Set sail from Porto Cristo, a charming town on the eastern coast of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands, Spain, on an engaging maritime adventure aboard the GLASSBOTTOM MOONFISH. This boat tour offers an exceptional way to explore the rugged coastline, famous for its stunning sea caves, turquoise waters, and hidden coves like Cala Varques. Ideal for families, adventure seekers, and nature lovers, the excursion invites you to immerse yourself in the Mediterranean marine landscape while relaxing on an innovative glass-bottom vessel that reveals underwater wonders beneath the boat’s hull.
