What to expect

Benidorm is the tourist destination par excellence in the province of Alicante, but you can discover other unique places in the surrounding area.

First stop Guadalest. You will leave aside the blue of the sea to marvel at the colors of the Guadalest Reservoir, the main protagonist of this area.

The town has been declared a historical site and an Asset of Cultural Interest for its rich heritage. Enjoy a walking tour with the expert guide to learn about the most relevant places and historical data and, then, you will have free time to enjoy the city's museums.

Halfway between the sea and the mountains is the quiet town of Altea. If you are looking for Mediterranean essence, it offers you six km of coastline, among which its coves and stone beaches stand out.

There is no postcard worth its salt that ignores the great dome of the Church of Consuelo, a key point in the old town of Altea. With the white houses, the cobbled streets and the blue tones of the sea appearing in every nook and cranny, a walk through Altea is a gift. You'll explore its streets on a guided walking tour before having free time for lunch and continue discovering it at your own pace.

In the last part of the excursion we will visit the Fuentes del Algar, a fascinating natural area made up of spectacular waterfalls that provide great biodiversity to the environment. You will have free to take a bath and enjoy this place however you want.

    Danny, the tour guide was brilliant. Guadalest and Altea were beautiful relaxing places to visit. We weren't too keen on Algar waterfalls due to the absolute huge amount of people there which spoils the experience. On a side note the pick up point in Benidorm is outside the Hotel la Estación which is opposite the police station. Just wait on the side of the road and the bus will arrive.

    Pickup point was clear, bus was perfectly on time. Danny our guide was fantastic, informative and clear. Air-conditioned bus with a brilliant driver. Great amount of time in each place. However I would say the arrival at Altea was to early as all the shops were still shut and not much to do as walking to the beach would take too long. But, we just got a glass of sangria and enjoyed the view and church. Highly recommend the trip. Guadalest was beautiful and would have loved more time to explore

    The meeting point was a bit confusing as it said the bus station in Benidorm first, then underneath said the entrance to the hotel of the station which didn't make sense to me. I wasn't aware that the bus station had a hotel so we wasted time wandering around the bus station trying to find the bus. Once on board, we had a great day out though. Our guide Danny was very knowledgeable.

Biglietto per la gita in barca sull'isola di Benidorm

Se siete stati sulla spiaggia di Benidorm, avrete notato un misterioso sperone roccioso all'orizzonte. Gli abitanti del luogo la chiamano Isola dei Pavoni per via degli uccelli che ne fanno la loro casa e, a soli 3,5 km di distanza, è un'ottima escursione in barca dalla terraferma.

Calaveras Cave & Calpe Tour
Escursioni e tour in giornata

Calaveras Cave & Calpe Tour

Step into the shadows of history at Calaveras Cave, tucked away in Marina Alta. This isn't just any cave; it's a journey back in time, sparked by the discovery of twelve human skulls from the 17th century inside. On this morning tour, you'll see the cave in all its glory, before heading to the coastal town of Calpe for some free time.You'll head to Calaveras Cave first. Look up at the towering formations of stalactites and stalagmites, as you wander through nature's own art gallery. Despite the cave's eerie calm, life thrives in the dim light – rare ferns and a secretive colony of bats call the cave home. It's like being in a live documentary, but you're the explorer, navigating through history with each step. Your next stop is Calpe, a seaside retreat along the Costa Blanca. Here, life's vibrant – golden, sandy beaches invite you to lounge and forget time, the old town's alleys offer stories etched in stone, and the local eats are a treat for the palate.
