Experience Es Trenc con SUP y Snorkel, The Spanish Caribbean
Looking for a full-day escape that combines natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation? This guided tour to Es Trenc on Mallorca offers just that — for about $115 per person, you’ll spend roughly 7 to 8 hours exploring one of the island’s most stunning beaches, with plenty of opportunities for paddleboarding, snorkeling, and soaking up the sun.
The tour kicks off early in the morning with a comfortable pickup in a well-equipped air-conditioned van, taking you directly to the beach, avoiding the hassle of public transportation or renting a car. What’s especially pleasing is how the tour is designed to be both organized and flexible — groups of up to 8 allow for some tailored stops, which means your experience can feel personal rather than just a generic group outing.
Two things we really appreciate are the all-inclusive gear like snorkels, SUP boards, umbrellas, and coolers, making it effortless to enjoy the water and stay refreshed. Plus, the local guide — in this case, Matías — is praised for his attentiveness and friendliness, adding warmth to the adventure.
A small consideration is that lunch isn’t included, so you’ll want to bring snacks or plan to purchase food nearby. Also, since the itinerary can shift depending on logistics and group size, some travelers might find the specific beaches or stops slightly different from what’s initially expected. However, this flexibility often results in a more relaxed, less crowded experience.
This tour suits adventurous sun-seekers, families, or anyone eager to experience Mallorca’s natural side without the stress of planning every detail. If you’re a lover of beaches that feel authentic, away from commercialized resorts, and enjoy water sports, this trip hits the mark.

The Perfect Start: Pickup and Journey to Es Trenc
Your day begins bright and early at 9 a.m., with a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle that takes you from your accommodation or a designated meeting point to Mallorca’s famed Es Trenc beach. The drive is part of the experience, as your guide shares interesting tidbits about the island’s history, salt harvesting at nearby Salinas de Es Trenc, and local culture.
This early start is ideal for beating the crowds, giving you some peaceful moments on the soft, white sand and in the turquoise waters. The small group size keeps the atmosphere friendly and unhurried, perfect for soaking in the scenery without feeling rushed.
Es Trenc: The Spanish Caribbean
Once you arrive, you’ll immediately notice what makes Es Trenc so special — its pristine, natural setting. The wide stretch of white sand and the crystal-clear waters seem straight out of the Caribbean, which is why many visitors call it the “Spanish Caribbean.”
This beach is famous for its nudist-friendly areas and expansive views, making it a great spot for personal freedom and relaxation. The proximity of the Salinas de Es Trenc adds a hint of cultural flavor, where salt is still harvested using traditional methods. This adds an authentic touch, giving you a glimpse into local traditions.
Water Activities: SUP and Snorkeling
The tour’s core revolves around water-based fun. Your included SUP boards are perfect for exploring the calm waters, and the snorkeling gear allows you to discover the underwater world teeming just beneath the surface.
We loved the way the gear is provided and ready to use, meaning you can jump right in without the overhead of renting equipment or lugging your own. The GoPro underwater camera is a nice touch, letting you capture your underwater moments without fuss.
Beach Time and Games
Aside from active water sports, there’s time allocated for lounging under umbrellas, enjoying the coolers filled with ice, and playing beach games — simple pleasures that make your day both fun and relaxing.
Flexibility and Customization
Because the tour allows for itinerary flexibility based on your group’s preferences, you can spend more time on activities you enjoy most. If you’re keen to explore more secluded spots or prefer extra snorkeling, your guide can accommodate that within reason.
Authentic Mallorca and Cultural Touches
As Miriam noted in her review, the guide Matías was very attentive and friendly, making the day even more enjoyable. Although the original plan was to visit Es Trenc, logistical reasons sometimes lead to visiting other cala and playas in Llombards, which can actually enhance your experience by avoiding overly crowded spots.
What to Expect in Terms of Value and Comfort
This tour offers good value for money — considering all gear, transportation, and guided expertise are included. The convenience of not having to organize transportation, buy equipment, or find your way around makes it especially appealing.
While food isn’t included, bringing snacks or planning to grab something nearby is a small effort for the peace of mind and flexibility it provides.
