TABARCA ISLAND

It’s the ideal excursion to do with the family. Everyone will love the idea of taking a boat trip out to an island , and maybe try snorkelling to discover the marvels of the sea that this natural marine reserve offers. To get there you can go with Kontiki (daily departures from March to December, www.cruceroskontiki.com), the boat service running the line between Alicante and Tabarca Island . The crossing takes approximately 50 minutes. Both Tabarca Island and Alicante city are ideal places to practise water sports all year round like boat and jet ski hire, sailing, diving, surfing, windsurfing, paddle surfing, sport fishing or water skiing . All of these services can be contracted directly with the companies organising them.

I f you want to literally be surrounded by the Mediterranean, there is nothing better than to take a trip to Tabarca Island and follow the route around it . Tabarca is the only inhabited island of the Valencian County although it’s not so much a singular island as a small archipelago composed of four small islands . The main island, known as the Isla Plana, is the largest in surface area and next to it are the other small islands: La Cante- ra, La Galera and La Nao.
