Ideally, this should be done in the first days of your stay in Menorca. This way, if the sea does not allow the activity to take place, we can reschedule it for another day. There are clients who leave the route for the end of their holidays, and if the sea is rough that day, they will not be able to enjoy it.
Both routes are very beautiful, they are different and they don't cross each other. Whichever route you choose, you'll get it right.
The basic differences are:
At Cala en Porter You visit four caves, including the famous Cueva de la Luz and, if the sea allows it, you can jump from some rocks into a natural pool. Then you stop at Cales Coves, where you can snorkel, swim or rest.

Es Canutellsis the route with the most caves on the island. You will visit between 7 and 8 caves. In one of them the instructor goes with a torch because it is very deep and totally dark, you will love it! To snorkel, you don't stop in a cove as such, but on stone platforms between the water, if the sea allows it, or in the water. in a little corner of the white sandy cliff bottom where nor on foot. On this route you paddle for about 15 minutes more.
Therefore, we could say that both have their magic points and that the one in Cala en Porter is a little more relaxed y Es Canutells a little more adventure.
The choice is up to you - you won't fail!
If children are small and do not paddle, the Cala en Porter route is more recommendable, as it is very pretty and somewhat more relaxed. You paddle less and reach a nearby cove, Cales Coves, which is more sheltered from the sea.
