Slides and Waterfalls

Location: Town Centre

Within easy reach of the centre of Benidorm, Aqualandia is FUN so the kids will love it, which means that parents will too. Assorted shutes / springboards / pools / rapids / waterfalls and black holes (that’s right, black holes, but don’t worry, 'cos you go in two at a time) will satisfy all members of the wet set. Themed areas planted with trees and shrubs house the Pistas Blandas, the Laguna, Niagara, Splash, the Big Bang... and the Kamikaze. But if they sound a bit too demanding, don’t worry. Little ones, and the non-mermaids amongst you are also catered for with more gentle options. Bars, shops, restaurants, showers and lockers etc are all available. Children from 0-90 enjoy animals and wildlife.

Spoilt for choice!

Location: Town Centre

You're going to be spoilt for choice here and the kids will love it. A dolphinarium, parrot show, flamingos, turtles, sea lions, a bat cave (but no Robin), penguins, a children's park, and a galleon. That's right, a galleon, and from inside it you can enjoy a different view of what’s going on from under the water. The park is well equipped with a number of refreshment kiosks. And, if you're planning a party or a celebration with a difference, you might think about holding it at the restaurant or cafeteria.

Guadalest, the 'Eagle's Nest', is located about 25 km inland from Benidorm along the CV-70 road. It enjoys one of the most spectacular locations of any village in Spain, set high up on a pinnacle and carved out of a mountain top in the midst of truly stunning scenery. It has a population of only 200 but is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Spain.

The drive inland from Altea is fascinating as you follow the winding road ever higher past the picturesque village of Polop, before emerging finally high up over Guadalest.

Of Islamic origin, Guadalest was a military stronghold of great strategic importance and is the site of several ancient castles, the remains of which can still be seen today - although earthquakes and battles during the War of Spanish Succession (early 18th Century) have reduced these castles to little more than shells.

One of its most famous landmarks is the Peñon de La Alcalá tower rising high above the village to watch over the valley below.

The castle village, which is reached through a tunnel, is a delight, with many little craft and souvenir shops, several cafés and museums. You can take a little tour around the inside of the castle and the ramparts. It only costs a few Euros and you will be rewarded with some simply breathtaking views of the surrounding valley and down to the Bay of Altea. There are many works of art on display, from the elaborate to the comical.

 

 

This delightful train takes you on a 30 mile rail journey from Benidorm through Altea, Calpe, Benissa and Teulada to Gata de Gorgos.

On reaching Gata you can choose to visit a guitar factory or check out the popular local basket weaving techniques.

The port of Calpe is just one hour's pleasure boat ride away. Enjoy first class views of the cliffs, coastline, and the attractive bay of Altea. If you wish to explore Calpe, a walk along the esplanade will lead you to the town. Or you could just enjoy the port itself with its wide selection of restaurants where fish, naturally, features high on the menus. Boats depart from Benidorm Marina at 11.00 am, and the return journey leaves Calpe at 3.00pm. (This doesn't leave that much time for sightseeing so you might want to take a taxi back). The boat runs all year round, every day except Tuesdays and Sundays
 

Take a Submarine Trip!

Location: Town Centre
Take a yellow, sub aquatic catamaran trip to Benidorm Island, 2 kilometres out to sea. No, I didn't know what one of those was either, but apparently it’s like a regular catamaran with an underwater deck where you can see marine life once you've arrived. The island is a conservation haven for a variety of birds, peacocks and hens, so there you have it – something for the twitchers. Trips run every hour, tickets are available from the kiosk at the far end of the quay
 

 

Welcome to the 4 worlds of Terra Natura.

The silhouette of a great volcano can be glimpsed from outside the park.Fire is the main feature of the beginning of your journey. Rivers of lava flow down through exotic gardens creating a grand concourse taking you into the park where adventure awaits. Huge insects make you realise how small we are beside the wonders of nature. Welcome to Pangea, where your senses will be put to the test.

America will envelop you in its aura of magic. Every corner of this continent, every vivid experience is full of intsense contrasts and strikingly different landscapes ranging from dense virgin jungle, to majestic Mayan ruins. The native dwellers will make you feel part of their customs, traditions and rituals.

As you enter Asia, the forest opens up on the way to a logging camp transporting you to a hidden and exotic corner of the world. Quaint inns and huts scattered between tall palm trees creat a tranquil atmosphere interupted only by the trumpeting of the elephants. Search for the majestic Bengal Tiger, try the local dishes and be charmed by the snake charmers, artists and carpet sellers.

Continuing on the trip you will reach your last destination - Europe. When you arrive in Kalicameni, you can go for a ride on the back of a donkey across the hills. Coming to the village it is low tide on the coast and in the puddles which have appeared you can search for sealife. Skin dive and swim alongside rays, fishes and sharks, or have fun on some of the vast array of water slides on offer.
