Aqua Natura Benidorm tickets
Aqua Natura is a spectacular water park with more than 4,000 square meters of fun for the whole family, with wide-open views which is perfect for parents to keep an eye on their children as well as admire the scenery on the Spanish coast.
With a Greek-themed layout that includes more than 3,200 feet (1km) of waterslides, beach bars, and three dedicated children’s pool, Aqua Natura has something for guests of any age. A promenade leads you to the beach, where you can relax under the sun or go for a swim in the pool. You can experience the thrill of La Cresta, a rollercoaster of a waterslide that reaches more than 50 feet (15 meters) in height and lets you feel the sense of weightlessness as you splash through a fully enclosed path.
Try out the winding route of the Aqua Snake, the fast-paced descent of the Rio Aventura, or a half-dozen other unique thrill rides to experience the excitement and sheer exhilaration that Aqua Natura has in store. When you’re ready to relax, visit the sun deck or head to Zorba Beach and kick back at the 1.2 acre (5,000-sq-m) pool. With attractions that range from 3 artificial islands to waterfalls and geysers.

Explanations available in eight languages (Spanish, English, French, German, Dutch, Japanese, Portuguese and Valencian) with individual sound system. You will travel in a vehicle of unique features: a fun tram from where you will discover the city from a different point of view. You can get on and off with the same ticket at any stop for a validity of 24 hours.
Valencia Your Way
If the lure of some shopping and sightseeing in Spain’s third largest city is tempting, then this full day excursion to Valencia is just the ticket. You’ll be transferred by bus to explore the city at your own pace – there’s no pressure to do anything you don’t want to do, simply enjoy the culture and atmosphere of this historic city.
From Benidorm, you’ll travel to Valencia by bus, and the best part is that you won’t have to find your way in from the outskirts, you’ll be dropped off right in the city centre. What’s more, your guide will be on hand to give out maps and point you in the right direction. From here, the day is yours to spend exactly as you wish.
Dip in and out of all the shops, try out local eateries – paella hails from Valencia – and stroll around its old town, which is one of the largest in Spain. There’s loads to discover. You’ll meet up with your guide at the allotted time to head back to Benidorm.
4×4 Mountain Safari
If you like to mix your sightseeing with a dose of real adventure, then this 4×4 safari tour is just the thing. Head off-road through spectacular Costa Blanca mountains, taking in all the sights of this rugged countryside – and navigating exciting tracks.
You’ll have four hours of non-stop thrills as you set off on your 4×4 safari through the mountains. You’ll be driven by a pro as you as the 4×4 zigzags dirt tracks on a route that gives you a taste of real adventure as you drive past a reservoir on your way to conquer Mt Aitana.
Power through the centre of this formidable massif and then make your way down a winding mountain-side track that leads all the way to a jungle-like dry river bed. During the safari, there’ll be a pit stop in a small mountain village.
Magic Robin Hood
If travelling back to a distant age of knights and chivalry sounds perfect for you then this is something special. Think clashing swords, thundering hooves and cheers of excitement on this evening of medieval adventure in movie-set surroundings. A right royal feast washed down with tankards of free flowing drink make the perfect side dish to this entertainment extravaganza of jousts and swordplay.
4×4 Countryside Tour
The Costa Blanca’s main draw might be its pristine beaches, but travel just a few miles inland and you’ll encounter countryside brimming with mountains, picturesque valleys and forests – all at your fingertips. Expect a healthy dose of adventure and jaw-dropping views during this jam-packed 4×4 tour.
Buckle your seatbelt and prepare for a 4×4 adventure through the rolling hills near Costa Blanca. You’ll follow dirt tracks that cling to mountain edges, roads that cut straight through the middle of valleys and trails shaded by cool forests. This tour has it all.
And after a few hours exploring all the most picturesque points, you’ll get to cool off in nature’s very own shower – the Algar Waterfalls. Wash away the dust in crystal clear pools in lush green surroundings. It’s perfection.
Terra Natura All-inclusive
With a Noah’s Ark worth of creatures, Terra Natura is an animal-lover’s paradise. Its themed areas are spread across open gardens and countryside. And this day out has the added bonus of entry into the neighbouring Aqua Natura waterpark as well.
Step into the world of Terra Natura and make your way to Pangea, where you’ll find a whole host of poisonous creatures. While America is home to panthers, flamingos, macaws and a tropical forest. Over in Asia, there’s a herd of elephants alongside tigers, rhinos and more. And in Europe you’ll find deer, boars and other fauna. Plus it’s all designed around a ‘zoo-immersion’ concept, which means you can get inches from the creatures with just glass safety barriers between you.
Then you can hit the slides at Aqua Natura, a Greek-themed waterpark filled to the brim with chutes, pools and a relaxation area to take a breather. Your two-park combination ticket also includes a lunch menu with two drinks, so everything’s sorted.
Aqualandia Water Park
There’s just the place to escape the heat, and that’s Benidorm’s Aqualandia water park. It’s packed to the brim with slides and attractions that’ll satisfy thrill-seekers of all ages. What’s more, there are relaxation areas to sleep off your lunch and a range of areas for kids of every size.
Toddlers will love splashing about in shallow pools featuring artificial beaches such as the Niagara waterfall, and the gently flowing waters of Amazon. And there’s more – there’s Adventureland, the Laguna, Geyser, hot tubs and a wave pool.
Bigger thrill-seekers can race each other on the mega multi-track Splash slides or scream down the switchbacks of the Zig Zag. For the ultimate adrenaline rush, head for the Big Bang, Verti-Go, Black Hole and brand new Cyclone. With plenty of areas to relax, soak up the sun and offering restaurants and snack bars for when you get peckish, this waterpark has it all.
Palau de les Arts ticket
Valencia is a city boasting amazing architecture at every turn. And yet the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia still stands out. Magnificent on the outside, what’s housed inside is even more incredible. All spiral staircase and floating beams, its futuristic design is the centerpiece to Spain’s City of Arts and Science project. And as the city’s hub for music and arts performances, you’ll get a behind-the scenes tour of one of Europe’s modern architectural wonders.
Mendoza winery
Away from the beaches and bars of Benidorm, you’ll get a real feel of Spain at the Mendoza Winery. Discover the history and process of winemaking with a guided tour before heading to the garden terrace to try some for yourself. From crisp whites to rich reds, this is a flavourful intro to all things wine.
Making your own way to Alfaz Del Pi, you’ll enter the Mendoza Winery. Built by Enrique Mendoza in the 1970’s, it mixes modern science with age-old techniques to create some of the best wines in the region.

