Mallorca · 1-HOUR EXPERIENCES
The popular 1-hour experiences fill up in July and August, and the best go first. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Glide through Palma’s old town on a guided Segway tour of about 75 minutes. You’ll get a helmet, basic riding instruction, and English commentary from guides such as Mario or Juan, with stops for church, convent, and building architecture, local history, and photos. Monument entry is not included.
“Very experienced guy, very friendly and took us safely across the old town. Great experience overall”
Ride through Palma’s Old Town on an electric scooter with a guide, stopping to discuss church and convent architecture, local history, and landmarks such as the Cathedral, Almudaina Palace, and Parque del Mar. The one-hour tour includes a helmet and guide, runs with no more than eight people, and returns to its starting point.
“Great electric scooter tour. Mario the guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable. We learnt a lot about the history of Palma and Mallorca”
In about an hour, you’ll ride a Segway around central Palma with a guide, stopping at landmarks including the Cathedral of Mallorca, the Royal Palace and Sa Llotja. A short briefing and helmet are provided. Guides Nina and Nicolas have been praised for their clear, attentive approach, though your guide may differ.
“The 1 hour Segway tour was the perfect amount of time in the heat. We saw everything, our guide (Nina) was excellent, very knowledgable and informative. We had a great time. Would recommend.”
Meet BonaOna Surf School in Can Pastilla for a private, one-hour paddleboarding lesson off Mallorca. An instructor teaches technique and guides your time on the water, with views across Palma Bay and a chance to look down at the seabed. Boards, paddles, rash guards, lockers and showers are included. Bring swimwear, a towel and sunscreen.
“It was amazing! The teacher was very expert, patient and guided each single one of us and corrected us to improve our technique”
Share one jet ski with a passenger as a guide leads you along Alcudia Bay’s coast, past coves and caves, with a stop to swim and snorkel. The roughly one-hour rental includes fuel, safety vests, insurance and a briefing. Guide Sam has been praised, though guides can vary. Photos are not included.
“SCAM! Avoid this company & Nofrills Excursions. They don’t give you any information, just steal your money & deny a refund. The lady we spoke to advised to return to Nofrills for a refund, went back to the office to be told they don’t do refunds.”
Meet Windpirates at Port d’Alcúdia and sail a Hobie Cat 16 with a qualified monitor beside you. This private outing is priced for two and takes in Alcúdia Bay, the coast near Playa de Muro and views toward Aucanada. Expect a hands-on, wind-powered ride, not a large sightseeing boat.
“It Wasnt sunny enough but the trip and experience are till wonderful ,recommend especially on a sunny day”
From Platja d’Alcúdia, a speedboat takes you along Mallorca’s north coast for photo stops, a 15 to 20 minute swim in a quiet cove, and visits to two caves. The group is capped at 12. Captain Geronimo has led some trips, and snorkeling gear may be limited, so bring your own snorkel.
“Grandsons aged 12 and 14 loved the fast, thrilling speedboat ride plus sailing into the caves and swimming in the cove. Excellent trip - good value for money and very well organised.”
Pick a harbour, a cave or a mountain road.
