Mahon Harbor Boat Tour Review: Underwater Viewing Commentary

So, you know, the island of Menorca holds a special kind of charm, doesn’t it? A little something beyond the ordinary, you know? Very, very much unlike some other Balearic Islands, there’s this sense of unspoiled beauty there that I think grabs you the moment you arrive. Anyway, a big chunk of Menorca’s allure is most definitely its harbors, and the port of Mahon is genuinely something special. That’s for sure. Arguably one of the biggest natural harbors around, it’s literally steeped in history and brimming, just brimming, with like gorgeous sights. As a matter of fact, taking a boat trip seems like the right way, almost, to experience it. Like it gets you, you know, proper close to the action. So, recently, I did just that – took a Mahon harbor boat tour which had underwater viewing with commentary, and here’s my honest opinion about the whole thing.

First Impressions and Getting On Board

First things first, like finding the departure point was quite simple. Actually, the waterfront around Mahon is very easy to walk around, you know? Almost everything is literally within easy reach, I mean. Basically, the meeting spot was clearly marked, too. You know? It’s almost near the main pier. The boat, you know, wasn’t a huge one. And it felt like it was a good size for this kind of trip, actually. First, there’s the tour guide. Basically, he greeted everyone warmly, basically making you feel welcome as you climb onboard. Okay? After you get on board, you will find out it’s not, you know, a luxury yacht; the vessel, as a matter of fact, has ample seating, which is great. Oh and too its got a shaded area, actually really helpful, just to escape the Mediterranean sun, you know, at least for a little while.

The Harbor Tour: Above the Surface

Okay so as the boat pulled away from the pier, what do you know, you will be welcomed with a delightful spectacle is it? Anyway Mahon’s charm quickly comes into view in front of your eyes, as a matter of fact, what are you seeing. Basically the guide really started the commentary. It gives historical info with like stories about the harbor’s different spots as well. You see what I mean? Like learning about the forts and naval history that’s played out right there? Pretty impressive really. Arguably, what makes this journey even more exceptional is that a ton of these historical anecdotes come with fascinating details and just a dash of humor to give it that bit of fun. Is that not impressive or what? Basically, we glided past various small islands, too, each having its own unique story. As I was saying, you get a proper view of the imposing Fortaleza de la Mola; it gives you goosebumps basically. So, if the history alone wasn’t engaging enough, you will also see a few of the waterside homes. These, just so you know, boast some pretty great architectural details which gave like insight into local life. Is that correct?

Underwater Viewing and Marine Life

You know? Alright, so now for what’s a bit unique with this particular boat trip. Literally, the underwater viewing part, actually, I was slightly curious how this might go. That is me for sure, you know. As a matter of fact, down you go into the hull – like down some steps, you know? Pretty quick you find these, just find rows of seats, almost facing these big glass panels below the waterline. I swear, what do you know? It’s almost like having your very own window straight to the sea, as I was saying! Basically, the visibility, well it kind of relied on the sea conditions, too. To be honest. Just as well that on the day I went. The water was particularly crystal clear. The water had this inviting shimmer, so clear right? Seriously, there was plenty of cool marine life right before my very eyes. Okay? A bunch of kinds of fish, okay; you will find starfish all spread across the seabed like decorations, actually. It felt so interesting watching them. Like so natural too, I might add! So, as we took a cruise about, the guide carried on his commentary. Just for good measure he was doing that to provide information to describe what, or even explain what we were viewing beneath us! Too you might get the local ecological insight into. Right?

What Makes This Tour Special

What a bit that literally set this specific boat trip away is most definitely that blend of history coupled with that unique touch that comes about by providing, too that underwater experience! Okay, but a lot, I think, of these harbor trips give commentary as you might suspect that. So as to have your trip well saturated within history and trivia. But here in this specific boat, to some level or another you’re literally transported in a subtle yet clear shift of venue under water. Anyway, that really enables, this. A quite special kind of experience by which your very appreciation just grows on, I suppose. When the boats move forward that literally takes, I might add it to further regions, okay so keep in close watch while literally moving on, literally further under it. Now. The literally the on board guide is literally speaking is it.

This kind of boat tour feels truly ideal for plenty of groups, I would imagine, very, very broad of its appeals. For instance if like yourself, your very kind interest is that for those parts of any place where things once happened the tales which tell what had previously occured here, you know this could simply really satisfy it as, it almost literally brings history to literally vibrant vibrant light as just a show, I’m not entirely to make sure I said it so right.

To you, at me here or even inside from it or almost after your the boat had come very just off into it, because it’s a pretty, great great boat just like the others. You would surely may feel like the boats of you. To go and grab a perfect front side on panel or you get more wider wider the views to get and that it. As for cameras; almost for everyone I would suggest bringing a perfect decent cam; I really may get more wider a perfect great angle. At least you capture with with very underwater so well, and if one literally very will use something such Ipad or IPhones which might be to very heavy because the reflections its gets very not good when in so much water.
