The best things to do in Mallorca are on the water. Catamaran cruises, boat trips, and water sports leave daily from S'Arenal, Palma, and Alcúdia, alongside buggy tours, hot air balloon flights, and a scenic island train, all run by verified local operators.

Boat trips and catamaran cruises

Catamaran and sailing trips cross the Bay of Palma and the southwest coast with swimming and snorkeling stops in calas you can't reach by road, from a short speed-boat swim stop to a sunset BBQ cruise, a sunrise dolphin-watching trip, and a full-day crossing to the Cabrera archipelago.

Jet ski, kayak and water sports

Faster on the water: jet ski tours from Arenal and Alcúdia, sea-kayak trips past caves and cliffs, paddleboard rentals, parasailing, banana boat rides, and diving and snorkeling around Calvià for beginners and certified divers.

Private yacht and sailing charters

To have the boat to yourself, private yacht and sailing charters run from half a day to a full week, from a solar catamaran in Palma Bay to a crewed sailing day around Formentor.

Tours on land: buggy, jeep and hot air balloon

Off the water, buggy, jeep, and trike tours take the scenic east-coast roads, hot air balloons lift off at sunrise, and a full-day island tour links the historic Sóller train, the Tramuntana mountains, and the coast.

When is the best time to visit Mallorca?

Boat trips and water sports run from May to October, when the sea is warmest. July and August are the busiest and hottest; May, June, and September offer the same conditions with fewer crowds and easier booking.
