Peacock island boat trip around 14 euros per person, pick up point is the harbour inbetween levante beach and poniente beach.
Boat trip takes about 20 minutes to get to the island ,when you arrived you can get on a glass bottom boat bit like a submarine for a quick trip around the island which is included in price. My 4 year old daughter really loved it, There is a little bar on the island where you can enjoy a drink or dinner whilst waiting for the boat to pick you back up.
At the end of the trip, you can purchase a dish with your photo on it for 10 euro.

FLIGHTS TO BENIDORM
I book early every year with easyjet for flights to Alicante to get a good price.
I have never been delayed or had any sort of problem what so ever.
If travelling with children aged 5 or under you will have priority boarding.

AIRPORT TRANSFERS
There are many bus companies there offer shuttle trips from alicante airport to benidorm with returns.
I personally have used resort hopper and travelrepublic for the past 7 years.
The local bus company Alsa runs buses direct from airport and return every hour.
Taxis are fairly expensive at around 60 euro for single trip from alicante airport to benidorm.