The wonderful oasis that is Mundomar is located between the concrete jungle of Benidorm and the wilds of Serra Gelada Natural Park. There couldn’t be a more ideal spot for this amazing animal park. The whole family will love it but the kids will have a really wild time.
Mundomar offers up everything from dolphin and sea lion shows to exotic birds, monkeys, penguins and loads of other wildlife wonders. Train your eyes on turtles as they glide through the water. Gaze at beautiful owls and strutting flamingos. And giggle at the goings-on in the penguin pool.
Whatever you do though, make sure you see as many of the shows as you can. With birds, mammals and reptiles galore, Mundomar is a memorably exotic day for the whole family – and educational, too.
Terra Mitica + Mundomar tickets
This value-for-money combination gives you two days of magic at two of the biggest fun parks in Costa Blanca. You’ll have one full day of fun at Terra Mítica, Benidorm’s biggest theme park, and one day getting to know wild animals at Mundomar.
At Terra Mítica as well as hair-raising rides, you’ll experience spectacular surroundings and shows retelling historical battles and age-old legends. In Egypt, there are thrills and spills galore on the water-themed rides, in Rome fly at full speed on the Phoenix but don’t go to Greece if you suffer from vertigo. There are mini versions for the kids, too, so it’s great for the whole family.
For a more relaxing experience head to Mundomar – a much-loved marine and bird park, designed to be fun for you and the kids. There’s everything from dolphin and sea-lion shows to exotic birds and monkeys, and you’ll even have the chance to feed lemurs, penguins and other animals.

Downhill Bikes
If you are looking for something a little less ordinary, try this exhilarating excursion for size. But don’t worry – it’s not as much work as it sounds. Your morning kicks off with a scenic drive high up into the mountains, leaving the bustle of the busy coast far behind.
Once we’re deep in the countryside you’ll be kitted out with a bike and helmet. Then, let gravity take over as you glide downhill at an easy pace so you can soak up the scenery as you go. Breathe in the fresh mountain air, the smell of pine and orange blossom filling your lungs as you pass dramatic gorges and fertile valleys filled with wildlife.
Imagine all of this, in the great outdoors and the reality’s even better, as you’ll hardly have to do any pedalling!

Mundomar is a bit more relaxing though no less exciting. There’s everything from dolphin and sea-lion shows to exotic birds and monkeys, and you’ll even have the chance to feed lemurs, penguins and other animals.

Benidorm Palace Variety Show
With 40 years of success in producing live variety shows, it’s no wonder Benidorm Palace garners rave reviews and is voted best in the Costa Blanca year after year. The Palace’s cabarets are the stuff of legend and feature world-class artistes performing the best of Spanish entertainment.
Your evening’s extravaganza will be a combination of Las Vegas-style numbers, all sequins, feathers and glitter, and classic old-style cabaret theatre. Expect to be dazzled by the variety and quality of the entertainment. There’s comedy, magic, West End and Broadway numbers – and the whole night is rounded off with all-singing, all-dancing finale.
Performances are in a specially designed 1,660-seat auditorium, itself located in a glistening curved titanium building that’ll remind you of Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum. It’s dripping with glitz and glamour – so don your best evening wear and prepare to be swept up by the electric atmosphere.
Tabarca Island Boat Trip
Tiny Tabarca Island is one of the Costa Blanca’s best-kept secrets and a daytrip here is an unmissable experience. It’s just a 20-minute boat ride from the mainland but once you get there, you’ll feel like you’ve travelled back in time – there are no cars for a start. But this trip is more about what Tabarca does have.
There’s the walled town covering the western half of the island. It’s home to about 60 residents – a century ago, there were more than 1,000 – and has just a handful of streets. Then there’s the recently restored baroque church over by the sea – there can’t be many prettier churches in Spain. And then there are the gorgeous little coves and beaches with crystalline waters lapping against them.
And then there’s the rest of the island – an expanse of bushes and cactus punctured only by an old prison and lighthouse, with tracks leading to cemetery in the eastern tip. To walk from tip to tip takes about half an hour – so it’s very doable as well as enjoyable.
