Top Menorca Layover Tours

Skip the traffic and parking problems on your beach day, and board a boat to get to and from Cala Galdana the easy way. This fuss-free option gives you roughly two hours of free time at the picturesque bay that's beloved by families for its soft sands, shallow waters, and pine forest shade.

See the sunny southern coast of Menorca minus the beachside crowds in one relaxing half-day boat trip. Ideal if you're short on time, this option includes time to swim and enjoy water sports, plus a scenic route past hideaway coves and white sand beaches, many of which are tricky to access from land. Cala Turqueta, Cala Macarella, and a one-hour stop at Cala Trebaluger are among the coastal highlights.

Spend a memorable morning or afternoon cruising around Menorca’s northern coasts on a catamaran trip from Fornells. Hop aboard a spacious, modern catamaran with a professional skipper and crew, and sail over the sapphire waters of the island’s northern maritime reserve. Follow an easterly or westerly route decided by your skipper; glide by craggy cliffs, pine-coated headlands, and idyllic beaches; and visit hidden coves to swim, snorkel or just relax. 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. Traveling with a guide means you’ll tick off natural attractions with ease, and maximize your chances of spotting marine life such as dolphins. Plus, included lunch and round-trip hotel transfers make for a seamless experience.

Spend a delightful evening on a sunset sail with a small group. Begin the tour with swimming and snorkeling in a secluded cove, and then get your cameras ready as the sun dips below the horizon lighting up the sky with color. Enjoy the calm glide of the sailboat (no motor is used 90% of the time), and watch as dusk falls and the night skyline comes alive. Enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks on board the sail boat.

Experience Menorca’s natural beauty and the Northern Menorca Nature Reserve by kayak with this half-day kayak rental. Explore hidden beaches, caves, grottoes, and coves such as Cala Blanca and English Man’s Cove and stop along the way to swim, sunbathe on beautiful and isolated beaches, and enjoy refreshments. Instruction provided.

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.
