A brisk four‑hour circuit that pairs an open‑top bus ride along the Tramuntana cliffs with a short ferry across the Bay of Pollença. Perfect for travelers who want dramatic viewpoints, a swim at Formentor Beach, and a compact taste of Mallorca’s northern coast.

In forty minutes the bus drops you at Mirador Es Colomer — a cliff-top vantage that throws the Bay of Pollença and Alcúdia into sharp relief — before letting you breathe the salt and step down toward Formentor Beach.
