From exploring magical caves to relaxing on golden beaches, Porto Cristo is a perfect destination for families. One of the best ways to experience the beautiful unspoilt coastline around Porto Cristo is with Moonfish Glass Bottom Boat Tours, jup aboard their Glass Bottom Boats and you’ll discover hidden beaches, swim in crystal-clear waters, and see the fascinating marine life below.

Explore the Coast with Moonfish Glass Bottom Boat Tours

A highlight for families visiting Porto Cristo is a trip with Moonfish Glass Bottom Boats. These tours are perfect for children and adults alike, offering a unique view of the underwater world without even getting wet. Choose from short coastal cruises or longer full and half-day trips stopping for swimming and snorkelling at the iconic beach of Cala Varques or the pristine clear waters of Cala Morlanda in S’illot. Their popular two-hour trip from Porto Cristo to Cala Varques departs in the morning and the afternoon. You’ll pass dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and sea caves before stopping for a refreshing swim at Cala Varques, one of the locals’ most loved beaches with it’s dramatic and photo-perfect natural stone arch. Cala Varques can only be discovered by walking or boat and in the blazing midsummer heat, we prefer the cooling breeze of an exciting boat tour than a 40 minute walk in the midday sun! Moonfish’s Glass Bottom boats are a fantastic way to explore the coast together while creating unforgettable family memories for single travellers, couples, and families alike.

Visit the Famous Drach Caves

Just a short distance from the marina, the Caves of Drach are one of Mallorca’s most popular attractions. Families can marvel at the impressive stalactites and stalagmites before enjoying a magical underground boat ride across one of the world’s largest subterranean lakes. The caves also host a classical music performance, making it a memorable experience for all ages.

Beaches for Swimming and Relaxation

Porto Cristo is surrounded by some of the most beautiful beaches on Mallorca’s east coast. Cala Anguila, Cala Mandia and Cala Romántica are all family-friendly spots with turquoise waters and soft sand, perfect for swimming and building sandcastles. A short coastal walk links the two beaches, giving families a chance to stretch their legs and enjoy panoramic sea views.

For something a little more adventurous, you can also visit Cala Varques, a stunning unspoiled beach that’s a favourite with locals. While you can reach it on foot from Cala Romántica, it’s often easier—and more fun—to go by boat. The Moonfish glass bottom boat trips offer the chance to swim at Cala Varques while admiring the rugged coastline from the sea.

Enjoy the Porto Cristo Marina

After a day of adventure, head back to the Porto Cristo Marina, where you’ll find a lively atmosphere and plenty of options for dining. Families can enjoy everything from casual snacks to upmarket restaurants with sea views. Popular choices include Calypso and Fussió, both known for their excellent menus and welcoming atmosphere.
