The tour is subject to train and boat timetables, so the itinerary may occasionally run in reverse order.
The route passes through mountainous areas. In case of road closures or adverse conditions, the guide may adjust the itinerary or stops accordingly.
If the boat ride to Sa Calobra is cancelled, instead of taking the bus down to Sa Calobra, we will go directly to Port de Sóller by bus and enjoy a boat ride around the bay there. This change prevents long waiting times in Sa Calobra (until 13:30) and avoids missing the tram ride in Sóller due to road restrictions.
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

What To Expect
Serra de Tramuntana
When you are on Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands, head out on this guided sightseeing day trip to discover the beauty of the island. Get comfortable aboard an air-conditioned coach and while your guide explains interesting facts about the island, enjoy spectacular views of the Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed mountain range. We begin our excursion by entering The Serra de Tramuntana on coach, which is the backbone of Mallorca. A natural beauty nourished by culture, traditions and a strong identity, where the first travellers to enjoy the island arrived in the 19th century. Its extremes, Formentor to the northeast and La Trapa to the southwest, are separated by some 90 kilometres, along which you will find numerous viewpoints, turquoise blue beaches and stone villages that are well worth a visit.
La Carretera de Sa Calobra (MA 2141)
Enjoy the coach journey as you get to travel through this beautiful stretch of the mountain roads with the guides explanations about all the different points we will come across such as Lluc Monastery, the Puig Mayor, the Torrente de Pareis stream. During this part of the trip you will have the opportunity to see one of Europe's most spectacular roads, the one that leads to Sa Calobra. The road to Sa Calobra has a total of 13 kilometres and it was built in 1932 and as we go down it you will experience a unique view of the surroundings.

All incredibly beautiful

5.00Excellent option to do the train first, the tram through Soller has no waste. The boat is not my forte I had a hard time because it moved a lot, but getting to Calobra was worth it. The impressive return trip on that 365-curve road. The visit to the Virgin of Lluc was the golden clasp, a place of serenity and respect to rest the eyes of such beauty. So much the guide Angela that she took it upon herself to explain everything in my language even though it was me and I had told her that I could understand English. Drivers Juan in the city and Tony on the road that brings them have been excellent professionals, with great management of the different situations that presented themselves along the way. I think more can't be asked
Would not recommend

1.00Local guide is not reachable by phone. We stood on the street in front of the hotel 15 min before and spent 1 hour trying to reach them. Viator was helpful by chat but would not recommend No Frills tour. Very disappointed.
Wonderful trip!!

5.00We had a wonderful trip despite booking the wrong location. They wouldn’t let us change it to leave from Palma because it was within the 24 hour period. We had to take a bus at 530 am to get there on time. Thanks to Jeanine we were dropped off at the mall by the train station which saved us a couple hours on the return trip. The train and tram were wonderful! The bus driver was wonderful through all those the winding roads!! Great trip!!
A good itinerary, spoilt by rushed connections.

4.00The itinerary is far too complicated. Coach held up on all mountain roads by excessive number of cyclists. Stop in Soller Port too short. Tram departure delayed by high tourist numbers. No time in Soller to look around. Had to get off late running tram and straight onto Wooden Railway. Great train journey but tours drop passengers off at a special stop which is just there to transfer back to coach. An interesting day but far too much rushing from one place to another.
Bus & boat yes, tram and train?

4.00The bus ride on the winding road was crazy insane. Our driver Miguel did an exceptional job of navigating the road and all the bike riders we encountered. The walk to the beach through the tunnels was remarkable. The boat ride was a great way to see the rugged cliffs along the coast. The tram ride was very crowded and the train goes mostly through tunnels, so you don’t see much from that end of the tour.
