Operated by Moonfish Glassbottom Catamaran · Cala Rajada, Illes Balears
Located on the northeastern coast of Mallorca, Cala Ratjada serves as the vibrant launching point for Moonfish Glassbottom Catamaran’s standout journey to the Cuevas de Artà in Canyamel. This trip blends coastal cruising with a hands-on encounter of one of Mallorca’s most dramatic natural landmarks—the Cuevas de Artà. The 35-minute boat ride skirts the rugged shoreline of the Península de Llevant Natural Park, carving past limestone cliffs that meet crystalline Mediterranean waters, setting the stage for an unforgettably immersive coastal adventure.
Moonfish’s catamaran offers a unique vantage point to absorb the scenery beneath and above the water’s surface. Guests witness the colorful underwater ecosystem through the glass bottom as seabirds wheel overhead and the coastline unfolds with quiet coves and pine-streaked slopes.
Upon arrival in Canyamel, the journey shifts from sea to stone. A 20-minute hike, moderately steep and over uneven terrain, leads explorers into the Cuevas de Artà. These caves reveal vast chambers adorned with striking stalactites and stalagmites, shaped over millennia by the slow drip of mineral-rich waters. The guided tour illuminates both the geological marvels and local cultural significance, including stories passed down from fishermen and villagers who revered the caves as refuges and places of mystery.
The trip also highlights Canyamel’s charming harbor and scenic bay, ideal for those interested in capturing the blend of nature and coastal life in their raw form. Moonfish’s combined boat and cave experience stands apart in Mallorca’s outdoor offerings by seamlessly connecting marine adventure, natural history, and cultural heritage. This journey is ideal for travelers looking to deepen their connection to Mallorca’s coastline beyond the usual beach day, making it a genuine highlight for adventure seekers in the Balearics.
