Cala des Moro/S’Almunia: Snorkel and SUP Tour
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by GoFurGo Mallorca · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Cala des Moro hits hard. This 8-hour GoFurGo Mallorca tour strings together two top calas with a guide, snorkel and SUP gear, and the kind of action stop at Cala s’Almunia where cliff-jump fans get a safe, supervised moment. Guides like Santiago and Theo keep the energy up and the group moving, and you also get little extras that matter—umbrellas, a cooler with ice, and even a GoPro for your day on the water.
The one thing to think about: Cala des Moro can get crowded, so your best experience comes when you’re ready to share the view and enjoy your time in the water rather than hunting for quiet.

Key things that make this tour work
- Pickup that saves your day: options across Portals Nous, Palma, Peguera, Magaluf, Ca’n Pastilla, and S’Arenal
- Two main coves, one day: Caló des Moro plus Cala s’Almunia, both with snorkeling time
- All the water-gear basics included: snorkel kit, paddleboards, umbrellas, and a cooler with ice
- Optional jumps at S’Almunia: a natural rock pool setup with supervised conditions
- SUP only if conditions allow: you’ll paddle when the sea cooperates
Caló des Moro and Cala s’Almunia: Two Coasts in One 8-Hour Day
If you want Mallorca coastal scenery without spending the day driving, parking, and second-guessing routes, this is built for that. You get a van-transfer day focused on water time: snorkeling, time to swim, and paddleboarding when the sea conditions allow. The whole point is simple—hit the places that give you that postcard look, then spend less time figuring it out.
The “two calas” structure is also smart. Caló des Moro is all about classic turquoise cove vibes, while Cala s’Almunia feels more rugged and wild, with rock formations and a natural “pool” that draws people for cliff jumping. Even if you’re not a thrill-jumper, Cala s’Almunia’s setting makes the day feel like you left the main tourist track.
And yes, guides really matter here. In the feedback, names like Santiago, Theo, and Nabil come up often for keeping things upbeat, explaining what to do, and making sure people feel safe. That matters when you’re doing SUP for the first time or considering a jump.

What You Get for $188: Gear, Pickup, and a Guide Who Keeps It Moving
At $188 per person, this isn’t a “cheap beach day.” But it also isn’t just transport and a meetup. The value is that you’re buying a full stack of help: you’re picked up, moved between coves, guided during the water activities, and handed the equipment so you don’t have to hunt it down.
Here’s what’s included that actually changes your day:
- Transportation to the coves (with pickup and drop-off across multiple areas)
- Snorkeling gear (so you don’t need to rent or bring it)
- Paddleboards for SUP
- Umbrellas and a cooler with ice for your picnic setup
- GoPro for capturing the moment
- A guide in English or Spanish, plus beach games
The guide isn’t just a cheerleader. In places where there’s a rocky descent or a jump option, you want someone watching for safe spacing and giving quick, clear instructions. That’s where the praised “support” shows up again and again—people mention feeling taken care of while doing cliff jumping or learning SUP.
The one expense you still own is food. You bring your own picnic lunch (more on that below), and you’ll want to pack like you’re going to be in the sun and saltwater for hours.
Stop 1: Caló des Moro for Turquoise Water and a Short Rocky Descent
Caló des Moro is one of those coves where the water color is the headline. You’ll get time there for swimming and snorkeling, plus a visit to take in the cliffs and that bright, clear water the area is known for.
One practical detail: getting down to the beach involves a short rocky path. It’s not described as a huge hike, but it’s enough that you’ll feel it in flip-flops. The guide is there to help you arrive safely, which is a big reason this tour is worth considering if you don’t want to do logistics on your own.
Timing matters here. The cove can get busy, and you’ll feel that in the water and on the shore. So if your personality is more “find a corner and spread out,” this part of the day may feel a little social. If your personality is more “get in the water and enjoy,” you’ll likely love it.
Snorkeling is where Caló des Moro tends to shine. With the gear provided, you can keep it simple: put on the snorkel kit, head into the clear water, and spend your time watching the fish and rocky formations you’d otherwise miss.
Stop 2: Cala s’Almunia for the Natural Rock Pool and Optional Jumping
Cala s’Almunia feels different from most beaches in Mallorca. It’s surrounded by cliffs and tied to the seafaring side of island life, including the old fishermen’s-hut feel that makes the place look like it belongs in an older storybook.
The highlight is the natural rock pool created by the sea. In this area, there’s an option to jump from different heights into the turquoise water. The important part is that it’s described as a safe, supervised environment. That supervision is exactly what helps most people decide to try it—or at least makes it comfortable to watch others do it.
Even if you don’t jump, you’ll still get the snorkeling time. The water quality here is described as crystal-clear, and the idea is that you’ll see marine life, colorful fish, and rocky underwater shapes. This is one of the reasons Cala s’Almunia works so well for a full-day format: it’s dramatic above water and active below.
