Setting Sail on a Family Adventure

As a travel writer and a mother of three, I’m always on the lookout for family-friendly adventures that offer both fun and a touch of education. When I heard about the Catamaran Adventure from Denia, I knew it was something my kids and I had to experience. The promise of sailing along the wild coast of Las Rotas, exploring the Marine Natural Reserve, and getting a glimpse of the iconic Cova Tallada was too enticing to pass up.

Our journey began in the charming town of Denia, where we boarded a spacious and comfortable catamaran. The crew was incredibly professional and welcoming, making sure everyone felt at ease. As we set sail, the excitement in the air was palpable. The kids were thrilled to be on a boat, and I was eager to see the stunning landscapes of the Valencian Community from the sea.

Discovering Hidden Gems

The catamaran glided smoothly along the coast, offering breathtaking views of the cliffs of Cape San Antonio. The water was a mesmerizing shade of blue, and the natural beauty of the area was simply awe-inspiring. We passed by the port of Jávea, a picturesque spot that added to the charm of our journey.

Our captain expertly navigated us to the area of Portitxol Island, where we anchored near one of the best coves in the region. The water was crystal clear, and the kids couldn’t wait to jump in. Equipped with snorkels, they explored the underwater world, spotting colorful fish and marveling at the marine life. It was a joy to see them so engaged and curious, learning about the ocean in such a hands-on way.

A Feast for the Senses

After a refreshing swim, it was time to enjoy a delicious meal on board. The crew served up a delightful spread of Valencian paella, fresh salad, and juicy watermelon. Each bite was a taste of the region’s culinary heritage, and the kids loved trying something new. With a drink in hand, we relaxed on the deck, soaking in the sun and the stunning views.

The five-hour tour flew by, and as we sailed back to Denia, I couldn’t help but reflect on what a perfect day it had been. The combination of adventure, relaxation, and family bonding made it an experience to remember. For anyone looking to explore the beauty of the north of Alicante from the sea, I highly recommend this catamaran excursion. It’s a wonderful way to connect with nature and create lasting memories with your loved ones.
