Voyage description

Leave Tenerife in your wake and head for La Palma on a five-night sailing adventure aboard the Santa Maria Manuela. Ahead lie volcanic shores, time to explore and the chance to lend a hand aboard a historic sailing ship.

La Palma earns its nickname, “La Isla Bonita”. Wander through Santa Cruz de La Palma, past colorful façades and carved wooden balconies, stopping for a coffee along the way. Or venture beyond the capital to discover volcanic landscapes, green forests and black-sand beaches. Your time ashore is yours to plan.

Between islands, take a turn at the helm, help the crew set the sails or learn your first knots. There’s no experience needed, and joining in is entirely up to you. Some days, a quiet spot on deck and a wide-open ocean might be all you want.

On the passage back to Tenerife, watch for Mount Teide rising on the horizon. By then, you’ll know a few more knots, a few more faces …and perhaps have a favorite place on deck.

Tenerife
La Palma

Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, offers a vibrant mix of culture, nature, and tradition. The island is known for its towering Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, which provides stunning views and hiking trails for nature lovers. In the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage site, you can explore colonial streets, museums, and historic churches. Another highlight is the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, famous for its colorful carnival, one of the largest in the world. In terms of cuisine, Tenerife offers specialties such as gofio, papas arrugadas with mojo sauce, and freshly grilled fish. For beach lovers, the volcanic black or golden sand beaches, like Las Teresitas, are perfect for relaxation. With a blend of African, Spanish, and Latin American influences, Tenerife is a destination that surprises with its cultural and natural diversity.
Santa Cruz de La Palma, the capital of the island of La Palma, is a charming city with a rich historical and cultural heritage. Its cobbled streets, lined with colonial buildings featuring wooden balconies, invite a leisurely stroll through the historic center, where Plaza de España and the Church of El Salvador are must-see landmarks. The city's port was a strategic point during the age of exploration, and its replica of a Spanish galleon, the Barco de la Virgen, pays tribute to this maritime history. The local cuisine includes delights like almendrados (almond cookies) and fresh seafood dishes typical of the region. The city is an excellent base for exploring La Palma's volcanic landscapes and hiking trails, as the island is known as the "Isla Bonita." Combining tranquility, culture, and nature, Santa Cruz de La Palma is the perfect destination for those seeking an authentic Canary Islands experience.

I won't forget the long-suffering patient crew member who taught me to tie a double bowline. It took ages but I finally got it, and was able to teach another passenger.

Plein de moments magiques pendant le voyage. C'était impressionnant de voir le bateau depuis le zodiac quand on se trouvait à environ 50 ou 100 m du navire. Super la baignade en pleine mer.
