Majorca is an excursion on Mallorca, the largest island in the Balearic Islands, with the island itself as the base area. From the airport, the north takes almost 1 hour by car and the south about 25 minutes; many places are 20–40 minutes apart, though narrow roads and cyclists can extend journeys. A car hire is recommended for flexible sightseeing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an excursion with Majorca usually take?
The duration depends on the excursion. One review mentioned a tour from Palma to the pearl factory, Porto Cristo and the cave, running from 9:15 am to 5:00 pm. The same review said each bus transfer took around 1.5 hours. Majorca therefore offers both half-day and full-day excursions.
Do I need a hire car for Mallorca, or are bus and taxi enough?
For many excursions, a hire car is recommended because places are often 20–40 minutes apart and some bus journeys take longer. Reviews show that the airport is about 25 minutes from the south and almost 1 hour from the north. Majorca can still help with planning if you are travelling without a car.
When is the best time to visit Mallorca for excursions?
According to reviews, Mallorca is often very busy in summer and temperatures in July can exceed 35°C. Early October was described as very pleasant, with fewer tourists, while winter can be sunny but a little chilly. For excursions, spring and autumn are therefore often the most practical choices.
Which areas are suitable for families or a first stay?
Reviews particularly mention the north, especially Alcúdia, as family-friendly. For a first stay, Palma, the north and well-connected coastal towns are often recommended because many places are reachable in 20–40 minutes. Majorca organises excursions across different parts of the island, so day trips can be combined easily.
How much time should I allow for Mallorca overall?
The island is large enough for several excursions: one visitor said 12 days were enough to see all around it, and another felt that 7 days seemed like a month because there was so much to do. Mallorca is the largest island in the Balearics and has over 230 km of coastline. For individual tours, allow a full day depending on the route.
What activities does Majorca offer besides beach tours?
Besides coastal trips, reviews also mention hiking, cycling, diving, sailing and sightseeing. The east coast was specifically described as good for dive sites, and the Serra de Tramuntana is relevant for landscape and mountain tours. Majorca is therefore suitable for a range of day plans, not just beach visits.
How much do typical extras cost on excursions in Mallorca?
Reviews provide a few concrete reference prices: 2 sunbeds plus a parasol cost 15 € per day, and the tourist tax was mentioned as 2.20 € per person per day. A private double room with sea view was cited at 250 € for one week for two people. These extra costs can vary depending on the season and location.
Is Mallorca easy to explore by public transport?
Public transport can be used within Palma and on some main routes, but for many excursions a car is recommended. Reviews mention that buses and taxis do not always cover every destination well, and that journeys on narrow roads can take much longer because of cyclists. Careful time planning is therefore useful for Majorca excursions.
