Meet your guide at your hotel in Mahón and head to the starting point in Cala Sant Esteve. Complete a safety, route and equipment briefing and then it’s time to get into the water and paddle to Punta Prima, a big, beautiful bay and the perfect place to stop for a picnic lunch. Paddle along the south-eastern shore, known for its uninhabited islets and blue and white stripped lighthouses to Cala Biniparratx, a small beach where you’ll set up your bivouac for the night.

Break camp, eat some breakfast and then head back onto the water. Today you’ll paddle past limestone cliffs and explore concealed caves that are only accessible by sea. Stop for lunch in Cales Coves, an ancient necropolis and explore the pristine cove of Cala Sant Llorenç. Paddle along two of the largest beaches on the island, Son Bou with its lovely, transparent waters and Binigaus, where you'll spend the night. Pull ashore and explore the nearby ravine before returning to camp and another fireside dinner.

Delve deeper into Menorca’s off-the-beaten-track locations as you explore the wild southern coast. Authentic and remote, you’ll discover pristine beaches like Escorxada, Trebalúger and Fustam – known for its Posidonia leaf bed on the shore. Stop for lunch by a naturally formed rock bridge and then paddle along more perfect beaches ending at the town of Son Xoriguer, where you’ll head out for a delicious dinner in a local restaurant.

Break camp and get ready for the toughest day yet - the crossing of the capes (the first, in the south-west, is home to the photogenic lighthouse of Cap d’Artrutx). Paddle north past Ciutadella, the biggest city on the island and on to Cales Piques where you’ll stop for lunch, before paddling along towering cliffs and past hidden caves to tonight's waterside campsite.

Kayak east to La Vall, a big bay that's home to two gorgeous beaches, Es Bot and Es Tencats. From here the landscape shifts from white to red and the beaches become wetlands and fossil dune systems. After lunch, head to the lonely northern beach of Cala Calderer, the Bledes Islets and Cala Pregonda, a stunning bay with unusual geology, where you’ll set up camp and do a spot of snorkelling.

Continue through the northern Marine Reserve and see its famous beaches, Platja de Binimel-là, Cala Mica and Platja Cavalleria. Stop for lunch at the remote Es Saler and then spend the night in Cabra Salada on the Bay of Fornells.

Start your penultimate day of kayaking on the dramatic Cape of La Mola de Fornells with its serrated cliffs. Stop for a swim in Cala Pudent and lunch in the nature park of Albufera des Grau. Paddle on to the Cape of Favàritx, where you’ll spy the final lighthouse of the trip and set up camp and have dinner in Cala Sa Torreta.

Wake up bright and early for the final paddle to Illa d’en Colom, an uninhabited islet that's rich in history. Return to civilisation at Cala Sant Esteve and head to your hotel or back to the airport in time for your flight home.
