Maro Waterfall Boat Trip
The only waterfall that falls directly into the sea in Spain — and the only way to reach it is by boat.
The Maro-Cerro Gordo Nature Reserve hides one of the most spectacular corners of the Costa Tropical: a freshwater waterfall cascading into the Mediterranean, surrounded by vertical cliffs, sea caves, and coves impossible to reach by land.
At Alborán Charters we take your group to the Maro Waterfall on whichever boat best suits your needs — no licence required, with your own licence, or with a skipper aboard vessels up to 15 metres.
