Benidorm and the Marina Baixa are renowned for their beaches and for their unique climate.  Less known however are the country roads, perfect for admiring the beautiful scenery on the back of a motor bike.

With this idea in mind Marina Moto Tours was formed in April 2010.  The company takes advantage of the fantastic topographical features of the area to offer a guided excursion in the saddle of a BMW G 650. This light weight machine, gives an added class and luxury to the excursion which is perfect for all fans of this two-wheeled vehicle.  A class A driving license and to be over 30 years of age are the only requirement to enjoy the excursion.

The tour starts with a familiarization session to ensure safety, then the tour begins.  It lasts for approximately five hours, taking you to places of great cultural interest, hidden lakes and caves in the mountains.  A total of 150 kilometers with more than 1.700 bends and a lunch stop to enjoy the local cuisine.

The company also offers a hire service with all the necessary equipment a biker may require: boots, jackets, gloves etc.

The excursion has proved very popular and so Marina Moto Tours has decided to include a new route aboard a 125c.c Vespa, another pleasurable experience on this unique vehicle. This route follows the coastline and interior villages ending with a “Paella” a typical dish of the region in a restaurant by the coast.  This offer complements the other activities available to tourists that come to the area and is popular with all those seasoned bikers.  Known as “La Marina Country Roads” this excursion raises awareness of the magnificent roads the region has with very little traffic and spectacular views.
