Inspired by National Geographic's Pristine Seas project, which aims to protect the last wild places in our oceans, this National Geographic Day Tour offers a unique opportunity to explore some of the most beautiful and unspoiled Mediterranean waters by kayak. Accompanied by your experienced guide and a marine biologist, you'll learn about the importance of Posidonia.
Let your guide take you on a kayak tour through the marine protected area of the Dragonera Islands, offshore from Sant Elm. It's a rich ecosystem home to dolphins, fish, birds, algae, and more. Enjoy the opportunity to snorkel and marvel at the Posidonia meadows up close, while your guide explains the significance of this seagrass for the Mediterranean and the world.
Learn how we can help protect the Posidonia meadows by raising awareness of their role in the battle against global warming, as featured in the National Geographic documentary, 'Pristine Seas: The Power of Protection'.

Majorcan breakfast at Rancho Grande
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so do it in true Spanish style on the sprawling countryside estate of Rancho Grande. You'll sit out on the sun-soaked terrace and pick from a menu that champions local Majorcan flavours. For the more adventurous foodies, you can try options like butifarrón, a local offal delicacy, sobrasada, a traditional cured sausage, or caminates, a tomato pig trotter dish. And, if you're prefer sticking to a more tried and tested menu, you can tuck into rustic bread topped with smoked salmon, eggs and avocado, ham and cheese, or suckling pork chops from the ranch's herd of heritage breed black Majorcan pigs.
