Catamaran tour Mallorca: Cala Figuera and Cala Mondragó

Swim in a nature reserve, then wander a working fishing village, all from one boat.

A 4-hour catamaran tour along Mallorca's southeast coast stops for 45 minutes in the protected waters of Cala Mondragó and gives you an hour to explore Cala Figuera, a traditional fishing port with old boathouses and the charm that has drawn artists for generations. The boat carries underwater viewing windows so you can watch the seabed without leaving the deck, plus two slides for swimming breaks. You choose your departure point: Cala d'Or or Portopetro. Suitable for all fitness levels.

Step-by-step itinerary

Catamaran sail and Cala Figuera visit

• Sail along Mallorca's southeast coast
• Swim at Cala Mondragó Nature Reserve
• Explore Cala Figuera fishing port

The Experience

The boat leaves from either Cala d'Or or Portopetro and sails quietly along the southeast coast, passing coastal villages, beaches, coves and cliffs that mark the ecological heart of the island. The route itself is the point—you are not rushed between stops, and the catamaran's underwater viewing windows let you see the seabed and local fish without suiting up or leaving your seat.

Cala Mondragó comes first. The boat anchors in the crystal clear waters of this protected nature reserve for roughly 45 minutes. You can swim straight from the deck, use one of the two slides to enter the water, or stay aboard and watch the seabed through the viewing windows. The water is shallow enough to see the bottom clearly, and the reserve keeps the beach and the cove undeveloped, so the landscape stays as it has been.

Before heading back, the catamaran sails to Cala Figuera, where you have an hour on land. This is a working fishing port, not a resort town. The old wooden huts, traditional boats and boathouses line the water's edge, and the place has kept enough of its authentic character that painters and artists have made it a subject for decades. You walk around at your own pace—there is no guided commentary or timed stops, just the village as it is.

Top questions

How long is the actual sailing time on this catamaran tour?

The full tour runs 4 hours from departure to return. That time includes the 45-minute stop in Cala Mondragó and the 1-hour stop in Cala Figuera, so the sailing itself takes up the remaining time between embarkation and disembarkation.

Can I swim in Cala Mondragó, or is it just for looking?

Cala Mondragó is a swimming stop. You can enter the water directly from the boat using the slides, swim in the protected reserve, or stay aboard and watch the seabed through the underwater viewing windows if you prefer not to get wet.

What is Cala Figuera like to walk around?

Cala Figuera is a traditional fishing port with old wooden boathouses, typical fishing boats and ancient huts that line the water. It has remained largely unchanged and retains the authentic character that has inspired artists over the years. Your hour there is free time to explore at your own pace.

Where do I board the catamaran?

You choose your departure point when you book: either Cala d'Or or Portopetro. Both are on Mallorca's southeast coast and serve as the embarkation and return point for the tour.

What is included in the tour price?

The tour includes the 4-hour catamaran sail, access to the underwater viewing windows, the two slides, and your time in both Cala Mondragó and Cala Figuera. Food and drinks are not included, and you must arrange your own transport to the boarding point.

Is this tour suitable if I am not very fit or have mobility concerns?

The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels. Most of the time is spent aboard the boat or in the water at Cala Mondragó. The hour in Cala Figuera is on land at your own pace, so you can explore as much or as little as you wish.
