Budget & Tips

Menorca is an ideal location for a variety of water sports, including kayaking, sailing, paddle surfing and kitesurfing, not to mention snorkeling and scuba diving, especially on the north coast. The island abounds in untapped sites. For those wishing to discover Menorca from a different angle, in a quieter atmosphere, it's important to point out that these sports can be enjoyed in both summer and winter, ideally from September-October onwards, after the last wave of tourist departures. There's also the Camí de Cavalls, a superb path around the island that can be explored on foot, by bike or on horseback.

For disabled travelers visiting Menorca, we recommend contacting the Menorca para Todos (Menorca for All) association. This organization offers a wide range of sporting and cultural excursions adapted to people with reduced mobility. Further information at www.menorcaparatodos.org

To be booked

If you want to take part in activities requiring special logistics (boat or horse trips, for example), or even mount your own expedition in conjunction with professionals, you'll need to plan ahead... and accept that plans may change at the last minute, as the weather can sometimes put a few obstacles in the path of the bravest.

Main events

The people of the Balearic Islands are generally quite sporty, at least judging by the number of events that punctuate the year: marathons, triathlons, bike races, motorcycle rallies, regattas, swims...
