What you can expect

Discover the Mediterranean charm of Tabarca Island on a full day trip from Alicante. Visit the coastal town of Santa Pola, enjoy a scenic boat trip across the Mediterranean, and spend hours exploring one of Spain's most unique island destinations at your own pace.

Your journey begins with a comfortable coach ride from Alicante to Santa Pola. Before boarding the boat, enjoy free time to stroll through the town, admire its historic fortress, or relax with a coffee near the harbour.

Then cruise across the Mediterranean to Tabarca Island, Spain's first Marine Reserve and its only permanently inhabited island. Surrounded by crystal clear waters and rich marine life, the island is the perfect place to relax, explore, and experience the authentic Mediterranean lifestyle.

Enjoy plenty free time to discover Tabarca at your own pace. Swim in the turquoise waters, relax on the beach, snorkel in the protected marine reserve, wander through the charming old town, walk along the historic fortified walls, browse local shops, or enjoy fresh seafood at one of the island's traditional restaurants.

In the afternoon, board the boat for the return trip to Santa Pola while taking in panoramic views of the coastline and the famous Santa Pola salt lakes, where flamingos can often be spotted, depending on the season.

Relax on the comfortable journey back to Alicante after a day filled with beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters, history, and unforgettable Mediterranean scenery.
