Hidden Coves by Small-Group Boat: Cliff Jumping & Snorkel

A small-group boat excursion with local guides to Mallorca's secret sea-cliffs and turquoise coves inaccessible by road — swim, snorkel coral-studded rock gardens, and leap from limestone ledges into water so clear the seabed is visible at 8 metres depth.

What to expect

The RIB or wooden llaüt departs from Palma's marina and rounds the headland within 20 minutes to reach limestone cliff systems unvisited by tourist beaches. Snorkelling gear, fins, and wetsuits are provided; the guide points out octopus, sea bream, and urchins in the shallows. Optional cliff jumps from 3–8 m ledges are offered with safety oversight. A cold drink and local pa amb oli (bread with olive oil and tomato) are served on a quiet anchor. Back in port well before all-aboard.

Good to know

Departures from Palma's Club de Mar Marina — 10 minutes from the cruise terminal on foot. Wear a swimsuit under clothing; bring reef-safe sunscreen. Confirm the operator's maximum group size (insist on under 10) when booking. Morning departures (9:00–9:30) give the calmest sea conditions and best light.
