Mallorca Orange Valley Vintage train and orange farm

Experience Mallorca’s Orange Valley on a Vintage Train and Orange Farm Tour

This full-day adventure from Palma takes you deep into the Orange Valley of Mallorca, combining nostalgic train travel, a visit to a traditional orange orchard, and a scenic seaside tram ride. For $229 per person, you’ll get the chance to enjoy a beautifully curated experience that highlights the island’s citrus heritage, scenic landscapes, and laid-back coastal charm.

What we particularly love about this tour is its authenticity and charm — the vintage train adds a nostalgic touch, and the visit to a local orange grove immerses you in the island’s agricultural traditions. Plus, the included orange juice, regional snacks, and a relaxed pace make it feel both indulgent and genuine.

A possible consideration is that this tour starts early at the Palma station and involves some walking, so it’s best suited for travelers comfortable with a full day of mild activity. It’s ideal if you’re looking for an experience that combines scenic transport with cultural insights and a touch of leisure. This tour suits those who appreciate authentic local flavors, history, and picturesque landscapes with a relaxed timeline.

The Vintage Train from Palma to Sóller

The journey begins at the historic station in Palma, where you hop aboard a vintage train that’s been running since 1927. It’s not just transportation — it’s a step back in time. The train’s original carriages and slow, meandering pace let you appreciate the lush, rolling landscapes of Mallorca’s plains, filled with olive groves, almond trees, and citrus orchards.

Traveling in these historic carriages, you get panoramic views that are best described as postcard-perfect. The relaxed pace means you won’t be rushed, and you can really soak in the scenery. As one traveler put it, “The train ride, a short stop at the plaza near the station — just to get a taste of the feeling with a smoothie — was a charming introduction.”

Arrival in Sóller and a Self-Guided Orange Grove Visit

Once in Sóller, you’ll visit a local orange grove, a place rooted in the traditions of Mallorca’s famed Golden Valley. Here, you can explore at your own pace, walking among citrus trees and learning about the harvest and flavor profiles from informative boards.

What’s especially enjoyable is the rustic picnic provided, featuring freshly pressed orange juice, homemade marmalade, and regional snacks. Guests frequently mention how this highlight offers a genuine taste of Mallorcan produce and a chance to relax under a big tree — “we had a really nice and yummy picnic under a huge tree at the bistro,” as one review notes.

Scenic Tram Ride from Sóller to Port de Sóller

From the orchard, a vintage tram whisks you through fragrant orange groves to the charming harbor town of Port de Sóller. This tram is a classic Mallorca icon and offers a laid-back, scenic ride along the coastline.

In Port de Sóller, you’ll have about an hour of free time. You can swim in the clear waters, stroll along the promenade, or simply soak up the Mediterranean sunshine. Many travelers enjoy this peaceful seaside break, describing it as “a perfect little escape,” and some mention optional visits to the lighthouse — a short walk away.

Return Journey and Overall Experience

After your seaside stop, the vintage tram returns you to Sóller. Then, it’s time for the second ride on the historic train, winding back through the mountains toward Palma. The late afternoon ride offers stunning vistas in a relaxed, almost meditative atmosphere — “the gentle ride in the late afternoon light, with panoramic island views, makes for a magical and serene conclusion,” describes one traveler.

The entire day—from the station in Palma, through the orange groves, to the coast and back—is designed to balance scenic beauty, cultural authenticity, and comfort.

What’s Included and What to Keep in Mind

This tour covers all transport — the vintage train, tram, and return tickets — plus the orange grove visit and regional picnic. The leisure time in Port de Sóller adds a nice touch, giving you a chance to customize your afternoon.

Not included are additional food and beverages beyond the picnic, so you might want to bring some extra snacks or drinks if you have particular preferences. Also, the activity begins directly at the Palma station, so punctuality matters.

While the experience is mostly suitable for most travelers, wheelchair users may find it less accessible due to walking and historic transport conditions.

Why This Tour Works Well for Travelers

This tour is a wonderful choice for those who enjoy scenic journeys with a historic flair, a taste of local agriculture, and relaxed seaside time. It’s especially suited for travelers who value authentic experiences rather than generic sightseeing — the guided elements, regional snacks, and genuine farm visit all contribute to that.

The well-organized nature and knowledgeable guides (like Maja, who received praise for her explanations) make it easier to relax and simply enjoy the day. If you’re someone who appreciates nostalgic trains, local produce, and beautiful landscapes, you’ll likely find this tour rewarding.

Final Thoughts: Is This Tour Right for You?

If you’re looking for a day that combines history, scenery, and local flavor in a leisurely setting, this Mallorca Orange Valley experience checks all those boxes. The vintage train ride alone is worth the price for its nostalgic charm and scenic views, but the inclusion of the orange farm visit and seaside stop makes it a well-rounded journey.

It’s perfect for travelers who want a slow-paced, authentic taste of Mallorca’s citrus heritage while enjoying some downtime by the sea. The positive reviews, especially praising the guides and the well-organized itinerary, speak to its value.

However, if you prefer a more active or urban-focused day, or are traveling with mobility issues, you might want to explore other options. But for those seeking a relaxed, scenic, and culturally rich day, this tour offers a memorable slice of Mallorca’s countryside and coast.
