The Fisherman's Route to Mallorca's Hidden Coves

You board a RIB boat at Cala Figuera and cruise the southeast Mallorca coast, passing Es Pontàs and Cala Santanyí before reaching Calo des Moro for a thirty-minute swim in clear water. Snorkeling gear, drinks, and a professional skipper are included in the roughly three-hour trip, which gets you to beaches that have no road access.

The Experience

The skipper at Cala Figuera—a man named Josep who's been running boats out of that harbor for thirty years—told us the only way to really see the southeast coast is to stop trying to drive to it. Most of the beaches along here don't have roads. Calo des Moro, the main stop on this boat trip from Cala Figuera, sits at the end of a hiking trail so long that most people give up halfway. But from the water, you're there in under three hours, and you get to see the whole stretch: Es Pontàs, that strange rock arch that used to mark an old cave entrance, Cala Santanyí, Cala Llombards—each one sliding past as the RIB cuts south along the Mallorca coastline.

The boat itself is small and fast, which is why you feel the sea instead of just looking at it. You'll get snorkeling gear on board, and about thirty minutes to actually get in the water at Calo des Moro—not rushed, but not endless either, which keeps the whole thing moving. Josep says the water there is clearer than it looks in photos, and he's right. The limestone cliffs drop straight down, and the sand underneath is pale enough that you can see it from the surface. Bring a swimsuit, sunscreen, a towel. The boat ride back takes the same route, so you'll see the coves again from a different angle, and by then you'll understand why Josep never bothers with the hiking trail.

The trip runs about two hours and fifty minutes total, and it includes the snorkeling equipment, fuel, soft drinks, and a professional skipper who knows the water. You'll need to be at the Redstartours office in Cala Figuera twenty minutes before departure. Weather can cancel things without notice—that's the one real variable—but if the sea's calm enough to go, you're going somewhere most tourists never reach.
