Easy Rider Tour

Ride through Mallorca’s UNESCO mountains and coastal backroads with Loco Wheels’ Easy Rider Tour. Discover hidden villages and stunning vistas on this 3.5-hour scooter adventure.

Mallorca, the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, offers a unique blend of rugged mountain landscapes and sparkling Mediterranean coastlines. With Loco Wheels’ Easy Rider Tour, riders can absorb the island’s diverse scenery on a 3.5-hour guided scooter journey that begins in Palma’s historic city center—an urban core rich with Gothic architecture and narrow alleys. From there, the route leads into a quieter world, taking you through the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its limestone peaks, terraced hillsides, and dense pine forests.

The tour visits quaint mountain villages like Puigpunyent, where towering pines mingle with centuries-old olive groves, and Galilea, a tranquil mountain hamlet perched at 460 meters above sea level. Here, riders get a chance to pause, snap photos of the panoramic views, and enjoy a refreshing local drink. Continuing to Es Capdella, the journey winds along undulating roads flanked by forested slopes and offers ample opportunities to spot wild flowers and native bird species.

Back toward Palma, the ride skirts the shoreline, unveiling stunning vistas of the marina and Mediterranean beyond. Loco Wheels stands out in Mallorca’s outdoor scene by combining hands-on adventure with cultural immersion—offering scooters for those at least 16 years old who hold the proper licenses, along with a knowledgeable guide ensuring safety and a deepened appreciation for the island’s quieter paths. This tour intentionally avoids busy highways, prioritizing backroads that reveal Mallorca’s authentic character beyond resort crowds.

It’s an accessible gateway to one of the Mediterranean’s most enchanting islands—where rugged nature meets small-town charm in a riding experience tailored for adventurers eager to connect with landscape, history, and local flavor all at once.
