Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/companies/kontiki-cruises-tabarca

Alicante ferry company that sails to Tabarca island all year round from the port, with an open return ticket at €24 and boats with underwater viewing.

## Who they are

Cruceros Kontiki is the shipping line of the company Cruceros Kontiki S.A., with a ticket office and boarding at the port of Alicante, next to the Paseo de los Mártires de la Libertad. Its main work is the return tourist trip between Alicante and the island of Tabarca and its marine reserve.

## The boats

It has a fleet of three catamarans, with capacity for 150 to 250 passengers. Each has an open deck or solarium on the upper level and an enclosed lounge with music and television, plus a bar with drinks and snacks and toilets. Two of the three have underwater viewing, used when arriving at the Tabarca marine reserve and until disembarkation, so if you are interested it is worth asking which boat you are sailing on. The boats can be seen in the port before buying.

## The ticket and times

The ticket is a return, €24 per person and free for ages 0 to 4, with an open return: you choose the outbound time and come back on whichever boat you want that day. If you plan to stay overnight on the island, keep your ticket and tell them before disembarking: you can use it to come back another day. It publishes a weekly timetable: Monday to Friday, outbound at 11:30 and return at 16:30; Saturdays and Sundays, outbound at 10:45 and 12:15 and returns at 16:00 and 17:00. The company warns that times are confirmed when you collect your ticket and that it may change or cancel them because of the state of the sea or technical reasons.

## Buying, exchanging and cancelling

You buy on the website, with Visa or Mastercard, or at the port ticket office, which opens 40 minutes before each departure. An online purchase must be exchanged for the ticket at the ticket office on the same day, up to 20 minutes before sailing; the ticket is personal and if lost it must be paid for again. Cancellations are requested by email to devolucioneskontiki@gmail.com up to 72 hours before the chosen departure, and are refunded by the same method of payment; afterwards nothing is refunded. Anyone who does not turn up in time loses the ticket. It also sells gift cards.

## Children, pets and groups

Under-14s cannot travel alone, and those aged 14 to 18 need written authorisation from their parents. It admits small or medium-sized dogs and cats with a health certificate, lead and muzzle, and lets you bring luggage on board. For groups of more than 20 it organises private trips to Tabarca or around the bay, with a time of your choice within the day, a stop for swimming and catering if booked in advance; it also charters boats to watch regattas and the Alicante fireworks from the sea. As well as the boat package with rice at a restaurant on the island, it works with Tabarca Snorkel on snorkelling outings from the same port. It answers on 686 994 540, 695 21 20 63 and by WhatsApp.
