Sant Elm Ferry to Dragonera Island

Highlight • Rest Area

A staircase leads to the small harbor area... but the waves can sometimes push in quite hard... caution is advised

Sa Dragonera Island

Highlight • Natural

Especially funny and beautiful to watch are the small Balearic lizards that exist on Sa Dragonera in masses. The little dragons are very nimble and curious. The bags should therefore be kept well closed.

Dragon Island is a nature reserve that only allows a small number of tourists per day. There is no bar, you have to take everything you want to drink and eat with you. That's why it's very lonely here, except for the little "dragons" that you can find everywhere on the island, if you're not careful they'll hide in your …

Very nice tour, in the season you should book the crossing in advance and don't book the return too early. We spent 4.5 hours on the island, which was good.
No rest stop on the island, take enough drinks with you

By taxi to Sankt Elm.. by boat to Sa Dragonera (15€/person, book in advance during peak periods). Walked the steepest and then the easiest path.. Lizards are crossing everywhere and they get curious when you sit down..
Great views and the ascent not too difficult. Distance minus boat trip was about 13 km.

Sa Dragonera... a beautiful island with thousands of geckos. 🦎🦎🦎The landscape is just great, the photos only show it to some extent. 😊😊😊 You can get to the island in a quarter of an hour with a small boat. The tour was very relaxed today, pure pleasure hiking. The routing is great. That was the nice part of today. Now …

A great tour... nice, easy path (old donkey path) that always climbs up to the summit, then back down and on to the North Cape. The tour is not strenuous, but definitely recommended. You have to stop again and again to enjoy the great view. In any case, I would advise taking plenty of drinks with you, because it is …
