What to Expect from the Sunset Paddle Tour

When you sign up for this experience, you’ll be met at Café SummerS in Cala Bona, a short walk from the beach. The meeting point is straightforward, and the staff will likely send you a WhatsApp with all the details once your reservation is confirmed — a nice touch that keeps the process simple.

Your adventure begins with a paddleboard rental and safety briefing, which is especially reassuring for beginners. The guide will ensure everyone is equipped with a life jacket and comfortable with the basic paddleboarding techniques before heading out. The group size is generally small, fostering a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Depending on sea conditions and your preferences, the tour might start from Cala Bona or S’Illot.

Expect about an hour of paddling — long enough to feel the rhythm of the sea and enjoy the sunset light.

The guide is usually knowledgeable about the local spots and will point out interesting features along the coast.

We loved the way this tour balances simplicity with stunning scenery. The ease of participation makes it a great choice for beginners or those who simply want a relaxing sea experience without the hassle of complicated equipment or technical lessons. The guided aspect reassures you that you’re in safe hands, especially if you’re new to paddleboarding.

The sunset timing adds an extra layer of beauty; as the sky changes color, you’re reminded how peaceful and unspoiled Mallorca’s coast can be. The fact that the tour is eco-friendly and emphasizes the quiet of the surroundings makes it feel like a genuine connection to nature rather than a commercialized activity.

One thing to keep in mind is that good sea conditions are necessary for a safe and enjoyable experience. If the wind picks up or waters get choppy, the guide might cancel or reschedule, so flexibility is advisable.
