Off the southern coast of Menorca, the charismatic town of Ferreries anchors an outdoor scene shaped by rugged cliffs, shimmering coves, and the crystalline waters of the Balearic Sea. It’s here, departing from the gentle bay of Cala Galdana, that Amigo's Boat Trips offers a compelling 2-hour journey along some of Menorca’s most secluded beaches and mysterious sea caves. This is not a traditional sightseeing cruise; it’s a hands-on immersion into the island’s quieter coastal personality.

Set aboard a comfortable vessel equipped with a glass-bottom viewing section, guests can peer into underwater realms sparkling with marine life while anchored off sandy shores that are otherwise unreachable by land. The boat’s multilingual audio guide turns every moment into an educational experience, revealing geological narratives of limestone cliffs sculpted over millennia and the ecological uniqueness of Mediterranean flora and fauna clinging to craggy inlets.

Whether diving into turquoise waters for snorkeling or simply soaking up the sun on deck, this trip suits families and solo travelers alike. The unhurried pace invites you to unwind and appreciate Menorca’s raw beauty free from the crowds that flood its busier beaches.
