Join the crew aboard the Carpe Diem for a three-hour morning cruise from Palma. You will search for wild dolphins off Mallorca’s southwest coast, then stop in a clear cove for swimming and snorkeling. The onboard bar sells drinks and snacks, and transfers are available from Playa de Palma, Arenal, and Can Pastilla.

“Very nice boat tour, we stopped in a beautiful bay to swim and snorkel for about 15 min, then we moved to catch the dolphins (we saw a bunch of them for about 20 min). On the boat are sold cold drinks and there’s a little toilet. A very good activity overall, the only thing to say is there was no guide at all (but not strictly necessary for the activity in my opinion)”
