Glass‑bottom Moonfish: caves, cristal‑blue swims and the exposed eastern coast of Mallorca
A series of short departures from Porto Cristo aboard the glass‑bottom catamaran Moonfish that visit sea caves and swim stops—this guide orients you to what to expect and how to plan.
Glass‑bottom Moonfish: caves, cristal‑blue swims and the exposed eastern coast of Mallorca.
Board the glass‑bottom Moonfish in Porto Cristo and follow the jagged, sunlit eastern coast of Mallorca: short excursions thread past natural caves, make small, weather‑dependent swimming stops at coves such as Cala Varques and Cala Morlanda, and return to port within outings that span roughly one to three and a half hours.

Short swims at Cala Varques and Cala Morlanda
Most itineraries feature at least one planned swimming stop at coves such as Cala Varques or Cala Morlanda; those stops are performed only if weather and sea conditions allow.
