Setting Sail to Los Deltas

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for activities that promise both adventure and education for my kids. When I heard about the Los Deltas Reserve Tour in Santanyí, I knew it was something we had to experience. The idea of exploring caves and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters sounded like the perfect blend of excitement and learning.

We arrived at the Avinguda de Cala Llonga, where our journey began. The anticipation was palpable as we boarded the jet skis, my kids’ eyes wide with excitement. The instructors were incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and ready for the adventure ahead. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and it set the tone for the day.

As we sailed towards the Deltas Natural Reserve, the beauty of the surroundings took our breath away. The cliffs and caves loomed majestically, and the water shimmered in shades of turquoise and blue. It was a sight to behold, and I could see my children absorbing every moment, their curiosity piqued by the natural wonders around them.

Snorkeling in Cala Vella

Our first stop was Cala Vella, a hidden gem with waters so clear you could see the seabed. We donned our snorkeling gear and plunged into the refreshing embrace of the sea. The underwater world was a kaleidoscope of colors, with fish darting around us and the sunlight dancing on the ocean floor.

For my kids, this was a chance to learn about marine life firsthand. They were thrilled to spot different species of fish and even a few curious crabs. It was a living classroom, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to teach them about the importance of preserving our oceans.

The instructors were patient and knowledgeable, offering insights into the marine ecosystem and answering all our questions. Their passion for the environment was evident, and it resonated with my children, who were eager to learn more.

Exploring the Caves

After our snorkeling adventure, we continued our journey, visiting the caves of Cap Rocat, Cala Blava, Son Veri, and the Green Cave. Each cave had its own unique charm, and the instructors shared fascinating stories and facts about their formation and history.

The Green Cave, in particular, was a highlight. Its emerald waters and mysterious aura captivated us all. My kids were fascinated by the echoes that bounced off the cave walls, and we spent some time just soaking in the beauty and tranquility of the place.

As we made our way back to the port, the open sea stretched out before us, and we relished the feeling of freedom that came with riding the waves. It was a perfect end to a day filled with adventure, learning, and unforgettable memories.

The Los Deltas Reserve Tour is an experience I wholeheartedly recommend to families looking for a unique and enriching adventure. The combination of natural beauty, educational opportunities, and the thrill of exploration makes it a must-do activity in Santanyí. My kids and I left with a deeper appreciation for the wonders of nature and a treasure trove of memories that we’ll cherish forever.
