Why come here

Menorca is about sea caves: the Pont d'en Gil near Ciutadella, the island's best-known cave dive, and the cluster of caves at Cap d'en Font on the south coast. Most are cavern dives with daylight, haloclines and air domes, which dive centres only run guided; Scorpion Cave and the Organ Loft call for full cave (Scorpion Cave also sidemount) and Fossil Cave for intro-to-cave. Diving inside underwater caves is prohibited in the two marine reserves, Nord de Menorca and Illa de l'Aire. No trimix, sorb or CCR service was found on the island, so arrange your own and ask in advance. Ciutadella is the base.

Don't miss

  • Cueva del Pont d'en Gil: a wide crack leads into a tunnel with stalactites and stalagmites, two large air domes and a small beach at the back.
  • Moon Pool (Pozo de la Luna): over large round boulders you reach a round chamber and rise through a freshwater layer into the small air dome that gives the cave its name.
  • La Catedral (Cap d'en Font): through a huge entrance you swim to a large air dome with stalactites, and with your light off you see the entrance glow blue.
  • Scorpion Cave: beyond a narrow passage a tunnel of about 200 m runs to the Belltower, in a cave that is little known and rarely dived.

On a rest day

  • Naveta des Tudons: A prehistoric tomb shaped like an upturned boat near Ciutadella, part of Talayotic Menorca on the World Heritage list.
  • Camí de Cavalls: The historic path of about 185 km around the whole island, past cliffs and coves.
  • Monte Toro: Menorca's highest point, with a sanctuary and views across the island.
