Mobile ticket
ISLAND TOUR is the best day out in Mallorca: ride the Soller train, take a boat along the coastline, visit La Calobra and enjoy a tram ride as you witness Mallorca's beautiful landscapes.
A highlight of the tour if you are from the north area pick-ups is stopping at La Calobra emblematic "Nudo de la Corbata" road, where you’ll have the chance to take some photos and enjoying a drink in the picturesque surroundings from the heights. In case of being from the south area pick-ups, we'll enjoy 40 minutes in Lluc. In both cases, we'll explore the Calobra beach and its crystal-clear waters.
Next stop by boat will be the charming coastal village of Port Soller, enjoy lunch at your leisure, and then hop aboard the local tram for a picturesque ride to Soller, where your guide will take you through the village's highlights.
Finally, sit back and unwind on the vintage wooden train as you enjoy breathtaking views of the Soller Valley's lush agricultural fields on your way to Son Reus.

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.

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.

5.00This is a wonderful trip. I loved going on it. Our guide was funny and knowledgeable. The trip was really well thought out. We loved learning about the history of the area and exploring the island. The Serra de Tramuntana is a UNESCO site for a reason, it is a stunning location and is a backdrop to this entire trip. At the Santuari de Lluc you will be recommended the Almond Gato, make sure you get it, it tastes amazing, we tried the chocolate one. Make sure to speak to the lady in the gift shop, she’ll tell you all about the history of the sanctuary and church. Port de Sa Calobra is beautiful. Make sure to grab lunch while you are there. We got lunch at Bar Playa and enjoyed the views over the port. I wish that the trip was longer. I’d have loved to have some time in Port de Sóller and Sóller so we could explore the shops and take some photographs. Would have also liked for the coach to have clear windows so I could have taken better photos from it.

1.00The tour guide appeared uninterested in our group, spending most of his day reading a book in the back of the train, on the bus, and on the boat. He offered no insights or narration on what we were viewing on the train, boat or on the tram. Only towards the end of the tour, while on the bus, did he offer any narration at all. The boat trip likely should have been cancelled. Inclement weather - rain, high winds, and heavy seas. Vomit bags were distributed only after someone vomited on passenger deck. Also, no safety briefing given on boat. Life jackets? We had no clue where they were located. We disembarked the boat at a small coastal village in the pouring rain. Another harrowing experience. Boat was rocking and rolling as we exited via planks at front of boat. Our guide then joined other tour guides and bus drivers in a cafeteria where wine bottles were noted on their table.
Very nice day.

5.00A well organised trip with the excellent Luis as our guide. The coach arrived on time and was comfortable. The scenery on the drive through the mountains was beautiful and Luis provided us with commentary. Boat trip from Sa Calobra to Puerto de Soller where there was plenty of time to get lunch before the tram to Soller and train to near Palma. It was lovely to see the north of the island, yes I'd have liked more time to explore places but it isn't possible with the itinerary. For us this was an excellent way to reach areas we'd otherwise struggle to get to. Our boys aged 2 and 6 had an amazing day despite it being a long day. Highly recommend both the trip and the company.
Lovely guide
