The southeastern coast of Mallorca harbors pockets of history and natural beauty that invite travelers to savor the island beyond its usual sun-and-sand appeal. The shuttle boat trip offered by Moonfish Glassbottom Catamaran, departing from Calas de Mallorca to Porto Cristo, delivers an intimate window into this coastal world—a three-hour adventure punctuated by stunning sea caves, vibrant underwater scenes, and a two-hour pause in a port that’s as rich in history as it is in character.
Moonfish’s glass-bottom boat is specially designed to reveal the sparkling Mediterranean floor below, allowing passengers to glimpse underwater rock formations, native fish, and sea flora without ever getting wet. The route wends near impressive caves carved into limestone cliffs, remnants of geological forces millions of years shaping Mallorca’s coastline. At some points, the boat slows or briefly enters the cave mouths, creating a unique fusion of marine exploration and cultural sightseeing.
Porto Cristo, the journey’s halfway mark, offers a welcome stretch of authentic local life. This harbor town, once a Roman port and site of significant historical events—including a pivotal landing during the Spanish Civil War—invites visitors to walk its quaint streets, relax on calm beaches, or sample seafood dishes at waterfront terraces. Its coastline reveals the silhouette of an old shipwreck in shallow waters, a haunting but fascinating reminder of the town's layered past.
