Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll enjoy a sightseeing boat tour in the vast and history-steeped Mahon harbour

  • The tour visits the Cova d'en Xoroi Cave, where you'll learn about the legend of a shipwrecked man

  • The tour is led by an expert local guide with an unrivalled knowledge of the Menorca and its heritage
What to expect

You'll discover Menorca by land and sea, and inside out, on this full day tour. Activities include a Mahon harbour boat trip and visits to the whitewashed Binibeca and Xoroi Cave. Nicola, one of our expert local guides, says "legend has it that the Xoroi cave was once the refuge of a man named Xoroi, who was shipwrecked during a storm and found shelter in the cave. The lore continues with tales of him falling in love with a local girl, leading to a romantic yet tragic story that adds an air of mystique to this stunning location."

The fun kicks off with a boat trip around Mahon Harbour. At five kilometres long, it's one of the world's largest natural harbours. It's fringed by historic buildings, fortifications and dotted with islands. Back on dry land, there's a tour of Mahon town followed by some free time. Nicola adds "reminders of the century-long British rule are still visible to this day – you can see sash and bow windows, door latches and handles just as you would in the UK." Then, discover the sugar-cube village of Binibeca and its whitewashed homes.

Just a little further east along the coast, you'll find the Cova d'en Xoroi, a bar uniquely set within a cave on a cliff face. Here, you can sip on a refreshing drink while soaking in the breathtaking sea views from what is undoubtedly Menorca's coolest bar.

    A really nice day trip enjoyed the boat trip around Mahon harbour an the history although it’s quite a walk from where the coach drops you off to where you pick up the boat, enjoyed the stop in Mahon city and the free time we had there looking at the shops and a bite to eat, next the stop at the caves great views but a lot of steeps down to the bar and back up to the top again , our guide was very informative telling the history of this place , all in all a really nice day out.

    Francis our tour guide was comedic and the commentary was informative throughout the day. Mahón was nice to visit although it was shame the water condition wasn’t good enough to use the glass bottom on the boat so that became a trip up the estuary and back. We enjoyed the caves with the complimentary drink and reminisced of the last time we visited years ago. Our driver Tony made the coach nice and smooth and a comfortable trip.

    The things which were interesting didn't get enough time or didn't see enough of on the cruise it would have been nice to look around the hospital and other places instead of just cruising past them
