Swim paddleboard and snorkel the pine-fringed coves of southern Mallorca

You’ll swim through turquoise coves at Mondragó, try stand-up paddleboarding at S’Amarador (don’t worry if you fall in!), and relax under pine trees at Trencada beach. With all gear provided and a laid-back local guide handling logistics, you can just focus on sun-warmed sand and salty swims — plus a few laughs along the way.

The Experience

The first thing I noticed was the color — not just blue, but that sort of clear turquoise you only see in postcards. We’d barely stepped off the GoFurgo van at Cala Mondragó when our guide, Toni, handed out the snorkels and pointed to a shady patch under some pines. “Set your things here — it’ll stay cool,” he said. The sand was warm but soft, almost powdery between my toes. I got sunscreen in my eye (classic), and Toni just grinned and passed me a bottle of water from the cooler. There’s something about being handed cold water by someone who’s done this a hundred times — it makes you relax a little.

I’d never tried stand-up paddleboarding before, so I was half-expecting to fall straight in. Instead, Toni gave us this quick demo right there on the shore — no fuss, just “bend your knees more than you think.” The water at S’Amarador was shallow enough that even when I did wobble and splash down (twice), it felt more funny than embarrassing. The cove is ringed with pine trees that smell sharp in the sun, and there were a couple of local families picnicking nearby — kids darting in and out of the water with those inflatable rings you see everywhere here.

We drifted over to Caló de sa Barca Trencada after lunch (sandwiches from the cooler; simple but somehow perfect), and I remember lying back on the board just listening to cicadas and distant laughter from one of the hotels up the hill. It wasn’t silent exactly, but peaceful in its own way. Toni told us how these beaches change with the seasons — apparently winter storms can shift all the sand around overnight. That idea stuck with me for some reason.

I’m still thinking about that last swim under the pines at Trencada. The shade made everything look greener, almost like an old film photo. On the way back to Santanyí we were all sandy and salty and kind of sleepy — nobody really talked much until someone realized they’d left their sunglasses behind (Toni doubled back without missing a beat). So yeah, if you want an easy day trip from Palma or Santanyí where you actually get to see three different sides of Mallorca’s coast — SUP, snorkeling, picnic lunch included — this is pretty much it.

What’s included

Your day includes pickup near Santanyí or Palma (by arrangement), all SUP boards and snorkeling equipment ready on arrival at each beach stop, umbrellas for shade on hot days, coolers stocked with ice-cold drinks and sandwiches for lunch breaks under the pines, plus beach games if you’re feeling competitive before heading back salty-haired in late afternoon.
