1. Take to the skies on a parasail
Love an ocean view? Why not enjoy the Costa Blanca coastline from an entirely new perspective? Parasailing in Torrevieja will give you the chance to soar over the area attached to a parachute, connected to a speeding boat. Available for youngsters as well as adults, parasailing has to be one to write home about. You can even fit as many as five people to a parasail at one time. This company provides parasailing in Torrevieja.
2. Go off-road on a quad bike
Fancy going off-road to explore this scenic region? Embalse de la Pedrera is a stunning blue reservoir a stone’s throw from Torrevieja where you can take a range of quad bike tours ranging from easy rides suitable for youngsters, to much more challenging drives for more adventurous visitors. You can even arrange to have a mid-way barbecue by the glittering lake.
3. Make a splash with a jetboard
360 degree spins, super high speeds and plenty of adrenaline – there are plenty of thrills to be had in Torrevieja’s marina, particularly if you book a session in a jet boat. You can even arrange a session on a jetboard, a sort of aquatic skateboard which will shoot you metres into the air above the water, and help you hover there just like Marty McFly.
4. Explore the coast on jet skis
Prefer experiences you can take at your own pace? Jet ski rental might be the best option for you. Book jet skis in Torrevieja and take to the seas on your very own tour (after a little bit of essential training). You can rent jet skis for around two hours, so you can see lots of the coast and have plenty of fun on the water.
5. Fly over the treetops on a zip-wire
Prefer the air to the water? No problem! The Lo Rufete Adventure Park is very close to Torrevieja and boasts tons of brilliant adventurous activities you can try – including ziplining (not to mention horse riding, archery and paintball)! The park’s zipline is over 150 metres long, so you can feel as if you’re soaring high above the treetops in this scenic local spot.
