About Cabrera Island Day Trip
Cabrera is a national park archipelago 14 km off the south coast of Mallorca: uninhabited islands with hiking trails, a 14th-century castle, and some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean. The boat from Colonia de Sant Jordi takes 45 minutes (EUR 40-50 return, April to October). On the island: hike to the castle (30 minutes each way, panoramic views), snorkel in the Blue Grotto (Sa Cova Blava, where the water glows neon blue), and eat your packed lunch at the small harbour. Daily visitor numbers are limited to protect the ecosystem. Book 2-3 weeks ahead in summer.
Insider Tips
EUR 40-50 return from Colonia de Sant Jordi, April to October. Book 2-3 weeks ahead in July and August (visitor numbers are limited). Bring packed lunch, water, sunscreen, hat, and snorkelling gear (some boats lend gear but bring your own to be safe). The Blue Grotto swim is the highlight. Wear decent shoes for the castle hike. No shops or facilities on the island.
