This 8-hour Formentor and Pollensa tour from Palma is a carefully planned full-day excursion that combines local culture, scenic landscapes and coastal relaxation. After pick-up, the day begins with a visit to one of Mallorca’s most authentic weekly markets: Alcudia Market on Tuesdays and Sundays, or Sineu Market on Wednesdays, depending on the day and departure area.
At the market, you will enjoy around 90 minutes of free time to explore at your own pace. You can browse stalls selling fresh local produce, traditional foods, crafts and souvenirs, or simply soak up the lively atmosphere. In Sineu, you can stroll through the charming inland village, discover its historic streets and enjoy a more traditional Mallorcan setting. In Alcudia, you have the opportunity to walk along the medieval walls, visit the old town, see the church or explore the Roman ruins, all within easy walking distance of the market area.
After the market visit, the tour continues north towards the spectacular Formentor Peninsula. From Puerto de Pollensa, you board a scenic boat trip (operating from May to October) that takes you across Pollensa Bay. During this relaxing 30-minute ferry ride, you can enjoy views of the coastline, hidden coves, La Fortaleza and unspoilt natural landscapes that are only visible from the sea.
On arrival at Formentor Beach, often considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca, you will have free time to relax and enjoy the surroundings. You can swim in the crystal-clear waters, walk along the pine-shaded beach, or have lunch at the beachfront restaurant. If you prefer, you can also bring your own picnic and enjoy it with sea views.
Before returning, the excursion includes a stop at the Es Colomer Viewpoint, one of Mallorca’s most iconic panoramic spots. If parking conditions allow, you will have time to enjoy the breathtaking views of the cliffs, the Mediterranean Sea and the Tramuntana mountains, making this the perfect final highlight of the day before heading back to your hotel.
Customer reviews for the 8-Hour Formentor and Pollensa Tour from Palma
Fantastic full-day Formentor and Pollensa tour from Palma with market visit and boat trip.
Excellent day trip with NoFrills Excursions. The guide was very informative and the views at Es Colomer were spectacular. Highly recommended if you don’t want to drive to Formentor.
This Formentor tour from Palma was perfectly organised. We loved the market visit, the boat trip and the free time at the beach. A great way to see the north of Mallorca in one day.
Well organized tour with nice, experienced guide and bus driver. Alcudia and Formentor beach were super crowded w tourists at this time (mid-June) though, which I did not like--but it's not the organizer's fault. Just info. My fav was the boat trip to Formentor beach, it was more relaxed-- w amazing scenery. 💗
Really nice tour, the marker in sineu was nice, really enjoyed the viewpoint afterwards but 25 minutes there was abit short. All in all it was a wonderful trio, i can really recomend it. How ever the speakers in the buss was quite bad so it was hard to hear what the guide was saying.
