Palma Quad Bike Tour with Snorkelling and Cliff Jumping Mallorca

Quad biking near Palma and the Mallorcan countryside

Just outside Palma the landscape opens into farmland, low hills and dirt tracks, and this is where the quad tour begins. You ride in a line behind a guide who sets a comfortable pace, chooses the routes and stops for photographs, so no experience is needed.

For anyone searching for a quad tour in Mallorca, this option is close to the city and easy to reach, which saves a long transfer. The ride passes almond and olive fields, and the guide explains the local land and life as you go.

The windmills of southern Mallorca

The plains around Palma were once dotted with hundreds of windmills used to pump water and grind grain, and many of these tall stone towers with their sails still stand. They make wonderful subjects for photographs and give a real sense of place.

Riding a quad past the windmills is one of the highlights of this Palma countryside adventure. The best light is in the morning or late afternoon, when the stone glows warm, and the guide will pause at good viewpoints. Allow a few minutes at each stop, because a good photograph of a stone windmill against a wide sky is worth the pause.

Snorkelling and cliff jumping in a coastal cove

In the summer itinerary the ride ends at a quiet cove on the coast. Snorkelling gear is provided, so you can float in the clear water and look for fish and sea life around the rocks. This is a great way to cool off after the ride.

Cliff jumping is optional and you choose whether to take part, with the guide showing the safest spot. If you are wondering whether the quad tour with snorkelling is worth it, the mix of dust and sea is what makes the three-hour option so much fun. The cove stop is not part of the quad-only option.

Choosing your option and getting ready

The quad-only option lasts about two hours and has no water activities, while the summer itinerary lasts about three hours and includes snorkelling and the cliff jump. Both are guided, and both are done in a group with the guide leading.

Wear closed shoes and clothes that can get dirty, and bring swimwear and a towel if you choose the water option. Drivers should bring a valid driving licence. Full insurance for drivers can be added at the shop, and the basic liability insurance is included. Arrive on time so that the briefing is not rushed and everyone gets a comfortable helmet fit.
