About the experience

Sailing Trip from Alicante to Tabarca Island

Embark on a unique sailing experience from the Alicante coast to the incomparable Tabarca Island, a small Mediterranean paradise that combines history, gastronomy, and unspoiled nature.

The day begins by leaving the port of Alicante behind as the sailboat sets course for the blue horizon. During the voyage, the sea breeze and the sound of the wind in the sails create a feeling of freedom that is hard to match. Little by little, the silhouette of Tabarca appears, the only inhabited island in the Valencian Community and one of the best-preserved jewels of the Mediterranean.

Upon arrival, the turquoise hues of its waters, considered among the clearest on the Costa Blanca, are breathtaking. The island is surrounded by Spain's first Marine Reserve, a protected area where underwater visibility can reach between 22 and 45 meters, allowing you to contemplate extraordinarily rich marine life, Posidonia seagrass meadows, and a great diversity of Mediterranean species.

Free time to enjoy a swim in its crystal-clear coves, snorkel, or simply relax while contemplating a landscape that seems frozen in time. Many visitors agree that Tabarca's true treasure lies beneath the surface of its waters, where the sea's transparency allows for the observation of unique fish and marine ecosystems.

The experience is completed with a tasting of traditional Tabarca cuisine. In the island's restaurants, you can savor the famous seafood rice dishes made with fresh Mediterranean ingredients and the emblematic Tabarca caldero, an ancestral fisherman's recipe prepared with rockfish, dried red peppers, garlic, and tomato. Traditionally, it is served in two courses: first the fish, and then the rice cooked in the flavorful seafood broth.

After exploring its whitewashed streets, its walled enclosure, and enjoying the island's tranquility, the sailboat will begin its return to Alicante at sunset. The golden light of the sun reflecting on the Mediterranean provides the perfect ending to an unforgettable excursion amidst sea, tradition, and nature.

A perfect getaway to discover the magic of Tabarca, the small inhabited island that holds some of the clearest waters and most authentic flavors of the Mediterranean

Albert. Spectacular. Very kind. Needless to say, you have to bring towels and ice. We went to Tabarca and they helped us make reservations. I cough very well.

Great boat, Isabel was quick with her replies. Her English is not the best so we experienced a little bit of the language barrier when getting to the boat. The listing showed a dinghy motor optional which made us believe there was an option for a dinghy. There was no dinghy with the boat. Overall lovely day and Hugo was wonderful taking all the worries away from the day on the water.
