Highlights

- Sóller port as departure point (itself worth visiting)
Our take
Sa Calobra by boat from Sóller is one of Mallorca's greatest experiences: the coastal scenery alone is worth it, and the gorge walk at the end makes it unforgettable. Do not take the road instead — the boat approach is completely different.
What's included
- Boat trip from Sóller to Sa Calobra and back
- Time at Sa Calobra for the gorge walk
Not included
- Transport to/from Sóller port
- Food and drink
Good to know
What to bring
- Walking shoes (the gorge walk has uneven terrain)
- Sunscreen and hat

Things to keep in mind
- The Torrent de Pareis walk is a highlight; wear shoes you can get wet — parts of it have standing water
- Sa Calobra is also reachable by road (the famous corkscrew road) but the boat is a far better experience
- Summer mornings have the calmest sea and best light
Meeting point
Port de Sóller, Mallorca
Port de Sóller is 30 km north of Palma by the Ma-11 mountain road. By public transport, take the wooden train from Palma to Sóller (one of Mallorca's most scenic journeys), then the tram down to the port. Confirm the exact departure point with the operator on your voucher.
The experience
What you'll see
This boat trip takes you along the wild north-west coast of Mallorca from the picturesque harbour of Sóller to the remote cove of Sa Calobra — one of the most spectacular and least accessible spots on the island.
The coastal journey
The Serra de Tramuntana mountains drop almost vertically into the sea along this stretch of coastline. From the boat you'll see towering limestone cliffs, sea caves, and wild landscapes that are inaccessible by road.
Sa Calobra cove
Sa Calobra is Mallorca's most dramatic cove: a narrow opening in the cliffs where the Torrent de Pareis river meets the sea. The cove is backed by walls of pale limestone hundreds of metres high.
The Torrent de Pareis gorge walk
From the cove, a path leads through a narrow limestone gorge — sometimes only a few metres wide — that cuts through the mountain. The walk takes about 20–30 minutes and involves scrambling over rocks. Parts may have standing water from the seasonal river.
Who it's for
- Anyone visiting Mallorca who wants to see the island's dramatic wild coast.
- Hikers and nature lovers who enjoy a short walk in spectacular scenery.
Who it's not for
- Visitors with mobility difficulties: the gorge walk is physically demanding.
- People with severe seasickness: the northern coast can have rough seas.
Accessibility
Not wheelchair accessible. The boat boarding and the gorge walk require physical agility.
Cancellation policy
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before with full refund.
