An 8 day nature II journey around the Canary Islands
- In the wake of Darwin -
The journey starts and ends in Santa Cruz, located on the Island Tenerife, the International airport is also located in this city.
The Canary Islands, who owe their name to the troops of wild dogs who previously wandered around, lay about 50 nautical miles west of Morocco. The unspoiled nature of this group of volcanic islands is breathtaking. You will sail along with a biologist to the most beautiful bays and places to discover the islands from there.
Sailing from island to island, we have many opportunities to discover the nature.
On the Island La Gomera is the Parque Nacional de Garajonay. A park, listed on the World Heritage Site by UNESCO, with one of the oldest natural forests in which almost a fairytale atmosphere exists.
La Palma, La Isla Bonita, is indeed “the beautiful island”, also known as flower island. It houses many contrasts, barren lava land in the south and full of hills covered with flowers in the north. The walks lead along deep gorges, wild rivers and avocado plantations.
On Tenerife, lays the highest mountain of Spain, El Teide. On the journey to the summit of this volcano we will see a lunar landscape, vast plains which you never have seen. Sometimes there is snow on the top other times it is still pleasantly warm.
The distances between the islands are different. One time we will heave the anchor around midnight to sail under the stars to the next island, so we will arrive in the morning and go ashore. The other time we will spend the day to sail on the beautiful Atlantic Ocean and see the Clipper Stad Amsterdam in full glory.
