★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 879 reviews · 2 hours · from $34

Cruise from Port d’Alcúdia along the north coast, passing Alcanada beach and its lighthouse before stopping near Coll Baix for a swim from the boat. The two-hour trip costs $34 per person.

“Great boat trip to give the kids a taster of being on a boat and catch a few of the lovely views of Majorca! Boat does pick up a few times but that didn’t bother us at all. When we stopped to swim in the sea it was all a little unorganised and chaotic with only one ladder to go down and up there was a lot of queuing - wasn’t a huge problem for us, but worth noting! I’d recommend for those with kids that want to go on a boat!”
