Setting Sail on a Family Adventure

As a travel writer and a mother of three, I’m always on the lookout for family-friendly adventures that offer both fun and a touch of education. Our recent trip to Ciutadella de Menorca was no exception, and the Menorca Beach Tour was the highlight of our journey. The day began with a short drive from the center of Ciutadella to the departure port, where we found ample parking and a welcoming crew ready to guide us on our maritime adventure.

The boat, operated by Menorca Blava, was spacious and well-equipped for families. With two floors, there was plenty of room for everyone to find their perfect spot. My kids loved the top deck, where they could soak up the sun and enjoy the breathtaking views, while I appreciated the shaded areas below, perfect for a relaxing lunch. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable journey.

As we set sail, the coastline of Menorca unfolded before us, revealing its natural beauty. The staff provided insightful commentary about the sights, including the fascinating Two Floor Cave and Garage Cave. It was a wonderful opportunity for the kids to learn about the island’s geology and history, all while enjoying the stunning scenery.

Exploring Hidden Coves

Our first stop was Son Saura Beach, a pristine stretch of sand where we had nearly two hours to explore. While some families chose to relax on the beach, we opted for a short hike along the Camí de Cavalls to Cala Es Talaier. The trail was easy enough for the kids to manage, and the reward was a secluded bay with the clearest, most turquoise water I’ve ever seen. It was a snorkeling paradise, and my children were thrilled to spot colorful fish darting through the water.

Back on the boat, we were treated to a delicious lunch of paella, with options for seconds, accompanied by refreshing sangria or orange juice. The meal was a hit with the whole family, and the organization was impeccable, ensuring everyone was well-fed and happy.

The journey continued past the famous coves of Cala Macarella and Cala Macarelleta, which we admired from a distance. The anticipation built as we approached Cala Turqueta, our next stop. Known for its turquoise-blue waters and stunning landscape, it was a place of pure magic. We chose to spend our time on the beach, where the kids enjoyed jumping off rocks and swimming in the natural pool-like waters.

A Day to Remember

As the day drew to a close, we reluctantly made our way back to the boat, savoring the last moments of our beach adventure. The return journey was filled with laughter and shared stories of our favorite moments. The Menorca Beach Tour had exceeded all expectations, offering a perfect blend of relaxation, exploration, and family bonding.

For families seeking a memorable day out in Menorca, this tour is a must. The combination of stunning beaches, friendly staff, and well-organized activities made it a standout experience. Whether you’re looking to relax on the sand, explore hidden coves, or simply enjoy a day on the water, this tour has something for everyone. It’s a day we won’t soon forget, and I can’t wait to share more of our adventures with you in the future.
