What to expect

Fishing villages, country estates, local products and world-class views. The rural heart of Menorca is a joy to explore. This tour ticks all the boxes, with visits to Fornells, Binissues, El Toro and more. Along the way, you'll get to sample some of the island's renowned cheeses. Nicola, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Binissues is one of my favourite spots. You step back in time here, see cheesemaking, admire the old manor house with original furniture and enjoy the best views of the Menorcan countryside.'

Your rural Menorca adventure kicks off in the postcard-worthy north coast village of Fornells. Wander through the maze of whitewashed alleys that meander down to the harbour. Lined with palm trees and traditional llaüt fishing boats, it's a picture of perfection. Next up is a pit stop to see the Platges de Fornells, famed for their landscaped cactus gardens. Then, you'll head to the highest point of the island – El Toro. Enjoy views of the coast and countryside, and pop into the lovely chapel on the summit for a refreshment.

We then go into full countryside mode at the stately manor of Binissues. See how the island's trademark mahonés cheese is made – and taste it along with other local delicacies – and wander the manicured gardens or say hello to the host of farm animals. Inside, there's a large collection of insects, which the kids will love. Finally, you'll have the best seats in the house at Son Martorellet, a renowned horse stables. Watch as horses from the island's endemic Menorquin breed are trained by local trainers and riders.

    Unscheduled stop at Factory shop, and too long at Fornells. The tour would have benefited from more time at Binissues Manor and Mt. Torres.

Mahon Harbour Boat Tour with Mahon Market and Gin Distillery

What better way to spend a few hours than discovering and savouring the delights of Mahon, Menorca's history-steeped capital? On this morning tour, you'll enjoy a harbour boat trip, have free time to explore the old town on market day and visit a historic distillery. Nicola, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘If you scratch beneath the surface, you'll find the British influence in many older buildings such as sash windows, panelled doors, lunettes and more. A uniquely Menorquin touch is the ruby-red paint on these houses.'First up is a glass-bottom boat trip in Mahon harbour – the second largest in the world. Glide between fortified islets and admire the opulent villas lining the waterfront on either side. Some date from the 18th century, when Menorca was a British colony. Next, it's on to the old Xoriguer gin distillery. Menorca's favourite tipple has been made here, using the same recipe, since 1736 – yet another symbol of the island's British heritage.There's also free time to wander around Mahon under your own steam, admiring its Georgian town houses, baroque churches, palm-lined squares and narrow, cobbled streets. Head to the centrally located Plaza del Carme, where there's a market of vendors hawking everything from cured meats to fresh fruit under the cloisters of a 17th-century convent. The local square-shaped cheese is highly regarded throughout Spain.

Mahon Harbour, Binibeca & Xoroi Cave Tour
Excursions & day trips

Mahon Harbour, Binibeca & Xoroi Cave Tour

You'll discover Menorca by land and sea, and inside out, on this full day tour. Activities include a Mahon harbour boat trip and visits to the whitewashed Binibeca, Xoroi Cave and the settlement of Trepuco, one of the largest settlements of the prehistoric Talaiotic culture on the island. Nicola, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Legend has it that the Xoroi cave was once the refuge of a man named Xoroi, who was shipwrecked during a storm and found shelter in the cave. The lore continues with tales of him falling in love with a local girl, leading to a romantic yet tragic story that adds an air of mystique to this stunning location'.The fun kicks off with a boat trip around Mahon harbour. At 5km long, it's one of the world's largest natural harbours. It's fringed by historic buildings, fortifications and dotted with islands. Back on dry land, there's a tour of Mahon town followed by some free time. Nicola adds, ‘Reminders of the century-long British rule are still visible to this day – you can see sash and bow windows, door latches and handles just as you would in the UK.' Then, discover the sugar-cube village of Binibeca and its whitewashed homes.Just a little further east along the coast, you'll find the Cova d'en Xoroi, a bar uniquely set within a cave on a cliff face. Here, you can sip on a refreshing drink while soaking in the breathtaking sea views from what is undoubtedly Menorca's coolest bar. To round off the day, step back in time with a visit to the Trepucó Historical Monument, two of the settlement's oldest stone structures, built around 3,000 years ago.
