Santa Ponsa is one of the south-west resorts of Mallorca, with boats often leaving the beach piers or the nearby Club Nàutic. Many trips to Dragonera, an uninhabited island reserve off Sant Elm, start from this stretch of coast. We list 4 boat trips from Santa Ponsa on this page.
We would ask one thing before booking in Santa Ponsa. Did you come for raw nature, or would any time on calm water do? Walkers and people who like wildlife get far more out of a trip with an island at the end of it.
Travellers have left more than 3,013 reviews on the boat trips shown here, with an average rating of 4.4 out of 5.
Nature lovers should choose the crossing to Dragonera, known for hiking paths, lizards and deep, clear water. The island entrance ticket comes with the trip, so there is nothing to sort out on arrival. It also runs in Spanish and Catalan.
For swimmers, the same outing includes a stop in the sea off Mallorca. Diving masks and snorkels are on board against a deposit, so pack your own set if you would rather avoid one.
Boats here usually use the passenger piers on the Santa Ponsa beach or the Club Nàutic close by, so we would check which one your ticket names. Leave a little time to walk between them in case you start at the wrong one.
Advance booking makes sense in high summer, when most boats in Santa Ponsa are running. At either end of the season timetables can shorten if the weather turns, and in winter very little sails from this side of Mallorca.
Yes, because local beach tours, dolphin watching and trips to Dragonera can all start along the Santa Ponsa coast. On this page the outing is the crossing to Dragonera, with a swim stop.
Dragonera is an uninhabited, dragon-shaped islet whose appeal is raw nature. Expect hiking paths, lizards and deep, clear water around Dragonera.
Local tours from Santa Ponsa take a few hours, and a trip to Dragonera needs about half a day. The whole outing here takes about 180 minutes.
