Granadella-Moraig: Full Day Experience by kayak & E-bike

Exploring Costa Blanca: A Full Day by Kayak & E-bike

Imagine a day spent cycling through scenic mountain paths, descending into crystal-clear coves, exploring caves only accessible from the sea, and ending with a delicious typical Spanish meal. That’s essentially what this Granadella-Moraig full-day experience offers. It’s a balanced mix of adventure, nature, and culture, perfect for those who love being active while soaking up beautiful coastal scenery.

What really appeals to us about this tour is how it combines two different activities—e-biking and kayaking—allowing you to see the landscape from multiple angles. Plus, the focus on spectacular views and hidden spots makes it stand out from more straightforward sightseeing trips. On the flip side, a possible consideration is that it’s quite full-on—so if you’re not into physical activity or have mobility restrictions, this might not be your best fit.

This experience suits travelers who enjoy an active day out — especially those interested in outdoor pursuits, scenic landscapes, and a touch of adventure. It’s also a good pick for those eager to explore the Costa Blanca beyond the usual beaches, in a way that’s both fun and healthy.

A Closer Look at the Experience

Getting ready for this tour means meeting your guide at the shop in Benitachell, where you’ll be handed your electric bike, safety equipment, and your lunch essentials. It’s a nice touch that all these are included, making it a seamless day. We loved the idea of starting the day with a ride up to Cumbres del Sol, where you get sweeping views over the Marina Alta and even glimpses of Ibiza on clear days.

The first leg by bike, about 25 minutes, takes you through varied terrain and offers a good warm-up. From there, you’ll make a photo stop at Puig de la Llorença, a viewpoint that provides stunning vistas—perfect for snapping some memorable photos and appreciating the landscape. The scenery here is a highlight, with panoramic views that help set the tone for the adventure ahead.

Next, the group heads to Cala Moraig, a gorgeous blue-flag beach that’s famous locally for its dramatic cliffs and clear water. Alongside the guided tour, you’ll get to see Falla Moraig and the Cueva de los Arcos, where the wild geology creates some impressive formations. These stops are not just pretty—they add a layer of cultural and geological interest, making the experience richer.

The optional kayaking segment is particularly exciting. The company chooses the departure point based on weather conditions but expect to visit Cueva de los Peces, Cala Llebeig, and the Testos, with chances to snorkel in their waters. The caves are hidden gems that you’d probably never discover without this trip. Our friends in reviews rave about the guided kayak visits—like Maria Palmira from Portugal who called it a “great day” with beautiful caves and views.

Lunchtime is another highlight, featuring a picnic with authentic Spanish dishes such as paella, fideua, or macaroni, enjoyed at a viewpoint overlooking the cove. It’s the perfect way to recharge before the second part of the day, which includes a descent back through the Granadella forest park—a route that offers more stunning vistas and a refreshing change of scenery.

Later, you’ll arrive at Granadella Cove, known for its calm, clear waters. It’s the ideal spot for a swim or a relaxed kayak trip around Cala en Caló and the Llop Marí Cave. Many reviews mention how warm and inviting the water is, making this a great spot for a dip after a day of activity.

The entire itinerary is designed to balance action with moments of contemplation and rest, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the views and snap photos. The guide’s local insights and friendly attitude certainly enhance the experience, and the small group size ensures personalized attention.

What to Expect from the Itinerary

The tour kicks off with a bike ride up to Cumbres del Sol, giving you a chance to breathe in the mountain air and take in sweeping coastal views. The ride is not excessively strenuous but enough to get your muscles warmed up. The stops at Puig de la Llorença are brief but rewarding, with photo opportunities that make the effort worthwhile.

The visit to Cala Moraig is more than just a scenic stop. Here, you’ll explore intriguing geological features, enjoy some free time, and learn from your guide about the area’s history and natural features. The nearby caves add an element of adventure, especially if you opt for the kayaking portion.

The lunch break is a real treat—picture enjoying traditional Spanish cuisine in a beautiful setting with panoramic views. This isn’t just a quick snack; it’s a thoughtful inclusion that elevates the experience beyond just sightseeing and activity.

When you finally reach Granadella Cove, the water beckons. Whether you prefer to swim or paddle, the calm waters and stunning cave formations make for a memorable finale.

Practical Details and Considerations
