Snorkeling in Menorca: 3-hour boat trip with paddle surfing

Two snorkel stops and a paddle surfing break on the same boat, one in a protected marine reserve

A 3-hour snorkeling and paddle surfing boat trip along Menorca's southeast coast with two stops in the water, one inside the Marine Reserve of Menorca. The boat is skippered by an experienced guide who speaks English, Spanish, Italian or French, and all snorkeling gear and stand-up paddle boards are provided. Children from age 3 are welcome, and the trip suits all fitness levels.

The experience

The boat leaves for the southeast coast and makes two stops for snorkeling: one of them inside the Marine Reserve of Menorca, where the seabed is the draw. Between water time, you get a stand-up paddle surfing break. The route reaches hidden coves and caves only reachable from the sea, and the skipper knows which ones the weather allows on the day you go. Soda and pop are on board.

You bring nothing but yourself: snorkeling equipment, masks, fins and the stand-up paddle boards are all there. The Marine Reserve stop carries a fee, which is included in the price. The whole thing runs 3 hours, and the pace is set by the boat and the two water stops, not by how fast you want to move through them.

What’s included

• Snorkeling equipment and stand-up paddle boards.
• transport by boat along the southeast coast.
• two snorkeling stops, one inside the Marine Reserve of Menorca.
• Marine Reserve entry fee.
• soda and pop on board.

Is this one for you?The guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian or French, so if you're comfortable in any of those languages, you'll follow the skipper's commentary without translation. The boat is shared, which means you're not paying for a private charter: the cost stays lower and the group stays small enough to move between the two snorkeling stops and the paddle surfing break without long waits.
