Cross from Europe to Africa in 35 minutes by fast ferry, then explore ancient Tangier's Medina, the Cave of Hercules and Cape Spartel with a private licensed guide. Two continents in one day — an extraordinary travel story for life.
What to expect
From the port of Tarifa (a 1.5-hr scenic drive from Gibraltar, or arrange transfer from Algeciras), the sleek FRS catamaran slices across the Strait in under 40 minutes. Your private guide meets you at Tangier Port and steers you through the 15th-century Medina — perfumed spice stalls, mosaic-tiled fountains and the legendary Café Hafa overlooking the Strait. The Cave of Hercules, where Atlantic waves thunder through a natural arch framing the African coastline, is a mythological highlight.
Good to know
This excursion requires careful timing: Gibraltar all-aboard is typically 17:00–18:00. Depart Gibraltar early (07:00) by taxi to Algeciras/Tarifa to catch a morning ferry. Ensure your passport is valid; EU/UK citizens need no visa for Morocco. Pre-book your private guide via a Tangier-based licensed guide agency or through FRS's day-trip packages.
