ISLAND TOUR is the best day out in Mallorca: ride the Soller train, take a boat along the coastline, visit La Calobra and enjoy a tram ride as you witness Mallorca's beautiful landscapes.
A highlight of the tour if you are from the north area pick-ups is stopping at La Calobra emblematic "Nudo de la Corbata" road, where you’ll have the chance to take some photos and enjoying a drink in the picturesque surroundings from the heights. In case of being from the south area pick-ups, we'll enjoy 40 minutes in Lluc. In both cases, we'll explore the Calobra beach and its crystal-clear waters.
Next stop by boat will be the charming coastal village of Port Soller, enjoy lunch at your leisure, and then hop aboard the local tram for a picturesque ride to Soller, where your guide will take you through the village's highlights.
Finally, sit back and unwind on the vintage wooden train as you enjoy breathtaking views of the Soller Valley's lush agricultural fields on your way to Son Reus.

When you are on Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands, head out on this guided sightseeing day trip to discover the beauty of the island. Get comfortable aboard an air-conditioned coach and while your guide explains interesting facts about the island, enjoy spectacular views of the Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed mountain range.
We begin our excursion by entering The Serra de Tramuntana on coach, which is the backbone of Mallorca. A natural beauty nourished by culture, traditions and a strong identity, where the first travellers to enjoy the island arrived in the 19th century.
Its extremes, Formentor to the northeast and La Trapa to the southwest, are separated by some 90 kilometres, along which you will find numerous viewpoints, turquoise blue beaches and stone villages that are well worth a visit.
Enjoy the coach journey as you get to travel through this beautiful stretch of the mountain roads with the guides explanations about all the different points we will come across such as Lluc Monastery, the Puig Mayor, the Torrente de Pareis stream. During this part of the trip you will have the opportunity to see one of Europe's most spectacular roads, the one that leads to Sa Calobra. The road to Sa Calobra has a total of 13 kilometres and it was built in 1932 and as we go down it you will experience a unique view of the surroundings.
Admire breathtaking views of the rock formations on the west coast of Mallorca as you head down a windy road to La Calobra. Here, you have free time to explore the village, grab a snack in one of the small cafes around the port (own expense) or relax by the breathtaking beach.
By walking through the expectacular mountain tunnel, you will be able to visit the beautiful "Torrente de Pareis" which is another part of the beach at Sa Calobra.
The Torrent de Pareis was formed in the middle of the Tramuntana mountain range thousands of years ago, a canyon more than 3 kilometres long that runs between gorges until it reaches the famous cove of Sa Calobra. This gorge of limestone rocks, was forged over time by the erosive action of torrential water.
It has now become a real focal point for sporting activities due to the formations and for it´s absolutely breathtaking views!
The next part of the tour begins as we board a modern boat for a 40 minute ride. This boat trip will take us from Sa Calobra to the Port of Soller, as we pass by the coast you will witness Mallorca's beauty in a way that will exceed your expectations. Observing from out at sea ancient defensive towers, coves, cliffs, marine caves and small islands. These are images you will keep with you forever!
Once we arrive into the Port of Soller it will be time to take the Soller tram. The journey takes approximately 25 minutes and ends at Soller's classic railway station in Soller Town. During this ride we will go through orchards full of lemon and orange trees which is Soller's most famous landscape and the tram will take us straight through the town itself.
Once we arrive at the beautiful town of Soller by tram from Puerto Soller we will have time for a short visit around its charming historical centre before we board the famous Soller wooden train. We will follow the original journey which has barely changed in its 100 years of operation.
The highlight of this Mallorca Island Tour for many is the train ride. This experience will be the finishing touch that will make you fall completely in love with the island. You will board Soller's world famous wooden train which was built in 1912. The train crosses Soller's valley as it goes through various tunnels giving us priveledged views of the valley as we reach the town of Bunyola and we stop to get off at the Son Reus station. There our coach will be awaiting us to take us back to where we began the tour earlier in the day.
