The best adventures and activities in Menorca
Menorca is known for its pristine beaches and it’s relaxing atmosphere, but it’s also a great place to discover adventure.
The rugged countryside and the clear coastal waters offer activities for all levels, for those of you interested in getting a little physical while you’re on holiday in Menorca.
Here are our top one’s
Hiking, Cycling or Horseback Riding the Cami de Cavalls
The Cami de Cavalls is an ancient bridle path that leads around the entire coast of the island. Hiking, cycling or horseback riding are a fantastic way to get a full spectrum of Menorca’s beauty. The path is full of varied landscapes, from sand dunes to Holm-oak forest groves.
If you’re just in the mood for a casual walk, some sections are perfect for an hour or two. You can also do a self-guided tour, finding easier paths for beginners or rougher and more difficult trails for expert hikers. Guided hiking tours are an option if you’re curious about more remote areas.
Mountain cyclists can use the ‘Cavalls de Ferro’ route, which is broken up in 4 stages. And if you’d like to try the traditional way of following the bridle path on horseback, you can find a guided riding tour that suits you, from 1 to 7 days.

Snorkeling and scuba diving in Menorca are great for all levels; beginners can get lessons with guided tours and diving pros can discover the caverns and tunnels hidden along the coves.
