If you’re craving an adrenaline-pumping way to explore Mallorca’s stunning coastline, a 2-hour speedboat tour offers just that, combined with plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the sea. While I haven’t personally taken this trip, reviews and descriptions paint a vivid picture of a lively, fun, and memorable experience that many travelers find well worth the modest price of around $51.
What makes this trip stand out? First, the thrill of speeding along Mallorca’s rugged coast at full throttle. Second, the chance to discover hidden caves and coves that aren’t easily accessible by land.

The Itinerary and What You Can Expect
The tour kicks off with a pickup at Puerto Club de Mar, a central location that makes meeting easy and straightforward. You’ll want to arrive about 15 minutes early to settle in and get ready. From the moment the boat departs, you’re in for a lively ride along Mallorca’s west coast—think speeding past dramatic cliffs, rocky outcroppings, and the occasional glimpse of local wildlife.
One standout feature is the visit to caves and coves. While some reviews mention that the “caves” were rocky sections rather than classic caves, they still provide excellent photo opportunities and a sense of discovery. It’s a quick but impactful experience that adds a sense of adventure to the trip. Several reviewers highlighted the rocky cliffs as particularly scenic, with some noting that the boat’s guide was very informative, sharing interesting tidbits about the coastline.
The Snorkeling and Water Fun
Midway through, the tour pauses at a crystal-clear cove for about an hour. Here, you’ll have the chance to swim, snorkel, and enjoy the water. The snorkeling equipment is included, and reviewers loved the use of sea scooters and paddleboards. One guest commented, “The range of equipment provided made the swim more enjoyable,” and noted how the sea scooter added a fun element that made the experience memorable.
The water temperature is reportedly very comfortable, and the visibility in these coves is excellent—perfect for spotting small fish and enjoying the vibrant sea life. However, some reviews pointed out a minor downside: bits of litter in the water, which is more a reflection of current environmental issues rather than the tour itself.
The Speed and the Crew
Expect a full-throttle ride—the boat is designed for fun and adrenaline, and the captain (like Alex, praised for his professionalism and friendliness) clearly enjoys making the experience enjoyable. Many reviewers appreciated how attentive and caring the guides were, with one mentioning, “Alex reassured a nervous passenger and made her feel safe while having fun riding the waves.”
The music and free drinks on board add to the relaxed, party vibe. The boat isn’t overcrowded, so you’ll have space to relax and chat with fellow travelers. The speedboat’s seating arrangement is unique—adding a quirky touch to the ride—making it more than just a boring sightseeing trip.

Remember to bring a waterproof camera to capture those memorable moments—many travelers appreciated having their waterproof devices with them.

This tour is priced at $51 per person, making it an affordable option considering the included equipment and activities. It lasts around 2 hours, which feels just right—long enough to enjoy the thrill and explore the coast without feeling rushed.
It’s important to arrive at least 15 minutes early and wear comfortable clothes suitable for water activities. A waterproof camera is recommended for photos, and bringing sunglasses and sun protection will help you stay comfortable under the Mallorca sun.
While hotel pickup isn’t included, the meeting point at Puerto Club de Mar is easily accessible, and the pickup service from the port is a convenient perk. The tour operates in English, and cancellation is flexible—up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund—making it easy to plan.
