With the taxi boat from Santa Pola, you quickly and economically reach the island Tabarca. The boat trip from Santa Pola offers you the chance to spend an unforgettable day on the only 0.3 km² small island Tabarca with its unique history. The name of the island Tabarca goes back to king Karl III. who settled formerly captured Genoeses from a Tunesian city on the island in order to convert it into a fortress for protecting it against pirates. Worth seeing are the small city with its narrow streets, the watchtower Torre de San José and the church of the village, that was declared a protected building in 1964.
However, the island Tabarca boat trip also offers you the possibility to spend a day at the beach of the island, that disposes of a long sandy beach and several bays with crystal-clear water. The sea around Tabarca was declared a marine reserve and therefore is a paradise for scuba divers or for snorkeling. The flora and fauna are diversified and you can expect great visibilities. The island Tabarca also has some cosy little bars and restaurants, where you i.e. can try "Caldero", a typical speciality of the island. At one of the departure times of your choice, you'll go by boat from the island Tabarca back to Santa Pola.

Customer Reviews Economic Santa Pola boat trip to island Tabarca
Fun and quick boat trip to the charming island of Tabarca
I enjoyed the boat trip to Tabarca from Santa Pola. It was quick, about 20 minutes, and reasonably priced. The island itself is beautiful, with crystal-clear beaches and interesting historical sites like the church and the watchtower. Ideal for a day at the beach or snorkelling. Do bring your own food and drinks, as supply on the island is limited. Highly recommended for a relaxing day out.Leuke en snelle boottocht naar het charmante eiland Tabarca
Ik heb genoten van de boottocht naar Tabarca vanuit Santa Pola. Het was snel, ongeveer 20 minuten, en redelijk geprijsd. Het eiland zelf is prachtig, met kristalheldere stranden en interessante historische plekken zoals de kerk en de wachttoren. Ideaal voor een dagje strand of snorkelen. Neem wel je eigen eten en drinken mee, want het aanbod op het eiland is beperkt. Echt een aanrader voor een ontspannen dagje uit.Nice tour
