What to expect

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.

    Loved the caves, loved the beach we went to. I would say it was more than enough time at each location. Guide was very informative throughout the trip.

    The issue with this trip is the short duration. You’re only given 45 minutes at the caves so you have to rush and have no time to grab a drink or browse the shop. At least 1 hour is needed here. Calpe is also a short stop at 1 hour and 30 minutes available to look around. We were back in our hotel by 2pm. We were disappointed with how rushed the excursion was. Despite this, the caves and Calpe are both beautiful areas. If we wanted to visited either again we would arrange our own transport.

    The caves were very small and didn't get enough time we got a cup of tea and couldn't drink it as the my wanted to leave. Then you didn't get much free time when dropped off and we found that theres wasn't much direction on where we could go in the town. However the place itselfs was beautiful and so much more class than Benidorm.

    Particularly enjoyed the caves. Would have liked more time there as it felt a bit rushed. Calpe was beautiful and worth a visit. Overall, it was a good morning out.

    We felt that we didn't have much time on our excursion We was given 45 mins at the caves and it felt very rushed. At our second destination calpe we had 1 hour 45 mins which again would have liked longer and didn't get the experience we hoped for. Overall disappointed with this excusion.
