The Experience
The boat leaves Port d'Alcúdia and heads north along Mallorca's dramatic coastline, passing Cap de Menorca and hidden sea caves that only appear from the water. You cruise past towering cliffs and turquoise coves before arriving at Coll Baix, a natural beach ringed by rock faces and accessible only by boat. Here you enter the water to snorkel, swim or take out a paddleboard; the crew serves drinks and snacks while you explore the bay. The water is clear enough to see the seabed, and the beach itself stays quiet because the crowds never reach it overland.
After Coll Baix, the boat continues east past Cabo del Pinar and more rock formations, then stops near Alcanada Island and its lighthouse for a second snorkeling session in calm water. Freshly made tapas and drinks come onboard while you're in the bay, so you can rest between swims without leaving the water's edge. The return cruise passes through Alcúdia Bay back to the port. The whole experience runs four hours and includes all snorkeling gear, paddleboards, and everything you drink or eat.
Small group size is the defining trait here—the boat operates with fewer passengers than the large tour vessels, which means no queuing to enter the water and no jostling for space at either stop. The guide speaks English or Spanish depending on the group. Service animals are welcome, and the boat has an indoor saloon, flybridge seating and a WC onboard.
What’s included
- Snorkeling equipment and paddleboards.

Is this one for you?The boat moves at a relaxed pace with two long stops for swimming and snorkeling rather than a rushed itinerary of many brief visits—you spend real time in the water at each location instead of watching from the deck. Choose this if you want to actually snorkel and paddleboard rather than simply cruise past the scenery.
