With the SHARED EXCURSION you can visit the 10 more popular virgin coves of the South Coast of Menorca departing from Cala Galdana and enjoying the unparalleled exclusivity offered by our boat.
What does SHARED mean? It means that you will share the boat with other people who have booked for the same excursion (but if nobody else does you could go alone on the boat with the skipper!) You only pay for the number of people you are and there is no allocation of zones in the boat. It also means that the route and pace of the excursion are set.
What does it mean to leave from CALA GALDANA? Cala Galdana is, due to its location, the strategic place from which to leave to visit the most prestigious coves of the South Coast of Menorca and its beautiful coastline, since it is located in the central point of this area, with virgin coves both his right as well as his left. This allows us to enjoy the landscape and the virgin coves as soon as the excursion begins and use the minimum navigation time to reach them. Cala Galdana has in addition numerous establishments where you can enjoy a nice meal before or after the excursion, and of course its magnificent beach!
IS 2 HOURS ENOUGH(ONLY FOR EXCURSIONS IN MAY)? will I have time to visit the 10 coves and make a swimming stop? Yes of course! Our boat (agile and moderate in size) makes it so! She can enter the port of Cala Galdana and access the pier so that embarking and disembarking is directly from the pier to the boat and vice versa, thus avoiding the inconvenience of having to get on an auxiliary boat to get to the ship and not losing any time of your excursion in the process, so the two hours of excursion are enjoyed from minute one! In addition, being a boat that can navigate faster from cove to cove, and move agilely between other larger or heavier boats that are anchored in the coves, we reach corners where other boats cannot and with enough time to stop for swimming or have an aperitif with something to drink on board!
All this, added to the fact that we leave from Cala Galdana and we have the virgin coves of the South very close on both sides, makes our 2 HOUR excursion spread so much, offer you so much and you won't have the feeling of having missed anything!
Online reservations for this excursion are deactivated, so you should ask availability to us.

- Maximum total number of passengers on board: 10 + skipper.
- This modality of excursion SHARED only reserves the places you request and the rest are available for other passengers.
- Accessibility: Not suitable for people with very reduced mobility (they must be able to at least enter and exit the boat from the front, so we recommend viewing the photographs of the boat if you have any questions)
- CHILDREN under 4 years old/people without own stability AND PREGNANTS: Everyone, regardless of age, is welcome. This is generally a pleasant and safe activity for all, however, we don't recommend it for these groups of people. As in any activity that takes place at sea (a changing and sometimes unpredictable environment), there may be situations that in our opinion could make the experience uncomfortable (people who don't have their own stability and need help to hold on when the sea is moved) or contraindicated (pregnants) for these people and by extension also for their minders/companions. Of course, the final decision to book the activity is always free and, as in all cases, it is the criterion of the skipper that determines whether or not the maritime conditions are appropriate for the development of the excursion.
- HEALTH STATUS: It is the responsibility of each passenger who contracts and makes any of our excursions to be in a health status suitable for this type of activity, in addition to acting in accordance with current regulations in the Balearic Islands regarding COVID-19. Any ailment that could be aggravated or influence the proper development of the activity must be reported to the company before hiring and before carrying out the activity.

Additional information
- The excursion is developed in a motor boat, open, without cabin or wc, with possibility of shade canopy (if wind conditions permit) in the back half of the boat. To learn more about our boat OLIVIA, please check our photo album on our website.
- We do a coastal navigation, very close to land to appreciate all the formations and features of the coast. It is also a fast navigation (about 18 knots / 33 km per hour), so even when sea conditions are ok the boat will suffer movements that can be sudden/bounds depending on the waves. For this reason, although navigation is usually very pleasant, should abstain from doing this activity those people who may be affected by the sudden movements/bounds of the boat, rough seas or seasickness.
- Do not forget to bring some long-sleeved garment (the thermal sensation when sailing in the sea is usually less than the one we have on land)
- Remember that the passenger is responsible all the way for their personal belongings, so they must responsibly determine which ones will get on board and avoid losses, falls and accidents.
- We recommend reading the file "Good practices on board" that you will find in the purchase voucher.

CANCELLATIONS BY THE COMPANY
This is an outdoor activity and therefore the environmental conditions may vary and may not always be ideal. Sometimes wind or cloudiness may occur, we must count with that possibility and assume that the tour could be done in those conditions and that, at the end, will be always determined by the professional judgment of the skipper if conditions are or not suitable for carrying out the tour. According to the skipper criterion, cloudiness or wind may not result in cancellation if these conditions do not prevent the good development of the excursion.
Likewise, the skipper may consider it necessary to change the route of the tour or the swimming stops for a better option before departure or during the trip due to various or any factors as a large influx or presence of boats in a cove, or presence of jellyfish or water turbidity for example.
It is impossible to know in advance how weather will be the scheduled day of the tour and it is also possible that due to worsening weather or maritime conditions the tour should be cancelled at the last moment before boarding or even during the development of the excursion. In case of interruption of the trip the grounds and conditions will be studied in order to evaluate what amount should be refunded to the customer. In no case any additional costs incurred by the client to carry out this activity (travel to the place of departure, etc) will be refunded.
If at any time there is any cause that prevents the development of the scheduled excursion (including breakdown of the boat or the skipper's indisposition), we would try to change the tour for another day or time, as long as that is the client's wish , the cause that caused the cancellation had been corrected and we still had availability. If none of the above was possible or the client was not interested on rescheduling, the full refund of the amount paid would be made.
Refunds will always be made by the same method used by the client for the payment of his reservation.

Payment method
- Payment will be made entirely by bank gateway (credit or debit card) at the moment of booking and you will receive by email a confirmation voucher with the indications for the tour.
Note that there may be several people trying to book the same tour at the same time so your reservation can not be confirmed until payment has been accepted and you receive your booking voucher.
- Our currency is the Euro, so all prices on our website refer to Euros. However, the secure payment gateway of our website accepts payment in Euros and in foreign currencies. If you choose to pay in a different currency than the Euro, take in mind that the payment gateway will charge you in the chosen currency the amount equivalent to the amount in Euros according to the exchange rate in effect at the moment of payment. For the same reason, in case of total or partial refund of a payment made through the payment gateway in a different currency than the Euro, this will be done in Euros and will be applied the exchange rate in effect at the moment of the refund, so that the amount paid in foreign currency and the amount received in the same currency could be different if the exchange rate had suffered some variation in the period of time between the purchase and refund.
