Palma de Mallorca Shore Excursions - Old Town, Bellver Castle & the Caves of the Dragon

Palma de Mallorca is the sun-drenched capital of the largest Balearic Island and one of the Western Mediterranean's most rewarding cruise stops. Beyond the imposing waterfront cathedral that greets every arriving ship, Palma hides a labyrinth of medieval lanes, Moorish-era courtyards, a circular hilltop castle found nowhere else in Spain, and a countryside that shifts from olive groves and vineyards to dramatic limestone cliffs plunging into turquoise coves.

Our Highlights of Palma tour covers the essential landmarks - the cathedral, Bellver Castle, and a walking tour of the old town. Beyond the city, our Villages of Mallorca tour visits the charming coastal villages of Deia, Soller and Port de Soller, while our Dragon's Cave tour explores the Cuevas del Drach, one of the island's most popular sites. For wine lovers, our Wines of Palma tour visits two local bodegas, and our Romantic Valldemosa tour visits one of Mallorca's most beautiful villages and its 13th century monastery. All Palma shore excursions from Private Shore Trips include an English-speaking guide and private vehicle, customizable for small and large groups. Reserve with a $50 deposit.

Frequently Asked Questions - Palma de Mallorca Shore Excursions

Where do cruise ships dock in Palma de Mallorca?

Cruise ships dock at one of two areas within the Port of Palma. Most vessels berth at the Estacio Maritima terminals along the Muelle de Poniente, about 3.5 km from the historic center. Larger ships or overflow traffic use the Dique del Oeste quay, slightly further out near the Porto Pi area. In either case, your private guide will be waiting at the pier with a name sign.

Can I walk from the cruise port into Palma's old town?

It is possible but not practical for most visitors. The walk from Muelle de Poniente to La Seu Cathedral takes roughly 40 to 50 minutes along the seafront, and from Dique del Oeste it can be over 90 minutes. With a private tour, your guide drives you directly from the ship to your first stop.

What makes Bellver Castle unusual?

Bellver Castle is one of only a handful of circular castles in all of Europe, and the only one in Spain. Built in 1309 for King James II of Mallorca, it sits on a pine-covered hill overlooking the entire Bay of Palma, with a rooftop terrace offering 360-degree panoramic views.

Is a half-day enough to see Palma's highlights?

Yes. A four-hour private tour comfortably covers the essential landmarks - typically the cathedral, Bellver Castle, and a walking tour of the old town. If your ship allows a longer stay, a full-day tour can add destinations like Valldemossa, the Caves of the Dragon, the villages of Soller and Deia, or a Mallorcan wine tasting.

What is the Palma de Mallorca wine scene like?

Mallorca's winemaking tradition dates to Roman times, and the island has experienced a genuine revival over the past two decades. Local bodegas produce excellent reds, whites, and roses from indigenous varieties like Manto Negro and Prensal Blanc. Our wine-focused tour visits working vineyards with tastings paired with local cheeses and sobrassada.

What is the back-to-ship guarantee on Palma de Mallorca shore excursions?

Our back-to-ship guarantee means that if an unforeseen delay during your private tour prevents you from returning to the cruise terminal before your ship departs, we will arrange and cover the cost of transportation to your next port of call. This guarantee applies to all private shore excursions booked through us in Palma de Mallorca. Your tour must be scheduled to return to the ship 1.5 hours prior to ship departure.
