Our take
The Canelobre Caves are among the most spectacular in the Valencia region and only half an hour from Alicante. Going in a group of seven with a local family business and finishing with a drink in Busot makes for a very well-rounded morning; the 4.9/5 rating backs it up.

- Return transport from Alicante in a 7-seat hybrid vehicle

The experience
What you will see
- The Canelobre Caves, a huge cavern over 80 metres long and up to 30 metres high.
- Illuminated stalactites and stalagmites.
- Mountain and sea views from the entrance.
- Busot, a hilltop village of narrow lanes.
How it works
You leave central Alicante in a 7-seat hybrid vehicle and reach the caves in about half an hour, where your guide takes you through for 45 minutes to an hour. Then you head down to Busot for a guided stroll and a drink at a café before returning.
Who I recommend it for
- Anyone wanting to get away from the coast for a few hours without a car.
- People who value very small groups and a local guide.
Who I don't recommend it for
- People with reduced mobility: there are lots of stairs.
