Drive coastal tracks from Cala Bona through Artà to the Capdepera Lighthouse on a guided buggy tour—stunning viewpoints, a swim in a hidden cove, and photo stops on Mallorca’s northeast coast.
The engine thumps under your seat as the buggy edges away from the quay in Cala Bona, salt air pushing at your face and the first terraced houses sliding by. You move from village lanes into scrubby Mediterranean hills, the driver and landscape trading places of attention: a sanctuary on a skyline, a limestone ridge that gives way to a sudden coastal view.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The engine thumps under your seat as the buggy edges away from the quay in Cala Bona, salt air pushing at your face and the first terraced houses sliding by. You move from village lanes into scrubby Mediterranean hills, the driver and landscape trading places of attention: a sanctuary on a skyline, a limestone ridge that gives way to a sudden coastal view.
This route threads coastal geology and local history—Artà’s town square and the 17th-century Sant Salvador sanctuary sit on older talaiotic foundations, while Capdepera Lighthouse marks centuries of maritime vigilance on Mallorca’s rugged northeast point. The north coast here alternates low cliffs, hidden coves and fossil-bearing limestone that tell of an ancient seabed raised by tectonic nudge.
Culture is visible in small details: fish restaurants in Cala Bona, stone walls that corral almond trees, and shepherd routes that became tracks for modern buggies. The tour pauses at a high viewpoint and at a small, clear cove for a swim; at the lighthouse you’ll snap the classic frame that points toward distant Menorca.
Practical side: expect 4 hours of mixed paved and rough farm tracks, frequent stops for photos and a short swim window. Bring a valid driving license if you’ll switch drivers, sun protection, closed-toe shoes and a small dry bag for keys and phone. Vehicles carry basic insurance; consider the collision-waiver option to remove a €1,500 deductible. Timing mid-morning or late afternoon keeps heat and crowds low and light good for photos.
