Paddle from Cala Portixol to the mysterious Cova dels Orguens with Siesta Advisor Javea. Snorkel, cliff jump, and experience Alicante’s rugged Mediterranean coast like never before.
Javea, a coastal jewel on Spain's Alicante coastline, offers more than sun-soaked beaches—it’s a gateway to raw marine adventure. Siesta Advisor Javea’s Kayak Cova dels Orguens trip is a standout excursion that reveals the wild, rugged character of this Mediterranean shoreline. Launching from Cala Portixol, this experience is a paddle into geological intrigue and aquatic freedom. The route carves its way around towering limestone cliffs shaped by millennia of sea and wind, culminating in the Cova dels Orguens—also known locally as the Dragon's Cave. This cavern is famous for its dramatic rock formations and the way sunlight filters through narrow openings, casting otherworldly patterns on the water’s surface. Beyond the cave, the waters are crystal clear, perfect for snorkeling to spot vibrant marine life beneath the surface. The tour also includes cliff jumping at carefully chosen spots, adding a splash of adrenaline to the day.
What sets Siesta Advisor Javea apart is their expert guidance and local knowledge, ensuring every paddle stroke connects you with the essence of Javea’s coastal wildness while maintaining safety and comfort. The unique combination of sea kayaking, snorkeling, and cliff jumping makes it an ideal trip for adventurers looking to engage fully with the environment rather than just observing from the shore. The region’s unique geology—formed by sedimentary rock with hidden grottos—and the Mediterranean ecosystem support a diverse range of sea life, from colorful fish to octopus. This tour offers an unmatched blend of physical activity and scenic reward in one of Spain’s less commercialized coastal spots.
Whether you’re an experienced paddler or motivated beginner, Siesta Advisor Javea offers a window into the natural history and raw beauty of this part of Alicante’s coast.
