The 15 Cave Boat Tours in Spain Worth Going Under For

1.From Can Picafort: Dolphin Watching and Cave Boat Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 987 reviews · 3 hours · from $82Our pick

Set out from Can Picafort with a guide such as Tony or Emilio for a three-hour speedboat trip along Mallorca’s north coast. Watch for wild dolphins, pause by a sea cave, and swim with a snorkel mask in a clear cove near Es Coll Baix. Sunrise departures add beautiful early light, but bring a jacket and expect spray.

“It was fantastic!! You swim/snorkel in the warmer months, he did give us the option to swim if we wanted to. Our guide was awesome and gave us loads of facts about Mallorca as we went along the coastline. We saw so many dolphins. The caves were cool. We saw birds and even mountain goats. You need a jumper this time of year as at high speed it gets chilly. Worth the money. Thank you Tony.”

They showed us how they were made, and then we had to walk to their shop. This was all over with in half an hour. The caves were definitely the highlight, really nice maintained, impressively lighted, very nice. We were even allowed to take pictures.

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 376 reviews · from $14Best value

“Fun. Morning trip out along the coast to near one of the caves. Lovely to see Denia from the water. I thought it was the faster boat, but turned out to be the catamaran so I was happy with that. We got used to the loud 80's disco music , also not quite what we expected, but it added to the atmosphere, in a way. I'd have preferred it quieter, but on way back waves drowned out the music. No swimming, as advertised, as it's late in season. About 30 on board, all mad on taking photos!”
