Small group, active, and short
90' Stand Up Paddle tour in a small group in Cala Ratjada
Best for: Travelers who want a guided water activity with a hands-on feel
This experience is built around stand-up paddleboarding from the sea in Cala Ratjada, with a small-group setting that keeps it personal. The format includes an introductory class plus guidance during the outing, so it suits travelers who want to try the sport rather than just watch from a boat. The itinerary note highlights the coastline views from the water, and the listed inclusions confirm paddle equipment, a snorkel mask, photos, bottled water, and a guide. It is the most active and instructional choice of the three, and the duration makes it easy to fit into a fuller Mallorca itinerary.
A guided paddle session with a learning focus
- Includes a small introductory lesson.
- Adds swimming and snorkeling time.
- Provides equipment, guide support, and bottled water.
Private, scenic, and evening-focused
Private Sunset Cruise on Sailing Boat
Best for: Couples or friends who want a calmer private outing at sunset
This private cruise is the most relaxed of the three and is centered on watching sunset from the water. The experience uses a sailing boat and is described as a yacht-style outing, with onboard comforts such as WiFi, a wireless speaker, fresh towels, bottled water, snacks, and drinks. Snorkelling equipment is included as well. The itinerary note points to sunset views from Cala Mondragó, so this option is best understood as an evening coastal cruise rather than an activity session. It suits travelers who want a private setting and a scenic end-of-day format instead of a more active route.
A private sail made for a slower evening
- Private format for your own group.
- Includes drinks, towels, WiFi, and snorkelling equipment.
- Focuses on a sunset cruise along the coastline.
Private, longer, and faster-paced
Private Half Day Cruise on a Speed Boat in Mallorca
Best for: Travelers who want a longer private boat outing with a faster pace
This is the longest experience in the set and is framed as a private speedboat cruise, so it offers a different rhythm from the paddle session and the sunset sail. The description emphasizes speed, while the itinerary notes point to Porto Cristo and Cala Ratjada, giving it a broader coastline feel. The listed inclusions confirm onboard refreshments, towels, WiFi, a wireless speaker, a stand-up paddle board, and snorkelling equipment. It is a good fit for travelers who want more time on the water and a private outing with a mix of boat travel and light activity, rather than a short lesson or a sunset-centered cruise.
A private half-day cruise with a faster feel
- Longest duration among the three.
- Private smaller-group style.
- Includes drinks, towels, snorkelling equipment, and a stand-up paddle board.
