Port de Soller Sa Calobra and Cala Tuent Speedboat Tour Mallorca

Port de Sóller and the Tramuntana coast

The tour starts at Port de Sóller, a beautiful horseshoe-shaped natural harbour on the northwest coast, reached from Sóller town by the historic tram. From here the boat heads along the Serra de Tramuntana coastline, a UNESCO World Heritage mountain range where limestone cliffs plunge straight into deep blue sea.

Much of this coast has no roads, so a boat is the best way to see it. If you are planning a day trip to Port de Sóller, a Sa Calobra speedboat tour is one of the finest activities available, and it fits easily between a walk around the port and lunch.

Sa Calobra cove and the Torrent de Pareis

Sa Calobra is a famous small cove tucked between towering rock walls, at the mouth of the Torrent de Pareis, a dramatic gorge that cuts through the mountains down to the sea. Arriving by boat lets you see the entrance from the water, without the famous winding road that most visitors take.

The pebble beach and the clear water make it a wonderful place for a swim. Many people ask how to get to Sa Calobra without driving the mountain road, and a speedboat from Port de Sóller is a quick and comfortable answer.

Cala Tuent bay and snorkelling stops

Cala Tuent is a peaceful bay a little further along the coast, with a pebble beach, a small chapel above and steep green slopes. It is quieter than Sa Calobra and a great spot to swim and snorkel among the rocks.

The tour includes two stops for swimming and snorkelling, so you can look for fish around the shoreline. Snorkel equipment is provided. Visibility is best on a calm day, and sea conditions decide exactly where the skipper stops. Its calm water and sheltered position make it a favourite stop for a relaxed swim before heading back.

Daytime or sunset: choosing your trip

The daytime tour has the best light for swimming and for seeing colours in the sea, and is often the choice of families. The sunset trip is more atmospheric, with warm light on the cliffs and a calmer feel, and is popular with couples.

Both trips last around two hours. The best time to visit Sa Calobra by boat depends on the season, with the summer months ideal for swimming. Departure times are shown in the booking panel, and the tour may be moved or cancelled if the sea is rough.
