Mallorca's Tram-to-Torrent: Full-Day Soller, Sa Calobra & Lluc Adventure
Select participants and date
The morning begins with the metallic clack of a century-old train threading through a valley of orange trees, sunlight striping the carriage like a film reel. You feel the island move under you — first the cultivated lowlands, then the serrated spine of the Tramuntana rising from the sea. This full-day loop stitches together Mallorca’s transport relics, sheer coastal cliffs and a cloistered mountain sanctuary: the wooden electric train to Sóller, the tram to Puerto de Sóller, a short boat crossing to Sa Calobra and a final stop at the historic Lluc monastery.

Adventure Tips
Book morning pickup
Pickup is between 08:20–09:20; choose an earlier slot to catch softer light on the train through the orange valley.
Bring swimwear and shoes for pebbles
Sa Calobra’s beach is pebbly—water shoes or sturdy sandals make wading and walking easier.
Prepare for limited mobility areas
Some stops require short walks over uneven ground; bring a small daypack instead of large luggage.
Manage seasickness proactively
If you’re susceptible, take motion-sickness medication before the boat leg; the crossing can be choppy on windy days.
