Why You’ll Love This Speedboat Tour
If you’re craving an active, fun-filled way to see Mallorca’s coast, this 3-hour speedboat ride hits the mark. The combination of thrilling rides, scenic views, and relaxing swimming stops makes it a memorable outing. From the moment you meet at Alcudiamar Marina to the final return, you’ll feel the energy of a well-managed tour with knowledgeable guides, like Miguel, whose enthusiasm and safety focus shine through.
What really stands out is how the tour balances adventure with sightseeing — you get to zip along the coastline, viewing cliffs, caves, and beaches from a perspective larger boats can’t offer, all while enjoying good music and a lively atmosphere. The two 40-minute swimming stops are particularly appreciated, giving you time to cool off, snorkel in clear waters, and relax.
However, the one thing to keep in mind is that the tour isn’t designed for those who dislike high speeds or bumpier rides, as some reviews mention choppy waters. Still, many find the adrenaline adds to the thrill rather than detracts from comfort.
This experience suits anyone aged 8 and above looking for a dynamic, scenic, and social activity. It’s especially great for groups, families (excluding very young children), or solo travelers who enjoy a bit of adrenaline with their sightseeing.
