This natural phenomenon showcases stalagmites and stalactites, a series of twisting subterranean passageways and an unexpected amphitheater used as a concert hall. Cathedral Cave was given its name because the formations hanging from the walls resemble organ pipes.

Calling all hikers, adventurers, nature enthusiasts and photographers; set your sights and cameras on the unspoiled beauty of Gibraltar's environs on this energetic tour that takes you off the beaten path and up the side of the Rock! This is a challenging excursion with three hours devoted to ascending and descending the Rock over steep and often uneven steps, so be sure to wear comfortable and sturdy shoes and comfortable, lightweight clothing.

A rapid ascent of the Rock of Gibraltar affords spectacular views of Europe, Africa and the sparkling Mediterranean. The cable cars travel 1,300-feet as you admire panoramic views that extend over 30 miles. This limestone landmark has withstood centuries of conflict and stands today as a symbol of power and fortitude. The top station of your climb is steeped in military history and home to the acrobatic Barbary apes. How these cinnamon-colored primates came to inhabit the island is the stuff of legend, with some believing the monkeys made their way through the cave tunnels all the way from Africa.

Have your binoculars and camera ready for this 90-minute adventure along the Bay of Gibraltar in search of the three species of dolphins found in the waters - the Common, Striped and Bottlenose dolphins.

To witness this incredible sight in-person defies description. Make sure you have your camera ready at all times to capture this thrilling experience. At the conclusion of your outing, the boat will return to the pier and to your awaiting motorcoach. The tour concludes at the ship, but you may choose to make your own way into town from the ferry terminal to browse and shop. You are then responsible for your return to the ship via taxi or walking.

The tailless monkeys also known as Barbary apes are the only free-roaming monkeys in Europe. Mysteriously inhabiting the area for centuries, they are believed to have made their way onto The Rock through underground caves or were perhaps imported by sailors and pirates who brought them over from Africa on voyages. The apes are well cared for by the Gibraltar Ornithological and Natural History Society and are given fresh food and water every day to supplement what can be found in the wild.

Designed to give you a comprehensive overview of Gibraltar, this 2.5 hour mini-coach tour showcases the city's must-see sights, as well as a walking tour of the 18th century fortress known as King's Bastion, which once formed a platform for artillery to protect the area against a coastal attack. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a camera to document the arresting sights you'll encounter during your tour.
