Detailed itinerary

An excursion is much more than just to take you from your hotel in Mallorca to the venue. Our philosophy is that every excursion in Mallorca should be an experience and we use the best guides and choose the best itineraries to ensure that we create unforgettable experiences.

It is also possible to visit weekly markets on the following days (in 2 hours of free time):

Tuesday (Tour from East area): Alcudia market
Wednesday (Tour from South area): Sineu market

Later, you will drive to the viewpoint of Colomer along one of the most beautiful roads of Mallorca built in 1929 passing through the UNESCO World Heritage mountain range of Tramuntana and enjoying panoramic views of the Port of Pollensa.

Your first stop will be at the viewpoint of Colomer where you can take some fantastic photos, and you will enjoy views of the Cap of Formentor, the blue colour of the sea and dramatic cliffs.

The next part of the trip is a boat to experience (about 30 min) from the beach of Formentor to the Port of Pollensa. You will have the chance to enjoy unique views of the Mountains of Tramuntana, the dramatic coastline, the Bay and the Port of Pollensa, which you can observe only from the sea.

Then you will visit the beach of Formentor. There is time enough for a stroll along the beach and a swim in the crystal clear waters of this well known beach, or even to walk to the 5star Formentor Hotel.

You will arrive at Puerto Pollensa and you will have free time. There are many options there for you: a stroll around the marina, go for a lunch or just relax and sunbathe on the beach.
