The pristine waters of Menorca are a real holiday memory. They are amazingly clear so even with just a simple snorkel you will see lots, not murky haze. And because the water is in such good condition you'll see lots of fish too. Snorkel Safari or stop off as part of a diving centre or Boat excursions.
With its warm crystal clear waters, many underwater caves and coral-clad rock formations, Menorca is recognized as one of the most spectacular dive sites in the western Mediterranean.
Cala Galdana - Dive Centres
A fun family activity, paddle around Cala galdana bay or for more adventurous explore sea caves and along the coast to virgin beach bays. Or along Menorca's unspoilt coastline as part of a professional tour
Kayaking ActivitiesThere are riding tours on the south coast ( Cala Mitajna and surounding ) easy trails 80% through shading pine woods ( great in summer heat ). The beautiful Alganer valley along the ancient Camí Reial. North coast beaches Binimel·là, Cala Mica and (Cavalleria) and coastline upto Cavalleria Cape lighthouse.
Like most of Menorca this is more Natural, so don't expect too many cycle lanes. Better to use the off road tracks and marked routes as the little roads that make up much of the country network have lots of blind corners.
