Scenic Drives Through Mallorca

For those who prefer the open road, the Scenic Island Drive offers a thrilling adventure through the picturesque landscapes of Mallorca. Available from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM on both days, this tour allows you to explore the island in a high-power sports convertible, making it an unforgettable experience for car enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

The drive takes you through some of the most iconic spots in the southwest of Mallorca, including the winding roads of the Sierra de Tramontana. With stops at beautiful locations like Puerto Portals and the Mirador de Ricardo Roca, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to capture stunning views and create lasting memories with your family.

“This was a great experience! - This was a great way to see the island. We drove along the water and also into the mountains. The cars were manual transmission with lots of pep and fun to drive. All were equipped with GPS so even if we went the wrong way, we could find our way back to the route. Wish I had brought my mini-plug converter so I could have plugged in to the car’s auxiliary connection so I could have listened to my own music during the drive. That would have made it perfect! We had a lot of fun on this tour.” - Reviewed on 2024-10-02
