Snorkeling in Alcudia: Morning Boat with Tapas & Paddleboards

Four hours on the water instead of a full-day commitment, with snorkeling gear and paddleboards waiting at each stop.

A morning snorkeling trip in Alcudia on a classic wooden boat that follows Mallorca's northern coastline to hidden coves and rocky beaches. You swim and snorkel in Coll Baix, use paddleboards during the stop, and eat fresh Mallorcan tapas on board with one complimentary drink. The small-group tour runs in calm morning hours when the water is clearest, with a live guide in English or Spanish and all gear provided.

Step-by-step itinerary

Morning boat tour with swim and tapas

• Board classic wooden boat in Alcudia

• Stop at Coll Baix beach for swim
• Swim, snorkel, or paddleboard
• Enjoy traditional Mallorcan tapas on board
• Listen to crew insights about coastline

The experience

The boat leaves in the morning when Alcudia Bay is flattest and the light is best for seeing into the water. You're aboard a 1968 wooden vessel (the kind built for slow coastal sailing rather than speed), which means the pace is deliberate and the views stay in focus. The route traces Mallorca's northern coastline past hidden coves, rocky cliffs, and the Alcanada Lighthouse, stopping at Coll Baix beach where the water sits calm and clear. Snorkeling gear is on board. Paddleboards are ready for the swim stop. One complimentary drink comes with the booking (soft drink, beer, wine, or sangria), and the bar stays open throughout if you want more.

The swim stop is the anchor of the morning. You get time to snorkel the cove, paddle out on the boards, or float and watch the limestone cliffs. The crew shares what they know about the coastline while keeping the atmosphere relaxed. This is not a rushed tick-box of sites. After the water, fresh Mallorcan tapas appear on board, prepared that morning and served while you dry off and the boat heads back. The whole experience runs four hours, which means you're back by early afternoon with the rest of the day still open.

Weather and sea conditions can shift the stops. The crew will choose the safest, calmest spot on the day you go. The tour runs in English or Spanish depending on the group. Infants and small children can come along. Service animals are welcome. No alcohol is served to anyone under 18.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English and Spanish.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 12 years); Infant (under 4): free.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I snorkel if I've never done it before?

Snorkeling gear is included and the water at Coll Baix is calm and clear, making it a gentle introduction. The crew is there to help you get comfortable in the water, and you can spend as much or as little time in the cove as you want during the stop.

What's the water temperature like in Alcudia Bay in the morning?

Alcudia Bay stays warm enough for swimming and snorkeling year-round, though it's warmest in summer. The morning hours mean calmer conditions and better visibility than later in the day, which is why the tour runs then.

Is the 1968 boat comfortable for four hours?

The wooden boat is built for relaxed coastal sailing, not speed, so the ride is gentle. You'll have space to move around on deck, and the pace is designed to let you enjoy the views and the stops rather than feel rushed.

What happens if the weather turns bad on the day of my tour?

The crew monitors conditions and will move the swim stop to a different cove if needed to keep everyone safe and comfortable. The tour may be rescheduled if conditions are unsafe, but morning departures usually catch the calmest water of the day.

Do I need to bring my own snorkeling gear?

No. Snorkeling equipment and paddleboards are all provided on board, along with the one complimentary drink and fresh tapas. You just need to bring a towel and sunscreen.
