To visit a selection of the best beaches in the south of Menorca, it is more comfortable to go by boat.

Take a dip in the sea and make the most of snorkeling gear or stand up paddle boards if you wish.

Get more out of your time in Menorca by swapping tours of mainland sights for a scenic boat trip. Travel along the island’s south coast and access idyllic beaches that would be hard to reach otherwise—such as Cala Macarella, Cala Turqueta, and Son Saura. As well as viewing the magnificent scenery from the deck, the tour factors in free time to hop off the boat and explore the beaches and coves up close.

Cap off a perfect vacation day by exploring the west coast of Menorca on a sunset cruise. Take in the views as you cruise, from the old port of Ciutadella to the Cap d'Artrutx Lighthouse, and the natural stone arch of Pont D'en Gil, as the sun sets over the sea.

Your trip includes complimentary snacks and beverages. Numbers are limited to 10–12 people for a small-group experience.

Avoid the crowds on land and enjoy unobstructed views of Menorca’s coastline on a boat trip to secluded beaches that are only accessible by water.
