About this tour
A brisk seafaring jaunt along Mallorca's southeastern shoreline departing from Cala Figuera. This intimate boat experience visits three distinct coastal highlights: a sheltered cove perfect for swimming, a dramatic natural arch, and a working fishing village. Aboard a nimble rib with a seasoned skipper and no more than 11 travellers, you'll spend roughly 40 minutes in the water before returning, completing the full outing in under two hours.
Highlights
- 40 minutes swimming time at a secluded turquoise cove
- Es Pontás rock arch—Mallorca's most photographed sea formation
- Smugglers' cave network carved into the cliff face
- S'Almonia fishing hamlet with traditional squat dwellings
- Snorkel gear provided; skip if you prefer surface swimming
- Maximum 11 passengers ensures a genuine small-group feel
- Professional skipper navigates all stops
What to expect
You'll depart Cala Figuera on a responsive rib that cuts swiftly across calm waters. The skipper will point out Es Pontás en route—a soaring limestone span that justifies its status as the coast's most recognisable landmark. Next comes the cove itself: brilliantly clear, sheltered, and ringed by high cliffs. Slip overboard for a solid 40 minutes of swimming or light snorkelling. The final leg takes you past S'Almonia, where low fishermen's cottages cluster along the shoreline, then back to base. Anticipate sun exposure, salt water, and the gentle rock of a swift boat.
Good to know
Bring a towel and reef-safe sunscreen; reapply regularly. The boat operates in small groups only—book ahead in summer. Public buses serve Cala Figuera if you lack transport. Children must stay with an adult throughout. Snorkel kit is yours to use; return it dry.
