Description
"Morro de Toix" and the "Cueva dels Coloms", a beautiful cliff area in Altea where you'll enjoy a gorgeous kayak tour and you'll be impressed by a magical place for the most daring.
Enjoy a maritime route full of cliffs: a marvellous spectacle of stone walls that, if you were told about it, you would be unable to imagine.
The route at a glance...
The meeting point will be at Mascarat Beach, where you will start with an introduction to how to use the kayaks and an explanation of the whole route to refresh you. As soon as you get on board, you will head towards the Punta del Mascarat, to cross it and go all along the coast towards the north.
You will reach the beautiful Cala del Racó del Corb cove, and then enter the cliffs known as Morro del Toix, whose height and verticality will leave you speechless.
All along the cliff coast there are areas where you can stop with the kayaks, as well as sea caves. We will do so in the "Cueva dels Coloms", a cave that can only be accessed via the sea, where you'll enjoy a caving activity and discover everything there is inside: galleries and rooms, where you can see several springs of different sizes flowing towards the sea.
And it is very curious, because the effect of this is that the water is "sucked" by the stone of the Morro del Toix to be expelled again through these springs. This only happens in one other place in the world, on a Greek island called Cephalonia.
Once you have explored the cave, you will return to the kayak to head even further north, to Cala del Gasparet. There you will make another stop to rest, snorkel, swim and recover your strength for the return to Mascarat Beach.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In the morning or in the afternoon, you decide when you prefer to enjoy this route with caving in the sea.
In the mornings the water is calmer, so the approach to the cliffs is much calmer. It is also worth bearing in mind that the sun starts to warm up, so you can take advantage of the coolness of the morning to avoid overheating. Ideal when kayaking with the family.
The afternoons are hotter, but the course is refreshing and you can always soak your kayaking partner's face with an unwelcome "splash of water".
Don't think twice. If you are going to spend a summer near Altea, Morro del Toix will be a real discovery for you and your family. So, join this route and take home one of the most beautiful experiences in Altea.
