Compare Mallorca's best snorkeling boat tours side by side: sea-cave speedboat trips from Alcúdia, the Bay of Palma marine reserve, kayak-and-snorkel adventures, and a beginner dive-and-snorkel trip, with real prices, ratings, durations, and departure points.
What You Should Know
- A Mallorca snorkeling boat tour usually means one of three things: a fast speedboat or motorboat trip that visits the coastal sea caves and stops to snorkel (from €33), a guided Bay of Palma trip that anchors in the marine reserve to snorkel with a marine biologist or a drink included, or a more active kayak-and-snorkel or beginner-dive trip that paddles into the blue sea caves. Most run 2 to 3 hours.
- The north coast around Alcúdia and the Cap de Formentor peninsula is the island's snorkeling-boat hub: the water is clear, the coast is lined with sea caves, and most speedboat, pirate-cave, and kayak trips leave from Port d'Alcúdia. The Bay of Palma (El Arenal, Can Pastilla) is the other main base, with cheaper, shorter trips into its marine reserve.
- Prices run from €33 for a 2-hour Bay of Palma snorkel trip to €75 to €80 for a 3-hour sea-cave speedboat, kayak expedition, or a beginner scuba-and-snorkel trip. Snorkel gear is included on every tour here; food and drinks usually are not, with the exception of the Palma trip that includes a drink.
- These are warm-season trips. The sea is calm and warm enough to snorkel comfortably from about May to October, with June to September the most reliable. Morning departures get the calmest, clearest water, and the sea caves are only entered when conditions allow.
Snorkeling Boat Tours in Mallorca
Looking for the best snorkeling boat tour in Mallorca? The island's clear water and cave-riddled coast make it one of the Mediterranean's best places to snorkel from a boat, and a Mallorca snorkeling tour can be anything from a quick €33 trip into the Bay of Palma marine reserve to a 3-hour speedboat run through the sea caves of the north coast. This guide compares the 8 most popular snorkeling boat tours in Mallorca side by side on price, reviews, duration, departure point, and type, so you can match the right snorkel tour Mallorca offers to where you are staying and how active you want to be.
Broadly, a snorkeling tour Mallorca falls into a few kinds. The speedboat and motorboat trips cruise the coast, slip into the sea caves, and anchor for a snorkel, the easiest way to combine sightseeing with time in the water. The Bay of Palma trips are the cheapest and shortest, dropping anchor in the marine reserve to snorkel, sometimes with a marine biologist or a drink included. And the kayak-and-snorkel and beginner-dive trips are the active options, paddling into the blue sea caves or trying scuba before a snorkel.
