Mallorca: Cabrio Sports Car Tour
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Route Mallorca · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Mallorca from a convertible feels like you’re in the movie. This Cabrio sports car tour strings together sea views, harbor glamour, and serious mountain roads in just 4.5 hours. I love the way you get to cover big distances with your own engine noise and wind in your hair, and I especially like the Serra de Tramuntana section, where the scenery turns from beach-cute to head-in-the-clouds.
One thing to think about first: the cars are manual, so you’ll want to be comfortable shifting, and this is a group route with fixed stops and short breaks. Also, there’s no hotel pickup, so you’ll handle your own ride to the start point.

Key Highlights You’ll Feel in Your Day

- Convertible road time: two-seater driving with the kind of freedom buses can’t give you
- Port Portals: a luxury harbor stop with time for photos and a proper look at the southwest coast
- Palma de Mallorca by the water: Paseo Marítimo and the cathedral stop for iconic city views
- Serra de Tramuntana UNESCO roads: winding mountain driving with timed viewpoints built into the route
- Ricardo Roca Viewpoint: a popular viewpoint in Estellencs with a dedicated photo-and-walk segment
- Strong family-run hospitality: a friendly guide team (you may even meet hosts named Edwin or Alejandro)
Why This Cabrio Tour Works Better Than a Typical Bus Day

If you only have one “wow” day on Mallorca, this is the kind that makes the island feel different. You start in Santa Ponsa and you end back there, but the middle is a real mix: beach towns, a luxury harbor, Palma’s waterfront, then the mountains. That pacing matters. It keeps you from spending your limited time stuck in one type of scenery.
Also, the convertible angle isn’t a gimmick here. You’re on the roads long enough that the open-top feeling becomes part of the experience, especially when you’re moving through the Serra de Tramuntana stretch. You don’t just look at Mallorca—you feel like you’re steering it.

Meeting in Santa Ponsa and the Car Rules You Need to Know

You meet at Via Puig des Teix, 6 and you should arrive 30 minutes early. The tour is group-based, and if you’re late, you risk losing your booking money—so build in buffer time.
The car side is pretty straightforward, but read this part carefully:
- The car is a two-seater.
- The driver must be 21+ and have a valid driving license for at least 2 years.
- If you’re a passenger, you can be under 21, but the driver still needs to meet the requirements.
- The gearbox is manual.
One more practical note: there’s an additional 30€ insurance charge if you switch drivers during the day. So if you’re planning to take turns, decide early and keep it simple.
Santa Ponsa to the Calvia Coast: Magaluf, Palmanova, and First Big Views

Your day opens in Santa Ponsa with a short guided start (about 10 minutes). This isn’t about a long lecture—it’s more like a reset so you’re ready to drive and know what’s coming next.
From there, you move through the Calvia area, including stops around Magaluf and Palmanova. In many parts of Mallorca, you can find postcard spots, but you still end up wasting time because you’re searching for parking. Here, you’re routed to the stops, with short guided segments and photo breaks built in.
What I like about this opening section is that it gives you an easy “warm up” before the mountain roads. You get coastal energy first, then the day sharpens.
Port Portals: The Harbor Stop That Makes the Day Feel Like a Treat

Next comes Port Portals, a luxury harbor where yachts and crisp promenade views take over. You’ll have guided time and then a second slot that’s basically a breather plus photos.
This stop is valuable because it’s a change of pace. After driving through towns and coastal roads, you park the car (temporarily) and let your eyes rest on boats, water, and the clean geometry of a high-end marina. It also works well for grabbing a snack-only vibe without turning the day into a long food hunt.
If you like photography, this is one of those moments where it helps to stand still for a few minutes. Watch the light, not just the buildings.
Paseo Marítimo and Palma Cathedral: City Time Without the City Chaos

Driving into Palma de Mallorca is where the tour balances driving fun with real “must-see” sights. You’ll pass along Paseo Marítimo, then take a guided walk-time segment focused on the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca.
The cathedral stop is short enough that you won’t feel trapped, but long enough to get your bearings and see why Palma’s skyline is a big deal. If you’ve ever done a beach town first and then waited until the end to reach a city center, you know how tiring that can be. Here, Palma shows up mid-tour, so you’re not rushing through it when you’re already drained.
Practical tip: bring comfortable shoes. The tour expects you to walk some, and “only a little bit” adds up across multiple stops.
Serra de Tramuntana Driving: Banyalbufar, Estellencs, and the Ricardo Roca Viewpoint

