Glass‑bottom catamarans, pirate caves and back‑deck slides off Porto Cristo.
From Porto Cristo you can board Mallorca Sea Paradise catamarans for short bursts of sea air or half‑day voyages that thread bays, caves and natural arches. The operator runs vessels equipped with glass‑bottom viewing and rear slides; excursions range from quick 1‑hour loops to more deliberate 5‑hour runs that include multiple swim stops and time ashore on select itineraries.

Outing Highlights
Glass‑bottom catamarans with back‑deck slides
All the catamarans on these runs are fitted with underwater‑vision windows and two slides off the stern—simple, playful hardware that turns a sightseeing cruise into something more tactile for families and adventurous swimmers.
Pirate caves, marine grottos and a natural bridge
The itineraries repeatedly call out Cueva del Pirata and other marine caves, along with the Puente Natural de Cala Varques—geologic features and hidden coves that form the narrative spine of the excursions.
Multiple bathing stops among secluded coves
Several itineraries include designated 'parada de baño' stops—sites such as Cala Morlanda and coves around Cala Millor and Sa Coma—where the boat anchors and passengers can swim in the clear Mediterranean.
What the day feels like
What the excursion feels like
The rhythm is straightforward: choose the length that suits you, board in Porto Cristo, and watch the coast unfold—rocky coves, low cliffs punctuated with caves, then the occasional shallow lagoon where the boat pauses for a swim or a closer look. Shorter runs concentrate on the nearest coves and caves; longer departures push east toward Cala Millor, Sa Coma and Cap Vermell, with time for a second swim stop and, on some routes, a boat transfer between vessels.
