Discover the Treasure Cave: Unique Electric Car Tour in Málaga

Julianne_S, Apr 2026

Fun time!

We really enjoyed this excursion. The cars were sitting right at the port when we got off of the ship. Was fun driving the little electric cars around the city and seeing the sites. The cave was really neat and a fun time. Beautiful views through out the day! Would definitely recommend!

So much fun!

This was such a fun tour! We absolutely loved it. Malaga was beautiful, the cars were easy to operate and the tour guide even helped us navigate through traffic (there are walkie talkies and GPS navigation in each car so you can follow the tour guide), and the cave and views were a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Great fun and unexpected!

The tour was really fun and interesting. The description makes it sound like you take the electric car through the caves, that is not accurate. You drive the cute car to the caves and then are left on your own using an app on your phone to get a good description of what you are seeing. There is a considerable amount of walking on rough, uneven, damp ground with a lot of steps. I do not recommend for anyone with mobility issues. That being said, it still was an amazing place to visit. The insides of the cave are totally unexpected and beautiful. There is a stunning underground lake, that is amazing. Definitely a great and unique experience. In addition a tour around town was included on the drive that really gave us a feel for the area layout. Great concept with the cute cars, they offer tours as well using the cars. The guides in the lead car were really nice and knowledgeable.

Loved this! So fun and informative

Fantastic day out 5⭐️ The attention to detail was next level. Very informative, but not too much boring information. No script - it was adjusted based on interests and questions we asked. And nipping around the city in these cars was so much fun. They feel brand new, very comfortable and easy to drive. Sat nav in the vehicle with a GPS tour guide was a lovely touch. But Gemma and her husband are on the walkie talkie constantly giving local insights and lots of information. The caves were beautiful, and despite already doing a bike tour the day before, we got to see so many bits of the city and local towns you we hadn’t yet experienced. Worth every penny.

Nice alternative to a standard tour of the city

We really enjoyed this tour with Alex and Gemma. It was fun to drive the car throughout parts of Malaga. Alex made certain we all stayed together and the car was easy to drive. We also enjoyed the treasure caves along with the views of the city from the hillside. Pickup and drop off at the cruise port went very well also.
