About this tour
This 8-hour loop from Palma takes you on a rambling journey across Mallorca using three different modes of transport. You'll ride the vintage wooden train through the Serra de Tramuntana to Sóller, hop aboard a short tram ride to the port, then board a boat that hugs the dramatic northern coastline to La Calobra. After time to explore the cove and swim if conditions allow, you'll return by coach over winding mountain roads, seeing the island from multiple angles in a single day.

- Coastal boat journey with cliff views, 40 minutes

What to expect
You'll start from central Palma and head to the railway station where the nostalgia kicks in—the train itself is a proper throwback with wooden carriages. The hour-long ride winds through mountain terrain with genuine views. Once in Sóller, you transfer directly to a tram (no waiting around) for the short descent to the harbour. The boat segment is the visual centrepiece: 40 minutes of coastal cruising where those northern cliffs really do dominate. At La Calobra, you've got a solid hour and a half to walk the footpath down to the beach, wade about, or just sit with a drink. The return journey goes inland through the mountains by coach, which beats retracing your steps.
Good to know
All three transport legs are included. Bring swimwear and sun protection if you plan to swim at La Calobra—the water is cold but refreshing. Wear comfortable shoes for walking around the cove. The coach ride back crosses steep, winding roads but nothing extreme; it's just slow-paced.
