Full description

We will depart from Santa Pola on our ferry, where you can enjoy the views from the deck, observe marine life through the glass bottom, or purchase a cold drink from our onboard bar. After a 20 minutes ride, we will disembark on the island of Tabarca. Explore the old town, admire the colourful houses, or go hiking until you reach the Tabarca Lighthouse. Not far from here, you can visit the famous Platja de Tabarca, renowned for its crystal-clear waters perfect for a refreshing swim. There will also be time to discover the island's marine life by snorkeling near the breathtakingly scenic Cova del Llop Marí cave.

Finally, after a day in the sun on this picturesque island, you can return to Santa Pola at the time of your choice from the same place where we disembark. We offer transfers approximately every half hour.

This tour was exactly what we had wished for and more! loads of opportunities to ask questions, learn about the wine, the food, the culture and more. Chiara, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Chianti area and Tuscany region. Book this tour, you'll be glad you did!
