Menorca Hidden Beaches Catamaran Tour

If you’re seeking a day away from the crowds to enjoy Menorca’s natural beauty, this 4-hour catamaran trip offers just that — exploring pristine coves that are only accessible by sea, with plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the Mediterranean sunshine. For just $160 per person, you’ll cruise aboard a modern Lagoon 42, guided by a friendly skipper and host, who aim to make this a comfortable yet adventurous experience. The tour visits Cala Trebalúge and Cala Fustam, two secluded spots that promise quiet, crystal-clear waters and scenic surroundings.

What we love most? First, the chance to escape the busy beaches and discover hidden gems that you won’t find in guidebooks — these coves feel like your own private paradise. Second, the relaxed, small-group atmosphere (limited to just 11 guests) means you’re not lost in a crowd, and the crew can give personalized tips and attention.

A possible drawback? The tour is weather-dependent; if the skies turn gloomy or the seas rough, your trip might be rescheduled or canceled. Also, it’s only four hours, so if you’re a serious beach lover or want more extensive exploration, this might feel a bit brief.

This experience suits travelers who want a relaxing, authentic day on the water—perfect for those who appreciate intimate settings, good company, and stunning views. Families with children (over a certain age) and anyone eager for a taste of Menorca’s secret beaches will find it especially rewarding.
