The Formentor Bus Tour is a carefully planned half-day excursion designed to show you the most spectacular landscapes of northern Mallorca in a comfortable and well-paced way. After being picked up from your hotel or a nearby meeting point, the journey begins with a scenic drive along the coast of Pollensa Bay, where you can already start enjoying views of the Formentor Peninsula and its dramatic surroundings.
The first highlight of the excursion is a stop at the Mirador de Colomer, one of the most iconic viewpoints in Mallorca. Here you will have approximately 30 minutes to admire panoramic views over steep cliffs, the deep blue Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding Tramuntana mountains. This stop is ideal for taking photos and fully appreciating the unique geography of the Formentor area from above.
After the viewpoint, the tour continues down to Formentor Beach, a natural paradise known for its crystal-clear waters and fine sand. Once reserved exclusively for guests of the historic Formentor Hotel, this beach is now open to everyone and remains one of the most beautiful in the north of the island. You will have around one hour of free time to swim, relax, sunbathe or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this exceptional setting.
One of the highlights of the Formentor tour is the boat trip across Pollensa Bay. From Formentor Beach, you board a boat for a scenic journey of approximately 25 minutes to Puerto Pollensa. From the sea, you’ll enjoy a completely different perspective of the Formentor coastline, with impressive cliffs, hidden coves and caves visible only from the water. This boat journey adds variety to the excursion and avoids returning by the same road, making the experience more dynamic and complete.
Once in Puerto Pollensa, the bus will be waiting to take you back to your resort, allowing you to return comfortably with plenty of time left to enjoy the rest of your day. This combination of bus, viewpoint, beach time and boat trip makes the Formentor bus one of the most complete and enjoyable ways to discover this iconic area of Mallorca without stress or access restrictions.
Formentor Bus Tour Reviews from Real Travellers
Highly recommend. Well organised. Stress free. Nice mixture of mountain bus ride, stunning views, time at the beach and boat trip. The tour guide gave helpful instructions and background information in German, English and Spanish.
This excursion provides an exceptionally efficient way for an international visitor to experience the iconic Formentor peninsula without the complexities of independent travel. The local company manages the logistics flawlessly, from the precise morning pickup to the pre-arranged transport connections. Our English-speaking guide provided valuable context regarding the history of the beach and the surrounding Tramuntana region, while the coach driver demonstrated professional competence on the narrow coastal passes. Combining the spectacular vistas at the Colomer viewpoint with a relaxing hour on the fine sands of the beach and a diverse return route by boat represents outstanding value for money. For those seeking reliable and structured excursions in Mallorca, this service is highly commendable.
We booked this half-day trip because getting to Formentor on your own with a family can be a logistical nightmare in peak season due to traffic controls. NoFrills proved to be a reliable local company, picking us up right near our hotel in Puerto Alcudia exactly on time. Our guide was very friendly and professional in English, and the driver kept us feeling safe on the winding roads up to the Mirador de Colomer. The kids absolutely loved the 25-minute boat trip across the bay, which meant we didn't have to drive back on the same road. It is a brilliant, well-paced excursion that brought us back to the resort with plenty of time left to enjoy the afternoon.
My girlfriend and I wanted a relaxed morning out and this trip by NoFrills Excursions was exactly what we needed. Our tour guide gave us clear information throughout the drive along the bay of Pollensa, and having an hour of free time to swim in the crystal-clear waters at Formentor Beach was fantastic. The boat ride back added a great change of pace to the day, showing us hidden caves along the massive cliffs. Perfect organization and good value for money.
As senior travelers, my wife and I were looking for comfortable excursions in Mallorca that would save us the hassle of navigating restricted roads. The air-conditioned bus on this half-day tour was excellent, and our coach driver handled the coastal route smoothly. We enjoyed our 30 minutes at the viewpoint and the beautiful, quiet atmosphere of Formentor Beach before taking the scenic 25-minute boat trip back. It is a highly recommended and well-organized trip for anyone wanting to see the area without any stress.
Managed to see the stunning cliffs of the north coast and enjoyed a great boat ride back to Puerto Pollensa without having to worry about driving or parking. The views from the Colomer viewpoint were incredible!
Amazing half day tour and worth the money. Views are amazing. Helanie the guide was hilarious. Plus George Cloo ey for being a fantastic driver. Thanks No frills.
PLUS: The trip itself was very nice and showed us a beautiful part of Mallorca. The bus was on time and clean. TO BE IMPROVED: the time spent at Mirador del Colomer could last 10-15 minutes longer / cut it off the time spent at the Playa de Formentor Nobody from our bus group went swimming so after having taken the necessary pictures of this beautiful beach it was a loooong wait for the boat to go back. Melanie - our guide - was friendly but despite telling the joke about Georgy the driver over and over again not a lot of information was given. SUMMARY: I would still recommend this tour for the beauty of the landscape
My 9 year old grandson and I did the Formentor trip. The guide was lovely. The mix of coach beach and boat was perfect for a 9 year old. We loved it.
Easy, scenic and well organised Formentor bus tour with beach and boat trip included.
