Journey with Mundo Marino Grupo from Denia to Cova Tallada’s dramatic sea cave and marine reserve. Swim in pristine waters and enjoy refreshing drinks onboard during this relaxed coastal catamaran tour.
On Spain’s Mediterranean coast, Denia offers a striking blend of rocky shores and clear blue waters, a classic scene along the Costa Blanca in Comunidad Valenciana. Here, Mundo Marino Grupo provides a unique and refreshing adventure with their Tour Cova Tallada y Reserva Marina con baño—an intimate journey into the region’s marine reserve with an unforgettable swim link partner. The trip starts with a comfortable catamaran ride from Denia’s port, steering guests toward the iconic Cova Tallada, a natural sea cave hewn from sandstone that captures the light and sea in compelling ways. The cave’s sharp, layered formations tell the story of this rugged coastline’s geological past, while the surrounding marine reserve hosts an array of Mediterranean flora and fauna beneath its crystalline waters.
This outing is both accessible and engaging—designed for those seeking a blend of relaxation and mild adventure. About 20 minutes of cruising brings you to the cave’s entrance for a swim in calm, protected waters that glow with emerald and turquoise hues. The chance to float or snorkel here offers a rare perspective on underwater rock formations and local marine life. Back on the boat, the friendly crew often provide a complimentary glass of cava or white wine, fueling a convivial atmosphere as the vessel cruises back along the shore.
Mundo Marino Grupo stands out for combining ease with authentic connection to its surroundings. The intimate group sizes and well-managed schedules mean visitors avoid the typical crowds along the Costa Blanca, giving the experience a personal feel. The boat’s nets at the bow give ample space to lounge, watch the coastline slip by, or capture panoramic photos. Whether you’re cooling off from summer heat or seeking a scenic maritime moment, this trip offers a straightforward but memorable encounter with Denia’s marine environment.
The vessel departs promptly; arriving at least 10 minutes before departure is crucial to ensure boarding and scanning.
Booking a spot on the catamaran’s mesh lounge area offers an unobstructed vantage point for photos and sunbathing.
Coastal winds intensify after sunset; a light windbreaker makes the return trip more comfortable.
The waters at Cova Tallada are calm but rocky; wearing water shoes can protect feet during the swim.
