Setting Sail on a Family Adventure

As a travel writer and a mother of three, I’m always on the lookout for activities that promise both adventure and relaxation for the whole family. Our recent trip to Port de Pollença in Mallorca was no exception. The Mallorca Catamaran Tour seemed like the perfect blend of scenic beauty and family-friendly fun, and it did not disappoint.

Our journey began with a convenient minibus pick-up from our hotel in Alcudia Bay. The driver was friendly and set the tone for the day with his good humor. As we arrived at the port, the sight of the Robinson Catamaran waiting for us was enough to excite my children. The catamaran was spacious, accommodating around 40 passengers, with plenty of seating options both inside and out. My kids were particularly thrilled about the nets where they could sit and feel the sea breeze.

The crew welcomed us warmly, and as we set sail, the stunning views of the Majorcan hills and coves unfolded before us. The catamaran was steady, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the scenery without any worries. A short commentary on the places of interest added an educational touch to the trip, which I always appreciate as a former schoolteacher.

Diving into the Crystal Waters

Our first stop was a secluded cove where the real adventure began. The crew provided snorkeling equipment, paddleboards, and even toggles and life jackets for less confident swimmers, ensuring everyone could participate safely. My youngest, who had never swum in deep water before, was initially hesitant but soon joined in with the help of a life jacket. Watching her face light up as she explored the underwater world was a highlight of the trip.

For those who preferred to stay dry, the catamaran offered a perfect vantage point to soak in the majestic setting. The clear waters and the surrounding natural beauty were simply breathtaking. It was a moment of pure joy and relaxation, a chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

After our swim, we sailed to another beautiful cove where we had an hour to explore the beach. My children loved wading in the shallow waters and collecting shells, while I took the opportunity to relax and enjoy the sun. The crew’s attentiveness and the friendly atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable.

A Delicious Lunch and More Adventures

Back on board, we were treated to a delicious lunch with a choice of drinks. The meal was a delightful mix of local flavors, and there were options for everyone, including my picky eaters. The availability of reasonably priced soft drinks, coffee, tea, and alcohol was a nice touch, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely meal as we continued our journey.

Our final stop was yet another lovely cove, offering one last chance to swim, snorkel, or simply relax on the catamaran. By this time, my children were completely at ease, diving into the water with newfound confidence. It was heartwarming to see them embrace the adventure and make the most of the experience.

As we sailed back to the port, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the day we had. The Mallorca Catamaran Tour was a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and family bonding. The friendly crew, the stunning scenery, and the well-organized activities made it a memorable experience for all of us. I would highly recommend this tour to any family looking for a fun and engaging way to explore the beauty of Mallorca.
