1.From Alicante: Roundtrip to Tabarca Island

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 3,992 reviews · 6 hours · from $28Our pick

Take a scenic roundtrip ferry from Alicante to Tabarca Island, with sea views and free time to explore the lighthouse, streets, and coves.

“The boat is quite comfortable, there is an outdoor and indoor seating. Just be aware to queue up at least 30 minutes before the boarding time when coming back from the island. Tabarca itself is cute, but the beaches are rocky and not greatly kept, and very little to do or see, so I'm not sure I would recommend to go there.”

But I enjoyed it immensely as I haven’t been on one in a very long time. The sunset was amazing on the ways back. The crew was skilled and friendly”
