Operated by Moonfish Glassbottom Catamaran · Cala Millor, Illes Balears
Located along Mallorca’s northeastern coastline, Cala Millor serves as the gateway to one of the island’s most striking natural attractions: the Cuevas de Artà. Operated exclusively by Moonfish Glassbottom Catamaran, the Cala Ratjada Express ferry offers a seamless blend of maritime transport and outdoor adventure for travelers eager to witness these dramatic sea caves. Setting off each morning at 9:45 a.m. from Cala Millor’s pier, this 25-minute catamaran ride threads the coastline, revealing rugged cliffs and shimmering turquoise waters before delivering passengers to the cave entrance near the tranquil bay of Canyamel.
The Cuevas de Artà stand out for their towering limestone formations and deep caverns carved over millennia by the Mediterranean’s southern winds and waves. Visitors have approximately two hours to experience the caves’ naturally sculpted chambers illuminated by soft, natural light filtering in through high openings. The caves’ clear views over the bay create an almost otherworldly effect, inviting a connection with Mallorca’s geological heritage and coastal ecosystem. The journey also skirts Costa de los Pinos and Cala Bona, adding variety to the scenery.
Moonfish Glassbottom Catamaran distinguishes itself in Mallorca’s outdoor recreation scene through its elegant vessel design—complete with glass-bottom features—to enhance maritime visibility en route. Unlike typical tour boats, the Cala Ratjada Express makes this a smooth, informative, and intimate trip suitable for all ages. The business’s commitment to daily departures (except Saturdays) and small-group experiences helps preserve the caves' pristine condition and supports sustainable tourism. Physical readiness is advised due to a climb of roughly 150 steps at the cave site, but the easy pace and stunning rewards make it accessible.
Whether you’re drawn by Mallorca’s coastal charm or the thrill of geological wonders, this trip merges sea and stone into a memorable outdoor excursion far from the beaten path.
