From the sheltered harbor of Cala Figuera you climb aboard a traditional Mallorcan llaüt for a full-day crossing to Cabrera National Park. The outing pairs the slow rhythm of a working wooden boat with long blue passages (around 1:45h each way) and hours ashore to explore the island, its history and its clear-water coves; the trip also includes a visit to the marine grotto known as the Cueva Azul and on-board water activities and refreshments.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Traditional Llaüt and an intimate group

The experience is delivered aboard a classic Mallorcan llaüt with a professional captain, designed as a relaxed, small-group private charter that keeps the day personal and immersive.

THE GROTTES

Swim and float inside the Cueva Azul

One of the trip’s signature moments is time spent in the Cueva Azul — a marine grotto of turquoise, crystalline water that guests can swim in and admire from the boat.

THE WATER

Snorkeling, paddle surf and on‑board refreshment

The full-day charter comes ready for water time with snorkel masks and paddle surf available, plus a complimentary bottle of Cava and light Mallorcan tasting to round out the sea day.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The outing unfolds as a measured sea voyage: a morning departure from Cala Figuera, a roughly 1:45h passage to Cabrera, several hours to explore, swim and relax, and the return passage late in the day. The operator outfits the boat with snorkel gear, paddle surf and refreshments so much of the day is spent moving between swims, short explorations and time on deck.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this day trip suits — and who should think twice.

1
Small groups and couplesIdeal for small parties — the outing is organized for a maximum of eight people, keeping the day intimate and flexible.
2
Multigenerational familiesAdvertised as suitable for all ages, the format works well for families wanting a single-day sea outing with swimming and short explorations.
3
Day‑long sea travellersThis is a full 8‑hour sea day; participants should be prepared for extended time aboard and the transit durations to and from the island.
4
Visitors with limited time or strict schedulesNot ideal for those with tight onward plans or who cannot commit to an 8‑hour round trip, especially because island landing spaces are limited and operational constraints apply.
