The 10 Dragonera Island Tours We Would Book Again

1.Santa Ponta/Peguera: Dragonera Island Cruise with Swim Stop

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 544 reviews · 3 hours · from $53Our pick

Cruise from Santa Ponsa or Peguera along Mallorca’s southwest coast to protected Dragonera Island. You’ll have about an hour to visit the small museum, spot lizards, or swim, then stop again at a clear-water bay on the return. The three-hour, adults-only trip is led in English, Spanish, German, or French.

“An excellent boat trip and well worth the money! It was the first time I had booked a trip online but worth it was half the price of the tourist companies. The boat was very chilled, the 0930 tour was mainly families and so travellers. Visiting the Isla Dragonera by boat is a must! You will be give a ticket for the island on board the boat. The boat will stop briefly for swimming, if you don’t fancy a dip I highly recommend the sangria! 4 hours goes very quickly!”
