Adventure brief
Catamarans with Glass-Bottom Views and Stern Slides — Coastal Excursions from Cala Bona
From the harbor at Cala Bona, Mallorca Sea Paradise runs a fleet of catamarans outfitted with submarine-vision windows and two stern slides; outings range from short two-hour harbor hops to longer excursions that visit bay beaches, sea caves and swimming stops along the east coast such as Cala Millor and Coves d'Artà.
Located on Mallorca’s eastern coast, Cala Bona serves as the gateway to some of the island’s most striking maritime landscapes. Here, Mallorca Sea Paradise delivers one of the region’s most distinctive boating experiences aboard innovative catamarans equipped with underwater viewing windows and thrilling slides that plunge straight into the Mediterranean. These vessels transform a typical day at sea into an interactive adventure ideal for all ages.
Mallorca’s coastline near Cala Bona is a jagged playground of hidden coves, limestone cliffs, and crystalline waters. Trips venture out to Cala Millor, Sa Coma, and Porto Cristo to the south, and further north to Cala Ratjada and the Coves d'Artà, where waters teem with marine life and limestone caves carve the cliffs. The geological formations include arches and natural bridges, especially notable at spots like the Puente Natural de Cala Varques—formed through millennia of erosive ocean forces.
The company’s two main routes, Sea Odyssey and Sea Adventure, balance sightseeing with ample swimming stops. Passengers can dive into secluded coves or peer through the catamarans’ observation windows to spot colorful fish and sea grasses below. The option to slide from the boat’s rear into the sea adds a playful element uncommon in the area’s marine tours.
Mallorca Sea Paradise stands out in Mallorca’s outdoor recreation scene by blending accessibility and exhilaration with environmental respect, maintaining routes that minimize disruption to local wildlife and marine habitats. Whether it’s a brief 90-minute excursion or a half-day voyage, each trip offers travelers a unique perspective on Mallorca’s diverse coastal ecosystems.
Intimate yet lively, these boat rides make arriving at secret beaches or impressive sea caves feel like a personal discovery, perfect for families, snorkelers, and anyone eager to experience Mallorca’s coastal wilderness from the water’s vantage point.
