the airport. Passengers should check the latest timetable before travelling, particularly when using this service to reach the airport for a flight.

The official taxi rank is located directly outside the terminal, near the arrivals exit. Taxis provide direct transfers to San Sebastián de La Gomera, Playa de Santiago, Valle Gran Rey and other towns across the island.

Taxis operate under regulated fares, with prices varying according to the destination, time of day and applicable airport surcharges.

For information or to check taxi availability, passengers can call +34 922 895 022.

Taxis are particularly convenient for reaching accommodation directly, travelling with luggage or making journeys outside bus operating hours.

GuaguaGomera connects the airport with different parts of the island through two bus routes whose timetables are coordinated with flight schedules.

Route 6 connects the airport with Valle Gran Rey, passing through towns and villages such as Alajeró, Las Hayas, El Cercado and Chipude. Route 7 connects the airport with San Sebastián de La Gomera, the island’s capital.

Services departing from the airport are scheduled around flight arrivals. In the opposite direction, route 6 is generally scheduled to reach the airport approximately two hours before flight departures, while route 7 arrives around one hour and 45 minutes beforehand.

Bus stops are located outside the terminal. As departures are linked to flight schedules and may be adjusted, passengers should always check the latest published timetables.

For route and timetable information, contact GuaguaGomera (+34 922 141 101).

Car rental services are available at the airport through Cicar and Plus Car, allowing visitors to explore La Gomera independently.

Vehicle collection and return arrangements depend on the rental company and the conditions of each booking. Reserving a vehicle in advance is recommended, particularly during periods of higher tourist demand.

Renting a car is especially useful for visiting Garajonay National Park, exploring viewpoints in the island’s interior and travelling between towns where bus connections are less frequent.

Mountain roads can considerably increase journey times, even between places that are relatively close in a straight line.

Distinctive feature

The airport was built on an elevated plateau above the cliffs of southern La Gomera, a location chosen to overcome the challenges posed by the island’s rugged terrain. Its position and layout reflect the need to accommodate a suitable runway on a mountainous island with very little flat land.
