Mallorca: Scenic Formentor Tour by Bus & Boat

At NoFrills Excursions, we believe visiting Formentor should be more than simply getting from one place to another. With over 20 years of experience organising excursions in Mallorca, we carefully design our tours to offer the best combination of scenery, comfort and organisation. This excursion has been planned to help you enjoy the highlights of Formentor in the most comfortable and stress-free way possible. We select the best itinerary, include the scenic boat trip across Pollensa Bay and organise the timings carefully so you can enjoy each stop without rushing. Our local guides and trusted transport partners ensure a smooth experience from start to finish, while you simply relax and discover some of the most spectacular landscapes in Mallorca.

Our first stop is the famous Mirador Es Colomer, one of the most spectacular viewpoints in Mallorca. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over Pollensa Bay, Alcudia Bay and the dramatic landscapes of the Formentor Peninsula, with its steep cliffs and turquoise Mediterranean waters. We spend around 30 minutes at the viewpoint, giving you enough time to take photos, admire the scenery or simply relax while enjoying one of the island’s most iconic natural landscapes.

From the Mirador Es Colomer, you will also be able to spot the historic Albercutx Watchtower high above the cliffs of the Formentor Peninsula. Built 380 metres above sea level, this watchtower formed part of Mallorca’s coastal defence system during the 16th and 17th centuries, when pirate attacks were a constant threat around the island. During the journey, our guide shares interesting stories and local insights about the landscapes, history and hidden details of the area, helping you better understand what you are seeing along the route. This makes the excursion much more than just a transfer, allowing you to truly discover the history and scenery of Formentor while enjoying the spectacular views.

After enjoying free time at the beautiful Formentor Beach, it will be time for one of the highlights of the excursion: the scenic boat trip across Pollensa Bay to Puerto Pollensa. During the journey, you will discover the spectacular coastline of north Mallorca from the sea, with stunning views of the Tramuntana mountains, dramatic cliffs, hidden coves and sea caves that can only be fully appreciated from the water. The boat arrives at Puerto Pollensa, where the bus will already be waiting to begin the comfortable return journey to your resort. This scenic crossing adds a completely different perspective to the excursion and avoids returning along the same mountain road, making the experience even more enjoyable and complete.

The excursion continues to the famous Formentor Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in north Mallorca. Surrounded by pine trees and crystal-clear turquoise waters, this stunning beach is known for its peaceful atmosphere and soft white sand. Once reserved exclusively for guests of the historic Formentor Hotel, the beach is now open to everyone and remains one of Mallorca’s most iconic natural spots. Here you will have around one hour of free time to swim, relax, sunbathe or simply enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Formentor Peninsula.

Formentor Beach is one of the most popular and iconic beaches in Mallorca, famous for its crystal-clear waters, white sand and stunning natural surroundings. Located in the heart of the Formentor Peninsula and surrounded by pine forests and mountains, it offers a unique setting that attracts visitors from all over the world. During the excursion, you will have around one hour of free time to enjoy the beach at your own pace. You can swim in the turquoise Mediterranean waters, relax under the pine trees or simply take in the beauty of one of the most spectacular coastal landscapes in north Mallorca.
