Jávea, Altea & Moraira Private Tour: Coastal Villages Trip

Walk three villages and swim in hidden coves without planning the route yourself

A private tour from Alicante that takes you through Jávea, Altea and Moraira: three charming Costa Blanca villages on the same day. Your guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese, and drives you between stops in an air-conditioned vehicle with WiFi on board. You explore whitewashed old towns, stroll fishing harbors, swim at rocky coves with clear water, and finish at a beach club with Mediterranean views.

The experience

If you've landed in Alicante for a day or have a free afternoon on the coast, this tour solves the problem of reaching three separate villages without renting a car or piecing together public transport. The guide picks you up and handles the driving (about two hours total across the three stops), so you spend your time actually walking the narrow streets, not navigating between them. Each village has its own rhythm: Altea draws you into Plaza de la Iglesia and the Church of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo; Jávea opens onto a working port and then a sandy beach lined with cafés; Moraira ends at a quieter harbor where fishing boats and yachts sit side by side.

The coves matter here. Jávea's hidden beaches have rocky cliffs and water clear enough to see the bottom, and the itinerary builds in time to actually swim or float rather than just photograph them. Between villages you stop at a trendy beach club (the kind of place you'd find on your own only if you knew where to look), where you can order a drink and watch the Mediterranean without the pressure of a schedule. The vehicle stays air-conditioned and carries WiFi, which means you're not sweating through the transitions or losing signal between stops.

Two options exist: a standard tour or an extended full-day version. Both include private transport and a live guide. The longer one gives you more time in each village and at the coves. Lunch and dinner are on your own, so you can eat where and when you want rather than at a set restaurant. Infants can ride in a stroller, and the pace suits all fitness levels, though the walking through old towns involves cobblestone streets and some hills.

Is this one for you?Choose the extended full-day option if you want to swim and linger at the coves rather than just see them. The standard tour moves faster through all three villages and works better if you prefer a tighter schedule. Either way, the private vehicle and guide mean you're not coordinating buses or ferries between stops. You move at your own pace within each village while someone else handles the route.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (13 to 17 years); Child (2 to 12 years); Infant (under 2): free.

What's the difference between the standard tour and the extended full-day option?

The extended full-day tour gives you more time in each village and at the coves: the standard version moves faster through the three stops. Both include the same three villages and beach clubs. The longer option just lets you linger longer in places that interest you.

Do I need to arrange my own lunch, or is it included?

Lunch is not included, so you choose where and when to eat. The stops at beach clubs and the time in each village's cafés give you plenty of options to grab food or a drink on your own schedule.

What are the hidden coves in Jávea actually like?

Jávea's coves have rocky cliffs, clear water, and a quieter feel than the main Arenal Beach. The itinerary includes time to swim or relax there, not just pass through. You can actually spend a few hours in the water if you want.

How much of the day is spent driving between the three villages?

The transfer time between all three villages totals about two hours, so the rest of your six to ten hours is spent walking, swimming and sitting at the beach clubs in each place.

Can I bring a stroller or car seat for my baby?

Infants can ride in a pram or stroller, and small children can sit on an adult's lap. The vehicle is air-conditioned and has WiFi, so the day is comfortable for families with young kids.
