Carved Cova Tour from Denia: Catamaran cruise with wine

The cave sits inside a marine reserve where motorboats cannot enter. You approach by water as close as the law allows.

A catamaran cruise from Denia along the Costa Blanca coast to Carved Cova, a sea cave within the Marine Reserve, with a refreshing drink included and audio guide explaining how the cave formed. The boat is two storeys with a top chill-out area. The route follows the cliffs and beaches without a fixed itinerary, so the captain adjusts based on conditions. White wine or water comes with the ticket.

The experience

The catamaran leaves from Puerto Denia and heads along the coast, passing coves and beaches as the captain navigates the shoreline. From the upper deck you look out at the Marine Reserve and back toward Denia's castle. The route is not fixed: the captain reads the sea and the weather and chooses which stretches to explore, so no two trips follow exactly the same path.

Carved Cova is a sea cave carved into the cliff face within the Marine Reserve, a protected zone where motor access is strictly limited. The boat approaches as close as regulations allow, and you stay aboard to view the cave and its surrounding rock formations. An audio guide in English or Spanish plays during this stop, describing how the cave was created over time. A refreshing drink (white wine for adults or water) comes with the ticket and is served while you take in the views.

The whole outing runs about an hour. Infants sit on a lap. The boat suits all fitness levels. Service animals are welcome, and public transport reaches the departure point.

What is Carved Cova and where is it located?

Carved Cova is a sea cave carved into the cliffs within the Marine Reserve near Denia. It sits in a protected marine zone where motorboats cannot enter the cave itself, so you view it from the water as the boat approaches the coast as closely as allowed by law.

Can I actually enter the cave or swim inside it?

No. The cave lies within the Marine Reserve, a protected space where entry by motorboat is prohibited. You stay aboard the catamaran and view the cave from the water while the audio guide explains its formation.

White wine is included for adults, or water for anyone who prefers it. The drink is served while you're on the upper deck taking in the views of the coast and the Marine Reserve.

Does the tour follow the same route every time?

No. The captain does not work from a fixed itinerary. Instead, the route changes based on sea conditions and weather, so you explore different coves and beaches along the Denia coast depending on the day.

How long does the whole tour take?

The cruise runs about an hour from start to finish, including the stop at Carved Cova and time to view the cave and the surrounding cliffs.
