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.

We will be taking you to the view point Mirador es Colomer where you will be able to see the Bay of Pollensa and Alcudia, as well as the whole Formentor peninsula. We spend 30 minutes in the area so that you can enjoy the spectacular views either taking photos or simply relaxing.

From the viewpoint you will also be able to spot the Albertcutx Watchtower further up. The watchtower of Albercuix, located 380 metres above sea level, forms part of the system of fortified and armed towers that were built on the island between the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century in response to the rise of piracy.

Once you have relaxed a little bit on the gorgeous Formentor Beach, it will be time for one of the highlights of the tour as you set off by boat to Puerto Pollensa. During this journey you will be able to witness the beauty of the Tramuntana mountain range and its cliffs, as well numerous caves and coves from out at sea. Once we arrive into the port of Pollensa, you will also have around 30 minutes to explore the Port, before our open top bus takes you back to resort leaving still plenty of time to enjoy the day before the sun sets.

The next part of the trip begins once we drive down to the well-known Formentor beach where you can enjoy its precious crystal clear waters and soft white sand. This stunning beach was once reserved to clients but has now been opened to everybody. In this ideal location you will have approximately one hour to sunbathe and swim.
