One of the best ways to experience Mallorca's rugged coastlines of magnificent cliffs, hidden coves and majestic hilltop castles, is by taking a boat ride around the island. One of the more popular routes is the one between Puerto de Soller and Sa Calobra. For more information on the Puerto de Soller-Sa Calobra boat trip, contact Conselleria Transports - Placa d'Espanya.

For those interested in knowing what lies beneath the sea surrounding Mallorca, a tour on a glass bottomed boat would be ideal. The glass bottom boat tour leaves from the new quay by Restaurant Stay in La Gaviota and tickets may be purchased from the kiosk at entrance to the quay
