Cabrera National Park

Birding Tour

Balearic islands wildlife paradise

Located some 10 miles south of Mallorca, Cabrera archipelago National Park comprises some 20 islands and a large marine protected area covering 90,800 hectares. Cabrera is a hotspot for seabirds and during the crossing we will look for the endemic Balearic shearwater, the Scopoli’s shearwater, Mediterranean shag and Audouin’s gull as well as for dolphins. Cabrera is a key stopover site for many migratory birds, including quite a few rarities.

The National Park is also important for the endemic Lilford’s wall lizard (with 10 different subspecies), several orchids and endemic plants blooming in spring. Other highlights are the impressive medieval castle and archaeological remains, the stunning landscapes and its crystal clear waters.
