- The Rock of Gibraltar - This popular Gibraltar tour offers a visit to Europa Point, known as the Pillars of Hercules. Guests will explore the Nature Reserve, home to the Barbary ape. Highlights include St. Michael’s Cave and Princess Catherine’s Battery, followed by the Moorish Castle’s Tower of Homage.
The tour weaves through tunnels with a local professional English-speaking guide, arriving at Europa Point, the southernmost point of Gibraltar, a British Territory adjoining the Spanish mainland. Near the cruise port stands the majestic Gibraltar Rock, a vast limestone formation rising 1,398 feet above sea level.
The breathtaking views from the summit, stretching across the Strait of Gibraltar toward northern Africa and the Mons Abyla rock formation, are sure to leave a lasting impression. Together, the Rock of Gibraltar and Mons Abyla form the mythical Pillars of Hercules, and the guide will share the legend of Hercules along the way.
-
Upper Rock Nature Reserve - After the rock, the tour continues to the Upper Rock and its popular Nature Reserve, home to the famous Barbary macaque apes. Here, guests can enjoy interacting with the “Rock Apes.”
-
St. Michael’s Cave - Next, the tour enters St. Michael’s Cave, a beautiful limestone cave located 980 feet above sea level. The cave’s acoustics and atmospheric setting make it an ideal venue for events and concerts.
Please note that the vans are not wheelchair or scooter accessible.
The tour then visits Princess Caroline’s Battery, named after the daughter of King George II and developed in 1732. Originally a military structure, it helped cement Britain’s claim to Gibraltar. Guests also view the aged Tower of Homage at the Moorish Castle, whose walls bear the scars of Spanish cannons from the siege years.
To conclude the tour in style, the group heads into the centre for some duty-free shopping. This tour typically operates in small groups and is the top choice for cruise passengers porting in Gibraltar.
