Menorca: Full-Day Boat Tour with Paella Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 934 reviews · 7 - 9 hours · from $65

Menorca south-coast boat tour from Ciutadella with swimming at Cala en Turqueta and Son Saura, plus paella lunch onboard.

“Great trip. We personally enjoyed the 2 beach stops and the boat slides directly to the sea below. The paella was ok, not the tastiest or with the best variety of ingredients I ever tasted, but good enough for a quick lunch in a boat. We also got a choice of sangria or soft drinks with it, and a taste of a Menorcan typical drink called Pomada made with a local Gin and Lemonade. The boat was kind of old, but comfortable for the amount of people in our tour. The crew was helpful at all times, and snacks, ice cream and drinks are available at all times. Great trip…”

“This was a great cooking class. The market tour could have been a little more extensive, however we were there on NYE, so it was busy. The little extra bits of knowledge as we walked thru the street was greatly appreciated as to the canapés as we worked on our paella cooking skills. A very helpful chef/guide and would highly recommend to anyone. The serving substantial as well as the wine.”
