1.Natural Coves and Beaches Boat Trip & Paella Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,753 reviews · from $63Our pick

Spend seven hours cruising from Ciutadella to Son Saura, Macarella, Macarelleta, and Cala Turqueta. You’ll have time for beach walks, swimming, and snorkeling, plus paella, sangria, and orange juice on board. The multilingual crew speaks English, French, Italian, Spanish, and German.

“Nice trip around the island, with 2 stops in 2 of the most beautiful calas in Menorca, where you get the chance to swim in crystal-clear waters (bring your snorkeling kit!). Lunch was good (paella was a solid 7/10, but sangria felt a bit watered, nothing dramatic, but worth mentioning). Yes, the trip it's worth the money, especially since you get the chance to see and experience a lot, without paying for expensive cabs to go around the island. Nice touch the possibility of entering in one of the caves with the boat and actually touch its "roof" for luckRead more”
