Immerse yourself in one of the paradises of the Mediterranean Sea.
Snorkeling in Menorca is one of those experiences you will never forget. With its incredibly clear waters, protected biodiversity and secret corners all along the coast, the island offers perfect conditions to enjoy the sea from the inside. And the best part: you don’t need experience, just the desire to discover what lies beneath the surface.
Menorca is Biosphere Reserve since 1993 and has several protected marine areas, such as the northern one between Cap de Cavalleria and Fornells. This translates into a clean, well-kept environment full of marine life that you can observe from very close.