There’s also an extra “adventure” angle. The tour info points to an optional leap into a cave-like area at Cala s’Almunia, and the jump setup is the part that keeps drawing the boldest feedback. If you’re cautious, you can take the safer route and still enjoy the water time.
SUP Among Cliffs and Fishermen’s Huts: Play When the Sea Allows
SUP is included, but you won’t always do it in every condition. The tour specifically says paddle surf happens when sea conditions allow. That’s not a sales trick; it’s just good sense on open water.
When it works, you’ll paddle along the coastline with cliffs and rustic fishermen’s houses along the way. This is one of those “you get a different view” activities, because you’re moving slowly above the water instead of standing still on the shore. Even if you’re new to SUP, the day is set up for beginners: you’re given boards, you’re guided, and you can stop to regroup without losing the whole experience.
If you want a quick reality check: SUP with cliffs nearby is scenic, but it also means you’ll be more aware of wind and chop. You’ll enjoy it more if you’re comfortable being a little wobbly at first and okay with that being part of the fun.
Food, Ice Coolers, and the Bring-Your-Own Picnic Rule
This is one of the biggest “make or break” things on this tour: you must bring your own food for the picnic. The tour provides a cooler with ice, plus umbrellas, but it doesn’t include meals.
So plan your lunch like you’re packing for a beach day that will stretch. Bring food and drinks ahead of time. Keep it simple and salty-friendly: sandwiches, fruit, snacks, and water. If you forget something basic, it can turn into a stress day under the sun.
Also pay attention to footwear and comfort. You’ll want a towel, a change of clothes, and sunscreen. The tour recommends sandals plus water shoes, and it specifically notes rock shoes are not included—so if you’re thinking you’ll walk on rough rocks in the wrong footwear, this is where you lose a few points of comfort.
And don’t underestimate the value of a charged smartphone. You’ll likely want photos and videos, and with the GoPro included, your phone becomes the “overall day” camera while the action moments get captured on the GoPro.
Gear List You Should Actually Obey (So You Don’t Rush)
If you do nothing else, follow the recommended packing list. It’s built around the day you’ll have, not a fantasy version of it.
Bring:
- Sunglasses and a sun hat
- Sunscreen
- Towel
- Change of clothes
- Sandals
- Water shoes
- A charged smartphone
- Your own picnic food and drinks
If you want an easy upgrade, add:
- Something to handle wet gear after you switch from beach to van
- A simple waterproof pouch or bag for your phone, especially since you’ll be in and out of the water
This tour includes key equipment for snorkeling and SUP, so you’re mostly responsible for comfort items and your lunch. That’s a fair trade.
Pickup and Drop-Off: The Part That Makes Car-Free Planning Easy
If you’re staying in areas like Palma, Magaluf, Peguera, Ca’n Pastilla, S’Arenal, or Portals Nous, the pickup options are already built in. You’ll get picked up from one of the designated points in those areas, and you’ll be dropped off at one of six drop-off locations.
There’s also a very practical rule if you’re staying at a hotel: pickup is arranged at the nearest supermarket to your hotel. The tour also says you’ll coordinate your supermarket meetup time via WhatsApp, so make sure your number is ready and you can access WhatsApp.
And if you’re arriving by catamaran, there are pickup options from the port as well.
That “van logistics” piece matters more than people think. Mallorca’s coves can be tricky to reach. This day removes that friction so you spend energy on water time instead of parking time.
Who This Tour Fits Best (And Who Might Prefer a Different Plan)
This tour is a strong match if:
- You don’t want to rent a car for a single day
- You want guided snorkeling without shopping for gear
- You’re interested in SUP and the experience of paddling near cliffs
- You like structured days where the big decisions are already made
It may be less ideal if:
- You hate crowds and want quiet, empty beaches
- You want total freedom to linger on one cove all day
- You’re the type who dislikes any rocky descent or needs a very smooth path
Price-wise, it’s not for everyone. But when you factor in transportation, guide support, snorkeling equipment, paddleboards, umbrellas, cooler setup, and the GoPro, it starts to look like you’re paying for a complete activity day rather than piecemeal rentals.
Bottom Line: Should You Book This Cala des Moro and Cala s’Almunia Tour?
I’d book it if your goal is simple: get to the right calas, spend meaningful time in the water, and skip the planning headache. The combination of Caló des Moro’s turquoise cove energy and Cala s’Almunia’s cliff-and-rock-pool drama gives you variety in one day, not just one pretty beach.
If crowds bother you, go in with a calm plan. You can’t control the season or the popularity, but you can control your attitude: prioritize water time, enjoy the snorkeling, and treat the shore traffic as part of the package.
If you’re on the fence, use this decision rule: if you’d otherwise spend money on snorkeling gear rentals plus transportation plus parking stress, this tour usually lands on the “worth it” side.