Here’s the part that likely sells you on the whole experience: the Serra de Tramuntana stretch, marked as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is where the roads turn twisty, where you feel the climb, and where the day shifts from coastal to mountain.
You’ll pass through and stop in places like:
- Esporles for a break and coffee time
- Banyalbufar for guided sightseeing (30 minutes)
- Estellencs for guided sightseeing (30 minutes)
- A dedicated stop at the Ricardo Roca Viewpoint for photos and a short walk (about 20 minutes)
Banyalbufar and Estellencs matter because they’re not just scenic viewpoints. They’re small places you can actually stand in for a moment, look around, and understand why people fall for Mallorca beyond the beach posters. You get guided time, so you’re not guessing what you’re looking at.
Then comes the viewpoint. Ricardo Roca Viewpoint is popular for a reason, and the tour gives it a real segment rather than tossing it in as a quick roadside stop. Plan to slow down here—this is one of those photo moments where staring helps you catch the layers of the coast and the way the islands sit in the distance.
From Andratx to Camp de Mar and Peguera: Mediterranean Roads to the Finish Line

After the mountain section, the route eases back toward the southwest coastline. You’ll pass through Port de Andratx, continue through Camp de Mar, and drive by Cala Fornells with sea views. Then you move through Paguera before ending back in Santa Ponsa.
You’ll also have guided sightseeing stops in Andratx (30 minutes) and Camp de Mar (20 minutes), plus a final Peguera visit (15 minutes) and the wrap-up back in Santa Ponsa (about 10 minutes).
This final stretch is the “reward” phase. You’ve already done the heavy driving and the biggest scenic payoff. Now you get more of Mallorca’s coastal personality—less intense than the mountain roads, but still packed with good angles for photos and gentle walking breaks.
Timing, Group Pace, and What It Means for Your Comfort

The tour is about 4.5 hours, and the schedule uses short timed moments at each stop. That’s how they fit Palma, the harbor, and multiple mountain areas into one ride.
So you’ll want to match your expectations:
- If you love frequent short breaks, this schedule feels smart.
- If you want slow wandering and long meals, you’ll need to plan a separate stop for that after the tour.
You’ll also be in a group setting, and you should be ready to follow the guide’s rhythm—arrive early, park when told, and regroup quickly. If you’re the type who hates schedules, this is still doable, but you’ll need a “grab it and move” mindset.
What’s Included (and Why It Feels Like Solid Value)

The price is $123 per person for a 4.5-hour convertible sports car experience, and that’s where value comes from: you’re not just paying for sightseeing. You’re paying for the car time plus the logistics that let you actually drive these roads.
Included items you can count on:
- Insurance
- Gasoline
- Soft drinks
- A glass of cava
- Guide
- Gift
Food isn’t included, so you’ll likely want to grab snacks before or after. That’s normal for a half-day road tour, but it’s worth planning so the day doesn’t end with you hungry and stuck looking for something last minute.
As for the car itself, the day’s reviews are consistently positive about the vehicles being in great condition and the hosts being welcoming. In plain terms: if the car is clean, easy to drive, and the team is on point, the tour feels effortless.
Who Should Book This Mallorca Cabrio Tour
This tour fits best if you:
- Want a driving experience, not just photo stops
- Like mixing city highlights (Palma cathedral) with mountain roads (Serra de Tramuntana)
- Enjoy harbor scenery as a change of pace (Port Portals)
- Are comfortable driving a manual car
It’s not a great match if:
- You don’t have a license to drive (you can’t be the driver)
- You’re relying on a wheelchair-accessible route (it’s not suitable for wheelchair users)
- You’re traveling with young kids (not suitable for children under 6)
If you’re traveling as a couple or with a driving-minded group of adults, this is a fun way to see more Mallorca in fewer hours.
Quick Practical Checklist Before You Go
Bring:
- Passport or ID card
- Driver’s license
- Sunglasses
- Comfortable closed-toe shoes
Don’t bring:
- Alcohol and drugs
- Open-toed shoes
And remember: no hotel pickup. You’re meeting at Via Puig des Teix, 6, and you’ll return there at the end.
Should You Book It?
Yes, if you want a high-impact Mallorca day that blends a convertible driving experience with real sightseeing stops—Port Portals, Palma Cathedral, and the Serra de Tramuntana roads. The price makes sense for what you get because you’re paying for the car, insurance, fuel, and a guided route that hits several top areas without you doing all the driving research.
I’d pass if manual shifting stresses you out, if you hate group timing, or if you want a long, food-centered day. But if you’re in the mood for wind-in-the-hair road time and a mix of coast and mountains in one half-day, this one belongs on your shortlist.
