PRIVATE Port de Sóller, Sóller, and Sa Foradada Sunset Tour

A Private Mallorca Experience: Discovering Sóller, Port de Sóller, and Sa Foradada Sunset

This private tour takes you through some of Mallorca’s most beloved sights — the picturesque town of Sóller, the breezy Port de Sóller, and the breathtaking Sa Foradada sunset. With a price of $81 per person, it’s a manageable way to enjoy a personalized, intimate exploration of the island’s coast and countryside in about 5 to 6 hours. The group size is limited to 6 people, which means you’ll get a relaxed, conversational experience with plenty of chances to ask questions and soak up local stories.

What we especially like about this tour is how well it balances scenic beauty with authentic Mallorca culture. First, the route includes a leisurely stroll through Sóller’s lively streets, along with a chance to ride the vintage tram to Port de Sóller — a great way to see the town from a local’s perspective. Then, the highlight is the sunset at Sa Foradada, an awe-inspiring moment that’s often described as a “symphony of amber, rose, and violet,” truly unforgettable.

A small point to consider: the tour does not include tickets for the tram or food and drinks, so those are extra expenses you’ll want to budget for. Also, it’s not designed for wheelchairs or travelers over 95, so accessibility may be limited.

This experience suits travelers who love beautiful scenery, engaging guides, and a taste of authentic Mallorca without the hassle of large crowds or rigid schedules. If you’re interested in a well-organized, heartfelt look at some of the island’s best sights, and you enjoy a cozy group size, this tour might be just right.

In-Depth Review: What Makes This Tour Stand Out

The Itinerary and Its Charms

This private tour begins at 3:00 PM, offering a lovely afternoon escape from your hotel. We loved the way the guide, Szymon, seamlessly balanced storytelling with the practical aspects of the day. Starting in Sóller, you get to meander through the town’s lively streets, full of orange groves and old-world charm. The town’s architecture is colorful and inviting, featuring a catalan-style church and quaint shops, perfect for a relaxed stroll or some quick souvenir shopping.

Leisure time at a delightful café allows you to taste local Majorcan treats—whether it’s a pastry or a strong coffee. As one review noted, “the whole day was perfectly organized,” and the guide’s stories added an extra layer of appreciation for the town’s history and culture. Keep in mind, however, that you’ll need to handle your own food and drinks, as they’re not included.

The journey then continues to Port de Sóller, a coastal village that feels like a picture postcard come to life. The promenade’s gentle waves and colorful boats make for a relaxing walk, with plenty of opportunities for photos. Strolling here, you’ll see why many travelers describe it as a “peaceful escape” with stunning views of the bay. The tram ride (not included in the ticket price) adds a fun, vintage touch to the experience — a ride you might find worth the extra cost for a true local flavor.

The Sunset at Sa Foradada

The tour’s pièce de résistance is the sunset at Mirador de Sa Foradada. Situated high above the sea, the viewpoint is famous for its “pierced rock,” which gives the location its name. As the sun dips, the sky is painted in shades of amber, violet, and pink, creating an almost surreal scene. One traveler described this moment as “a fleeting, soul-stirring glow,” and many agree that it’s a highlight worth waiting for. Waves crash below, and the panoramic vistas are simply stunning.

The guide’s decision to end the day with the sunset rather than city sights was praised by travelers, who felt it offered the most genuine connection with Mallorca’s natural beauty. It’s a peaceful, reflective moment that leaves you with memories of a special day.

On the return journey, passing through the charming town of Deià and stopping in Valldemossa for a brief walk widens your experience with Mallorca’s scenic villages. These spots add a touch of authenticity and give you a taste of rural life and history.

What the Tour Includes and What It Doesn’t

Included in the price are hotel pickup and drop-off, the guide, and the scenic tour of Sóller and Port de Sóller, plus the sunset viewing at Sa Foradada. The tour spans around 5 to 6 hours, making it a comfortable half-day adventure.

Extras to consider include the ticket for the vintage tram (if you choose to ride it), food, drinks, and souvenirs. While these are not included, the guide’s local tips often help travelers find good spots to eat or shop.

Group size caps at 6 people, which many reviews emphasize as a key advantage—smaller groups mean more personalized attention, better opportunities for questions, and a more relaxed vibe.

Practical Tips for Travelers

Bring comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking through town and along the promenade. A sun hat and sunscreen are essential, especially for the sunset viewpoint — it can get quite exposed. Don’t forget your camera, as the scenery is incredibly photogenic, and a water bottle to stay hydrated.

While the tour is in English and Polish, your guide Szymon is praised for being friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience enjoyable regardless of language.

Who Will Love This Tour?

This experience is perfect for travelers who want a personalized and relaxing day exploring Mallorca’s highlights. It’s especially suited for those who appreciate stunning views, cultural insights, and authentic small-town charm. If you enjoy sunsets and want to avoid large crowds, this tour’s focus on a private, intimate group makes it a top choice.

It’s also a great pick for photographers or lovers of scenic vistas — the views at Sa Foradada are often described as “breathtaking.” And if you like a blend of leisure and discovery, with time to relax at cafés and wander artisan shops, this tour hits all those marks.
