A fun, scenic way to explore Mallorca’s southwest coast and mountains
If you’re looking for a unique way to see Mallorca that combines adventure, breathtaking scenery, and a touch of local charm, then the 3 Hours Trike Sunset Tour from Paguera might just be your perfect fit. For around $136 per group (up to three people), you get to hop aboard an automatic three-wheeled trike—either as a driver (if you have a license and some experience with a hand throttle) or as a passenger—and wind your way through some of the most captivating parts of this Mediterranean island.
What we really love about this tour is how it offers a personalized experience—with a small group size, friendly multilingual guides, and the freedom to enjoy spectacular views without the hassle of driving yourself. Plus, the sunset timing makes for a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, perfect for couples, small families, or friends wanting an authentic slice of Mallorca.
A small consideration is the need for good weather, as outdoor activities like this can be less enjoyable in poor conditions. Also, if you’re not comfortable driving a trike or do not have a license, you’ll be happy to know you can still join as a passenger, which broadens the appeal.
This tour suits travelers who value scenic beauty, fun, and a dash of adventure—especially those eager to experience Mallorca beyond its beaches, in a way that’s both exhilarating and relaxed.

Discover Mallorca on a Guided Trike
When we first heard about this 3-hour sunset trike tour from Paguera, we thought it sounded like a delightfully different way to see the island. With a price of about $135, it’s not the cheapest option on Mallorca, but considering the personalized nature, scenic variety, and the fun of riding in a small group, it’s a worthwhile investment for those craving an authentic experience.

Why We Love This Experience
The first thing that caught our eye was the guidance. The tours are led by knowledgeable guides who speak multiple languages, making it easy for all travelers to follow along and feel comfortable. As one reviewer noted, “Tour guide spoke all different languages easy to understand and follow,” which helps create a friendly, inclusive atmosphere.
Second, the stunning scenery truly stands out. Traveling along the southwest coast and through the Tramontana mountains offers diverse vistas—waves crashing against cliffs, mountain ridges, and lush valleys. As one guest said, “Beautiful stops, great tour guide, and wonderful views,” which perfectly captures the experience.
A Small Drawback
One consideration is that the tour can be fast-paced, especially the part about keeping to scheduled times. A reviewer mentioned, “it was just stress to follow the group,” which suggests that if you prefer a more relaxed pace, it’s worth communicating this beforehand. Also, for those not comfortable driving or without a license, you might prefer to join as a passenger rather than as the driver.
Who Will Love This Tour?
This adventure is best suited for adventure-seekers and scenic lovers who enjoy the thrill of riding a trike and want to see Mallorca from a different vantage point. It’s also ideal for couples, small groups, or families with older children who can handle the mountain roads and short stops. The sunset timing ensures a peaceful, visually stunning experience, making it perfect for romantic getaways or memorable family outings.
A detailed look at the itinerary
While in Mallorca, here are other experiences we've covered
Stop 1: Mirador Illes Malgrat
Our first stop is the Mirador Illes Malgrat, a quick 10-minute visit to a protected marine reserve. While there’s no admission fee, the view of the Malgrat Islands—which are uninhabited and only 100 hectares—offers a quiet, natural start to our journey. We loved that this spot felt untouched and provided an authentic sense of the island’s natural beauty. One review mentioned, “The Malgrat Islands are a beautiful, unspoiled nature reserve,” which captures why this stop is special.
Stop 2: Palma de Mallorca
Next, we zoom into the vibrant capital, Palma. The highlight here is the Gothic La Seu Cathedral, built in the 13th century. Our guide provided a quick overview of its architecture and history, making the 10-minute stop more than just a photo op. Many travelers find Palma’s historic center lively and charming, and even a brief stop allows for a quick taste of the city’s energy. The review “Beautiful view, plenty to see, total recommend” shows how even a short visit leaves a lasting impression.
Stop 3: Calvia
The historic town of Calvia offers a glimpse into traditional Mallorca life with its ocher-colored houses and almond trees. It’s a quiet contrast to the busier coastal spots, and we appreciated the opportunity to see a different, more authentic side of the island. The review “Nice tour guide, wonderful views, and lots of fun driving” highlights how relaxed and enjoyable this part of the trip can be.
Stop 4: Port d’Andratx and Camp de Mar
The Port d’Andratx is often called one of the most beautiful natural harbors in the Balearics. Here, we had a full 20 minutes to take photos, soak in the scenery, and enjoy the sunset, which many reviews rave about. One traveler mentioned, “Sunset at Port d’Andratx is spectacular—definitely a highlight,” emphasizing how special this moment is.
Following this, the tour heads to Camp de Mar, a plush beach resort area lined with upscale hotels. It’s a great place to wind down, enjoy a drink, or just gaze at the sea before heading back to Paguera.
The experience and what it means for you
The small group size (max 15 travelers) enhances the feeling of personalization. The guides are multilingual, making it easy to understand and follow along, and their local knowledge shines through as they point out interesting details about each stop.
The inclusion of gasoline, helmets, and cold drinks adds value, especially considering the adventure level. The flexibility for passengers allows those without a license or who prefer not to drive to still enjoy the ride. It’s evident the operators want everyone to have a comfortable, memorable experience.
The timing, roughly 3 hours and 90 kilometers, strikes a good balance—long enough to see a variety of sights but short enough not to tire out. The sunset timing especially makes the trip magical, with the changing light transforming the landscape into a painter’s palette.
What you might want to consider
If you’re not comfortable driving a trike or don’t have a license, you’ll be joining as a passenger—so check whether you prefer to sit back and enjoy. Also, because the tour is subject to traffic conditions and time constraints, some reviewers noted a fast pace, which might not suit everyone seeking a slow, leisurely experience.
Why this tour offers excellent value
Compared to other Mallorca excursions that may be more expensive or less personalized, this trike tour delivers a mix of adventure, scenic diversity, and local insight. It’s especially appealing for those who want to see Mallorca’s less touristy, more natural spots without sacrificing comfort or safety. The inclusion of snacks, helmets, and guides further boosts the value, making it a well-rounded experience.
Who should book this tour?
Travelers who enjoy outdoor activities will find this a perfect fit. It’s also ideal for couples and small groups wanting a memorable, scenic experience with a dash of adventure. If you appreciate stunning views, guided insights, and a relaxed schedule, this tour hits the mark. However, if you prefer a slower pace or are uneasy on mountain roads, you might want to consider alternative options or join as a passenger.
