An Overview of the Mallorca Coastline from the Water

This tour offers a unique perspective of Mallorca’s famous Tramuntana coast, famous for its rugged cliffs and hidden coves. Sailing along the coast allows access to areas rarely reachable by land, thanks to the coast’s limited road access. The private boat provides a comfortable and flexible way to see several highlights in one trip, with a seasoned captain guiding the way.

Travelers enjoy the intimate atmosphere of a small group, which often results in a more relaxed and customized experience. The tour’s 4-hour duration balances sightseeing, swimming, and relaxing, making it ideal for those who want a taste of Mallorca’s marine beauty without a full-day commitment.

Excursion to Port de Soller: A Picturesque Starting Point

The first stop is Port de Soller, a beautiful, bustling port on the island’s northwest coast. The boat sails through the bay, giving a spectacular view of this charming seaside town. Known for its quaint harbor, colorful buildings, and maritime vibe, Port de Soller sets a scenic tone for the trip.

While no admission fees are involved, this one-hour sail-through provides an excellent chance to enjoy the crystal-clear waters and coastal scenery from the deck. It’s a great photo opportunity and an inviting way to begin the journey, with the chance to appreciate the coastline’s natural beauty from the water.

Cala Deia: A Hidden Beach with Crystal Waters

Next, the tour stops at Cala Deia, renowned for its charming atmosphere and crystal-clear water. This beach stop lasts about an hour, giving guests the opportunity to swim and relax in a quieter, less crowded spot compared to typical beaches.

Cala Deia is one of the favorite bathing stops on the route. Its small size and pristine waters make it an ideal place for snorkeling, with peaceful surroundings that encourage leisure and exploration. Travelers should note that while swimming is popular here, water temperatures can be a bit cool, which may influence the decision to take a dip.

Mirador Sa Foradada: The Iconic Rock Formation

One of the most striking sights on this tour is the Mirador Sa Foradada, a famous rock formation that features a natural hole through its center. While it can be seen from land, viewing it from the sea offers a more dramatic perspective.

The one-hour stop at Sa Foradada allows for close-up views, ideal for photography and appreciating the impressive geological features. The rock’s size and shape make it one of Mallorca’s most impressive natural landmarks, and seeing it from the water provides a truly cinematic experience.

Cala Tuent: A Perfect Spot for Snorkeling and Surfing

The final stop is Cala Tuent, located under the gaze of Puig Major, Mallorca’s highest peak. This quiet cove is around an hour long and offers a great place for swimming, snorkeling, and surfing.

The calm waters and natural beauty of Cala Tuent make it a favorite for water activities. Access to snorkeling gear is included, so travelers can explore the underwater scenery, spotting fish and marine life. The surrounding scenery provides a beautiful backdrop for relaxation or more water-based fun before heading back to port.

The tour includes use of snorkeling equipment and paddle surfing gear, making it easy to enjoy the marine environment at each stop. Bottled water is provided to stay hydrated during the trip. Travelers should bring towels if they wish to dry off after swimming, as these are not included.

The private boat ensures a comfortable experience, and the local captain enhances the trip with insider knowledge and friendly service. Travelers can bring their own food and drinks onboard, adding a personalized touch to the outing.

Why This Tour Stands Out Among Mallorca Marine Excursions

The deliberate focus on scenic bays, coves, and natural landmarks makes it especially appealing for those looking to combine sightseeing with water activities.

The high praise from past participants underscores the exceptional quality of the captain and the beauty of the boat and scenery. The tour’s flexible schedule and small group size foster an environment where relaxation and exploration are prioritized.

The combination of beautiful stops, snorkeling gear, and a friendly local captain delivers a relaxing yet engaging experience.
