Setting Sail from Port de Pollença

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for activities that offer both adventure and relaxation, and the Mallorca Boat Tour seemed to promise just that. Our journey began at the charming Port de Pollença, a place that immediately felt welcoming and family-friendly. The kids were thrilled as we boarded the boat, their eyes wide with excitement at the prospect of a day on the water.

The boat was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for families to spread out and enjoy the ride. As we set sail, the views of the two stunning bays on Mallorca’s north coast unfolded before us. The majestic Cap de Formentor loomed in the distance, its rugged cliffs a dramatic backdrop against the azure sea. The kids were captivated by the scenery, and I found myself grateful for the opportunity to share such a beautiful experience with them.

Discovering Hidden Gems

Our first stop was Cala de Sant Vicent, a secluded cove nestled within the Serra de Tramuntana. The boat anchored in the calm waters, and we were invited to take a refreshing swim. The kids, of course, couldn’t resist the crystal-clear turquoise waters, and neither could I. Swimming in such a serene and spectacular location was a highlight of the trip, and the kids loved the sense of adventure that came with exploring a hidden gem of Mallorca.

Back on the boat, we continued our journey, passing by the famous Formentor Beach. The flexibility of the tour allowed us to disembark and enjoy the sun and sand at our leisure. The beach was a perfect spot for a family picnic, and the kids enjoyed building sandcastles while I took a moment to relax and soak in the stunning surroundings. The convenience of the flexible ferry timetables meant we could choose when to return to Port Pollensa, making the day stress-free and enjoyable for everyone.

Captivated by Cap de Formentor

The final leg of our journey took us to the iconic Cap de Formentor, often referred to as the “Meeting Point of the Winds.” The sheer cliffs plunging into the Mediterranean Sea were a sight to behold, and the kids were fascinated by the dramatic landscape. As we approached by boat, the natural beauty of the area was truly breathtaking.

We also had the chance to see the Mirador Es Colomer Formentor from the sea, a unique perspective that offered breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline and surrounding mountains. The kids were eager to learn about the history and geology of the area, and I was happy to provide a mini-lesson on the spot. It was a perfect blend of education and adventure, and a reminder of why I love creating family-friendly travel experiences.

As we returned to Port de Pollença, I reflected on the day’s adventure. The Mallorca Boat Tour had delivered on its promise of a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, and it was a day that my family and I would cherish for years to come. Whether you’re looking for a fun family outing or a peaceful retreat, this boat tour offers something for everyone, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
