The 10 Best Day Trips from in Majorca, Balearic Islands

December 4, 2021 Nobuko Falco

The dreamy island that provided inspiration to Chopin and Miró now has a reputation as a spring break beach destination. Don't worry, though, if you're vacationing over elementary school spring break-- there's plenty for the younger crowd. Marineland's dolphin and sea lion shows and children's beach attract families. And if you have a Thomas-obsessed toddler, the antique train that travels between Palma and Soller is a must-see.

Prepare to discover the different wineries on the island of Mallorca. Its Mediterranean weather allows you to produce excellent wines recognized throughout Europe. You will visit two different wineries, a private tour through a more familiar and authentic Mallorcan winery with a small wine production but with a delicate elaboration and a cellar with large vineyards and olive trees, with views of the Serra de Tramuntana. It is important to know the different ways of making and preparing wines, and the techniques used by winemakers.

Fernando is a great host with a lot of experience. He lives in the village and seems to know all the locals. He does not only know the way, you also get a lot of interesting stories about the area. From the history and the present time... Fernando is a licensed, very professional hiking guide (MTB too) and he is very friendly. We finished it off with a few local beers in the Underground pub.

I booked the boat for my husband's birthday. The service was impeccable and friendly. The boat is a lovely size and really clean too. The hire was a very reasonable price for the three hours we had it. We stopped over in two locations that we were recommended and both were lovely to stop and swim in. My best experience of 2019, highly recommend!

My family of 5 (me, husband, 14, 12 and 10 year old kids) had an amazing afternoon and evening with Ramiro. He was very flexible from the very beginning and even let us edit our day based on the weather. He was extremely friendly, responsive and professional. His boat - the Doria, was beautiful and has 3 bedrooms and 2 spotless bathrooms! He offered us options of where to go and we decided to head North, which included a stop at the beautiful Torrent de Pareis and several quiet coves where we all went paddle boarding! We saw so many beautiful sites including dolphins! This was definitely our kids favorite day on vacation. We weren't pressed for time and so he happily staying out longer. We would definitely go again!
