Dolphins and coves on a 2-hour catamaran with a swim stop

A 2-hour boat trip from Paguera aboard an underwater catamaran to watch wild dolphins along Mallorca's southwest coast, with a stop to swim and snorkel in a bay near Camp de Mar. The catamaran has two bars for drinks and snacks, and guides speak English, Spanish and German. Arrive 15 minutes before the 3pm departure; snorkel masks are available for a €20 deposit.

The Experience

The boat leaves from the jetty at Playa Tora de Paguera at 3pm, and the route heads offshore into deeper water where dolphins move freely. The captain adjusts the course and swimming location based on weather, so the exact bays you pass—Camp de Mar, Cala Fornells, the rest of the southwest coast—can shift, but the structure stays the same: sail out looking for cetaceans, make a stop to swim in clear water, then return along the coast. Two onboard bars let you buy drinks and snacks during the crossing.

The swim stop puts you in one of the nearby bays, usually Camp de Mar, where the water is clear enough to snorkel if you want to. Snorkel masks are available for a €20 deposit, so you can bring your own or rent one on board. The catamaran itself has underwater viewing panels, which is the main thing that sets it apart from a standard boat—you can watch the water below without leaving your seat.

Arrive at the pier 15 minutes early to account for parking and any traffic on the way to Paguera. The trip takes 2 hours total. Infants can travel in a pram or stroller, and small children sit on an adult's lap. The boat is suitable for all fitness levels, and public transport runs nearby if you prefer not to drive.
