“Really nice boat, friendly staff, and good food and drinks. One star less because, in my opinion, there were too many people on board. With 5–7 fewer guests, it would have been more comfortable to find seats during lunch and while swimming.”

5.Palma de Mallorca Half-Day to Caves of Hams, Blue Cave and film

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 30 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $57

Ride from selected hotels in south Mallorca to Porto Cristo for a guided visit to the Caves of Hams. The route through the chambers takes about 45 minutes and ends with a light show set to Mozart. A guide shares commentary along the way. The tour lasts about five hours, though the coach journey and route can affect the day’s pace.

“The trip is well organized. This is main reason I use Viator around the world. However Perl Factory stop was complete waste of time. Its not a factory, because nothing is made there. Just a little small outlet which sells some pearls and cloth for men and women. The caves however are totally fantastic and its a main reason of this tour. I would rate trip with 5 star but the Perl factory must go.”

11.Private Half-Day Sailing Trip with Tapas & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 4 hours · from $147

Set out from Palma on a private four-hour sail aboard a 43-foot monohull with an English- or Spanish-speaking skipper. Expect coastal views, tapas, drinks, snorkeling gear and paddleboards. Gabriel, Gabi and Maria are among the hosts named by past customers. Confirm your departure point and route timing before booking.

“Gabriel was brilliant. We got very lucky and ended up as the only passengers after our slot had to be rearranged due to the weather. We were looked after so well, the food was as lovely and we got a dip in the (freezing!) water in the bay. Gabriel even let us all drive the boat for a bit! Would recommend going for the private hire of the whole boat if possible - we felt 9 people would be a squeeze for seating and changing after swimming when you’re all strangers (max 4-6 would be fine in that situation). We were a group of three and had loads of room.”
