The Experience

The boat leaves Alcudia Beach and heads out along the rocky, cliff-lined coast that most visitors see only from the shore. You'll pass Colonia de Sant Pere and the Serra de Llevant mountains framing the water, then reach the stops where you actually get in. The Blue Cave is the centerpiece — a sea cave you can only enter by boat, and the tour times the visit so you can swim inside it when conditions allow. Cap Farrutx and Sa Cova Gran follow, each with their own stretch of clear water and the chance to use the snorkel gear the boat provides.

The equipment is included: snorkel mask, fins and a vest for each passenger, plus two paddleboards if you want to try those instead. A professional captain who knows the area's routes and conditions runs the boat and decides when the water is calm enough for the Blue Cave swim. The tour is built for people who want to be in the water, not watching it pass — you're the one moving through the coves, not sitting on deck. The whole outing takes 3 hours, which gives you time at each stop without the day becoming a logistics puzzle.

Es Caló, a small secluded cove with white sand and turquoise water, is the last stop before the return to Alcudia. The boat also passes the Nature Park, so you see the protected coastline even if you don't stop to swim there. Public transport runs near the departure point, and the tour works for families with children from age 3 onward.

Is this one for you?The boat moves between stops rather than staying in one place, so you're comfortable with a morning or afternoon on the water and ready to get in and out of the sea at each cove. The 3-hour pace is steady without being rushed, which means you spend real time snorkeling instead of just passing through.
