The Logistics and Transportation
Starting from a choice of six pickup points—Palma, Ca’n Pastilla, S’Arenal, Peguera, Magaluf, and Portals Nous—the tour offers considerable convenience.

The Beaches: Cala Agulla, Cala Molto, and Cala Mesquida
Cala Agulla: First Stop
We start at Cala Agulla, a beach often described as “speechless.” Surrounded by pine forests and rugged mountains, it’s a classic Mallorca scene. The golden sands stretch out enough to find your own spot, whether for sunbathing, beach games, or just soaking up the views. The crystal-clear waters invite you to swim, snorkel, or simply drift.
The surrounding trails are perfect if you’re into light hiking or nature walks, and plenty of reviewers mention that the natural landscape adds to the appeal. One traveler highlighted how the guide provided local insights, making the visit more meaningful.
Cala Mesquida: The Wild Child
Next, Cala Mesquida is famous for its dunes and intense blue sea. It has a rugged, natural vibe, often windy enough to attract surfers and kite flyers. But there are calmer spots for those who prefer to lounge or paddleboard. Many mention that the scenery feels like being on another planet—dunes blending into the sea, a wild but beautiful environment.
A reviewer raved about Cala Mesquida’s scenery, calling it “another world,” and appreciated the chance to relax amid unspoiled nature.
Cala Molto: The Hidden Gem
Finally, Cala Molto is a smaller, more intimate cove—a true secret spot for tranquility and underwater discovery. Surrounded by greenery, it’s perfect for snorkeling, offering clear waters and fish at your feet. This beach is less crowded, giving you space to unwind and connect with nature.
Several reviews emphasize Cala Molto’s beauty, with one traveler calling it “the most beautiful beach I saw in Mallorca.” It’s ideal if you want a peaceful end to your water-filled day.
Water Activities and Time Allocation
Each beach gets about three hours of your time—ample for swimming, exploring caves, cliff jumps, or paddleboarding. The tour provides all necessary gear—paddleboards, snorkeling masks, and GoPro—so you don’t need to bring anything special (though you might want to bring your own waterproof camera or phone case).
The guide takes care of safety and instruction, so even beginners can enjoy paddleboarding or snorkeling. The opportunity to jump off cliffs and explore caves adds an element of thrill and discovery. Several reviews mention how guides like Theo made the experience memorable, with personalized attention and local stories.
