During the first part of the tour we will travel by coach from the East Coast to the Tramuntana Mountain Range which is a Unesco World Heritatge Site thanks to its breathtaking landscape. There we will:
Enjoy the coach journey as you get to know better this beautiful area with the guides explanations about all the different points we will come across such as Lluc Monastery, the Puig Mayor, the Torrente de Pareis stream. During this part of the trip you will have the opportunity to see one of Europe's most spectacular roads, the one that leads to Sa Calobra. The road to Sa Calobra has a total of 13 kilometres and it was built in 1929 and as we go down it you will experience a unique view of the surroundings.
In Sa calobra you will have free time which you can use to explore the area. In this beautiful corner of Mallorca you can swim at the beach, take a stroll to the mouth of the Torrente de Pareis or just sit down, relax and enjoy the view. There are also a few restaurants where you can grab something to eat or have a coffee as you make the most out of this secluded paradise.
The next part of the tour begins as we board a modern boat for a 40 minute ride. This boat trip will take us from Sa Calobra to the Port of Soller, as we boarder the coast you will witness Mallorca's beauty in a way that will exceed your expectations. Observing from out at sea ancient defensive towers, coves, cliffs, marine caves, small islands is an image you will keep with you forever.
Once we arrive into the Port of Soller it will be time to take the Soller tram. The journey takes approximately 25 minutes and ends at Soller's classic railway station in Soller Town. During this ride on the Soller Train, we will go through orchards full of lemon and orange trees which is Soller's most famous landscape and the tram will take us straight through the town itself.
The highlight of this Mallorca Island Tour for many is the train ride. This experience will be the finishing touch that will make you fall completely in love with the island. You will board Soller's world famous wooden train of Soller which was built in 1912. The train crosses Soller's valley as it goes through various tunnels giving us priveledged views of the valley as we reach the town of Bunyola and we stop to get off at the Son Reus station. There our coach will be awaiting us to take us back to where we began the tour earlier in the day.

Mallorca: Scenic Island Tour by Bus, Boat, Train, Tram. Reviews
Maria our guide was very good, effortlessly switching between three languages on the coach, I had fun testing my ancient A-level French!!! As the weather wasn't great there was a change to our itinerary...we went straight to Soller for a short boat trip instead of getting it from Sa Calobra. I think this wasn't necessarily a bad thing looking at the reviews for the eateries there!!! The only thing missing for me was possibly someone talking about points of interest on the boat trip. In Soller we managed to get a reasonable menu del dia at a restaurant frequented by the locals, though we were a bit tight for time!! As previously reported the tram ride was first come first served for seats and we helped some ladies who were less able to get on and off. There were enough seats on the train for everyone and by that time the sun appeared which made for an enjoyable journey. We struck lucky in that we were picked up last in the morning and dropped off first on our return 🙌 All in all we thought it was good value for money considering how much of the island we got to see. Special mention goes to the coach driver who negotiated the hairpin mountain bends with ease, our heart was in our mouths on several occasions 😆
A great tour, although feels a little rushed once you get to Soller for the tram and train. You have very little time for anything except a toilet break/buy an ice cream - make sure you have some lunch in Calobra. The drive across the mountain range was great, with spectacular views and spectacular driving from our coach driver. Our guide was very knowledgeable, but with him speaking in 3 different languages (German, French and finally English) you found yourself not listening at times or not realising he had switched to English. Also he favoured German first, followed by French and on occasions had to be reminded to also speak English whilst the Brits stood there now knowing what was going on. Very frustrating, especially as that gave everyone else a head start for the toilet resulting in a long queue by time the Brits got their instructions. The UK may no longer be in the EU, but the British pound is still as good as the Euro.
The overall trip was very good, the journey over the mountains was fantastic, our guide Chris, she was very good on the coach but when we got off the coach she seemed to stick to German, there was also a time on the coach something was said and people started clapping but we didn't know what for, we have found this on our entire holiday they seem to favour Germans. Al nationalities should be equal as our money is just as good. When we got to port se soller it felt like a free for all trying to get on the tram and my wife and I ended up standing where the driver usually is. Then we got to soller we rushed straight over to the train which was a fantastic trip through the mountains back to the pick up point, but my wife and I would have liked to spend a bit more time in port de soller and soller. When we got back on the coach and were dropping people off back to their hotels we got 1 stop away from our hotel which was the last stop after 2hr coach trip and the driver and a male passenger got into a conversation for quite some time outside hotel Fergus, which made our last part much longer, they didn't seem to care that they were delaying our getting to our hotel and we felt this was rude. The trip it self was very good and we got to see some fantastic scenery and places.
Una bellissima escursione. Potrai vivere le vera natura dell’isola di Maiorca attraverso la Serra di tramuntana, meravigliarti davanti alla baia di Sa Calobra e infine rivivere il passato a bordo del treno storico in legno. La nostra guida, un signore di cui purtroppo mi sono dimenticato il nome, è stata eccezionale. Parlava in ben 5 lingue e spiegava tutto nei dettagli. Consigliata per una giornata alla scoperta dell’isola di Maiorca
It was very comfortable and nice
There were 9 in our party. We had a great day . Every part of the excursion was enjoyable and the Tour guide ( Asiz ) was knowledgeable with a good sense of humor.Highly recommended.
This was a day long excursion with 2 teenagers. But we found it enthralling from start to finish.The itinerary was excellent, aided by our friendly and knowledgeable guide. We would not hesitate to recommend it to others
It was a lovely experience. The team was quick to respond and help with a mistake in my booking and ensure things went smoothly. They pick up was on time and no issues anywhere throughout the trip. Special shout out to our guide Aziz for his composure and witty remarks throughout the day. Highly recommend.
