Gibraltar is best appreciated on foot and in the company of a knowledgeable guide. Learn about the natural wonders, local flora and fauna, splendid views and military fortification Gibraltar has to offer. Your transport will drive you around the Rock to view the huge catchment area and Catalan Bay.
Ascend by road to the Upper Rock to admire St Michael's Cave. St. Michael's Cave has undergone a transformation in summer 2021, with a technology-led installation, creating a brand-new immersive experience inside the natural attraction. Opened to the public in summer 2021, ‘The Awakening’ highlights the history of the famous cave, explaining how the geological formation came to be through 360° light projection combined with immersive spatial audio.
A minibus will take you to the Apes' Den -- home of Barbary apes. These cheeky monkeys will take anything they can get their hands on, so keep your possessions close!
A five-minute drive north brings you to the entrance to the Upper Galleries -- the Great Siege Tunnels. You will enter this system of tunnels carved out of solid limestone, commenced in 1782 by the forerunners of the Royal Engineers. Today they stand as a monument to ingenuity and engineering.
Drive past the Moorish Castle to enter the heart of the city. Guests who wish to stay in town for duty-free shopping or to explore independently are welcome to do so but must make their own way back to the ship.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Participants must climb more than 75 steps to exit the cave; there are some gravel surfaces. Due to transportation constraints, scooters, wheelchairs and walkers cannot be accommodated on tour. You can use your mobility aid to reach the transportation; then, it will be stored in the cruise terminal until you return from your tour.
