Detailed description

Excursion to Cabrera & the Blue Grotto

Visit the protected Cabrera Archipelago off the coast of Mallorca! Dive into the crystal clear waters of the "Blue Grotto", marvel at unspoilt beaches, bird colonies and fishing grounds. Cabrera boats carry the Spanish Blue Flag, which guarantees that all Cabrera excursions are carried out in accordance with strict environmental regulations.

Cabrera's rich history and stunning natural beauty make it an ideal destination at the gateway to Mallorca. Thanks to the modern and fast fleet of boats, the crossing takes a maximum of 45 minutes (depending on the type of boat), leaving plenty of time to explore the island. Of course, all trips to Cabrera include a stop at the famous Blue Grotto, with its shimmering blue waters.

Cabrera is a protected nature reserve because of its endemic flora and fauna and the huge Neptune grass meadows off the coast. Strict regulations (only a limited number of boats are allowed to enter Cabrera each day) have helped to preserve this unique natural beauty, so you can enjoy swimming and snorkelling in crystal clear waters with a wide variety of species. Cabrera also offers beautiful, unspoilt countryside and stunning, tranquil natural beaches. Relaxation is guaranteed on a trip to Cabrera!

Great

Super nice tour. We booked it without land. The blue grotto was beautiful. The ride in the speedboat was exciting. :-)

Also nice with children

Our little ones were inspired by the speedboat ride, also by the Blue Grotto. The landing was especially nice for us, but it was very hot, so it was a little tiring. But the speedboat trip was refreshing.

Auch mit Kindern schön

Unsere Kleinen waren begeistern von der Speedboot-Fahrt, auch von der Blauen Grotte. Der Landgang war vorallem für uns sehr schön, aber es war sehr heiß, daher war es etwas anstrengend. Dafür war die Speedboot-Fahrt erfrischend.

Funny day!

By boat to Cabrera, where one has to inquire about everything enough time super tip of Lighthouse about 8 km away. The hike up there is worth in any case. Super views from there directly above the bay. Blue Grotto - TOP!

Lustiger Tag!

Mit dem Boot nach Cabrera, wo man genug Zeit hat um alles zu erkundigen, super Tipp der Leuchtturm ca. 8 km entfernt.
Die Wanderung bis dorthin lohnt auf jeden Fall. Super Aussichten von dort oben direkt auf die Bucht. Blaue Grotte - TOP!

Meet a new corner of Mallorca

We made the middle of May the 6 hour tour with landing on the Cabrera main island. There we had about 4 hours at leisure. After a trip to the castle, from which one has a great view, we then walked along the natural harbor to the beaches. These are, unfortunately, quite small, and only the first one is a sandy beach. Next to the lighthouse, we are then not migrated because it was already mid-May rather hot. So I would recommend the tour with landing tended to be in spring or autumn. The Blue Grotto is the way really as impressive blue like the pictures!

Eine neue Ecke von Mallorca kennenlernen

Wir haben Mitte Mai die 6 Stunden Tour mit Landung auf der Cabrera Hauptinsel gemacht. Dort hatten wir dann etwa 4 Stunden zur freien Verfügung. Nach einem Ausflug zu der Burg, von der man einen tollen Ausblick hat, sind wir dann entlang des Naturhafens zu den Stränden gelaufen. Diese sind leider ziemlich klein und nur der erste ist ein Sandstrand.
Weiter zum Leuchtturm sind wir dann nicht gewandert, da es schon Mitte Mai ziemlich heiß war. Deswegen würde ich die Tour mit Landung tendenziell eher im Frühjahr oder Herbst empfehlen.
Die blaue Grotte ist übrigens wirklich so beeindruckend blau wie auf den Bildern!
