-What you can expect-
Menorca boasts the biggest, natural harbour in the Mediterranean. And, it's only from the water that you can really admire all its islets, fortifications, villas and coves. So, this hour-long catamaran cruise is just the ticket for taking in the views along Mahon's five-kilometre-long harbour without having to lift a finger.

You'll have ample space to watch the harbour's quaint promenade, seafront eateries and historic monuments as you glide through the waters. Keep an eye open for all the nooks and crannies while the on-board commentary regales with legends that colour the island's past. One of the oldest naval hospitals in Europe, Menorca's first quarantine island and a seafront colonial house once occupied by Admiral Nelson are just a few of the sites you'll see.

What's more, it's a glass-bottom catamaran, so the lower deck is ideal for underwater viewing and watching the sea bed and creatures from the comfort of the boat. There's just enough of a taster of Menorca to whet your appetite for more exploration.
