Setting Off from Boramar: Starting Your Journey

The adventure begins at the Boramar wooden house, a charming and convenient meeting point in Denia. From here, you board a luxurious catamaran—wide, stable, and perfect for a smooth ride along the coast. The crew, led by friendly Spanish hosts, sets the tone for a relaxed, enjoyable trip.

The duration is about 2 hours, a reasonable window that balances sightseeing and relaxation without feeling rushed. As the boat gently departs, you’ll love the way the sea breeze instantly refreshes you, and the views of Denia’s coastline slowly unfold around you.

Exploring the Coast from the Sea

One of the tour’s highlights is getting to know the coast from a different perspective. Unlike walking along the beach or viewing from land, being on the water offers a panoramic view of hidden coves and rugged cliffs. The captain’s skill in seeking out a perfect anchoring spot is appreciated, as it allows for a calm, peaceful pause in the journey.

The boat often anchors near scenic beaches and natural formations, giving passengers a chance to appreciate Costa Blanca’s natural beauty from a tranquil vantage point. Several reviews mention the delightful feeling of listening to the waves and the calm that settling into this environment creates.

The Cova Tallada: A Natural Marvel

While the tour is called a “Boat Trip on the Cova Tallada,” the main focus is on the experience of being on the water rather than a land-based exploration of the cove itself. The Cova Tallada (a beautiful sea cave) is a sought-after destination for exploration, but during this tour, you primarily enjoy the views from the boat, with some tours possibly stopping nearby for photos or quick visits.

What makes Cova Tallada special is its combination of natural rock formations and crystal-clear waters. This part of the trip is perfect for photographers or anyone wanting to capture the stunning coastline.
