About this tour
When Sarah from our team ran this Mallorca beach tour with The Happy Vans, she hit up multiple spots—Caló des Moro, Cala Llombards, and scenic viewpoints—in one 7–8 hour loop rather than camping at one crowded patch of sand. Small groups and local guides meant it never felt like a cattle run. You're swimming, snorkeling, and if you're keen, cliff jumping. Gear's sorted (snorkel kit, water shoes, beach blanket), so it's genuinely low-stress.
Highlights
- Skip the single-beach grind; hit three quality spots in one day
- Local guide who knows which bays stay quieter mid-morning
- Snorkeling gear and water shoes included—less faff at arrival
- Caló des Moro's turquoise water and dramatic limestone backdrop
- Optional cliff jumps for those after a genuine adrenaline hit
- Small-group vibe meant guides actually remember your name
- Beach blanket provided; one less thing to hire separately
What to expect
Sarah's day started early—pickup from your accommodation, then straight into a van with a handful of other travellers and a guide who steers you to the quieter stretches before the mid-morning rush. You'll stop at scenic lookouts (the kind you'd miss driving solo), then drop into the water for a snorkel. The pace is relaxed; it's not a sprint between beaches. Caló des Moro lives up to its rep: bright blue water, craggy rocks, and enough space to actually breathe.
What genuinely stood out: the guide's calls on timing. He knew when to move on before a beach got rammed, and the snorkeling gear actually fit and worked—no dodgy masks fogging up immediately. The cliff jump option was genuinely optional (no pressure), and the blanket saved buying or renting beach kit. Weather dependent though; if the wind picks up, some spots get choppy.
What travellers say

- Significant walking and clambering; early fitness assumption
- Beach towel an extra cost; minor but worth packing yourself

Good to know
This tour earns its stripes if you want multiple quality beaches in one hit without the logistics headache. Small groups (not tour-bus sized) mean you're not queuing for snorkel gear or fighting for shade. Local knowledge cuts out the guesswork—your guide knows which bays stay calm and which paths are worth climbing. Suits most fitness levels, and the optional cliff jump means keen swimmers get their buzz without pressure on others.
It's not recommended if you're pregnant. You're on your feet quite a bit, clambering between vans and walking to viewpoints—bring decent shoes and water. Beach towel isn't included, so pack one or hire locally (extra cost). Early start suits some, not others. Peak season (July–August) means even "quieter" beaches have people; shoulder months are better if you can swing it.
7–8 hours total. Snorkel gear, water shoes, and beach blanket provided. Bring a towel, sunscreen, and a rash guard if you're fair-skinned. Small groups (check capacity before booking). Groups fill faster in summer; book ahead.
