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.

A very enjoyably half day out lots to see and good tour guide

We enjoyed the coach trip to the Caves and found it very interesting. Calpe was a very pleasant place and had a lovely beach.

We enjoyed looking round the caves and the shop as we have been coming to Benidorm for years and never been here, also calpe was absolutely beautiful would definitely recommend

The cave was very interesting. I used to do a lot of potholing when I was younger so enjoy going down caves. Calpe was very nice to visit

Jan, our tour guide was lovely. Very happy to help and explain all about the caves, and even only the coach ride would give random facts and information along the way. It was lovely to listen to. Really great tour, and I would recommend Jan as a guide!

Packed so much into this half day trip … the caves were interesting and liked that they were accessible as my husband has difficulty walking. Calpe was lovely too had a walk round the old town and spent time near the beachfront too. Saw the flamingos on the salt lake aswell Our guide was Jan he was amazing considering he was very new to job!! He was very knowledgeable and friendly … he made the trip a ten out of ten!! Was very impressed by him!!
