What to expect

Extending from the very north of Majorca out into the Med, Cape Formentor is a jagged finger of land – and one of the most scenic parts of the island. On this tour, you'll visit a village market and enjoy time on Formentor beach. Plus, there's a stop Es Colomer viewpoint and a boat trip along the Formentor coast. Lluc, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘I love exploring Cape Formentor – a mountainous peninsula where the spectacular views along the coast are accompanied by the scent of the Mediterranean pines and the herbs that grow wild here.'

Kick off the day with a wander around a weekly market – it's a taste of rural Majorcan life. Lluc says, ‘The vendors selling just a few different types of seasonal fruit or vegetables are usually farmers who grow their own produce – and usually the best value.' Next, we'll set off to explore the Formentor peninsula. As we drive around its winding roads, you'll be treated to dramatic scenery. We'll stop at Es Colomer, where there are unrivalled views of the coastal cliffs.

Then it's time to chill out on Formentor beach. This narrow, curved strand is fringed by a pine forest and is washed by pastel-blue waters. Refreshments are available at a beach café, and you can secure your table by choosing the ‘lunch included' option. To round off, we'll go by boat to Port de Pollença, where the seafront is lined with stylish villas and hotels from its early 20th-century golden age.

Nat Geo Day Tour: The Valley of the Oranges

Picturesque hills and aromatic citrus orchards best describe Sóller. From Palma de Mallorca, travel into the Serra de Tramontana mountains, where you'll discover this eye-catching town, nicknamed the 'Valley of Oranges'. Historically, Sóller was isolated from the rest of Mallorca due to its mountains, allowing the development of unique cultural and agricultural practices. Sóller's orange groves trace their roots back several centuries, introduced to the region by Arab settlers during the Spanish occupation. On this exclusive tour, you'll uncover the region's conservation initiatives with your National Geographic-trained guide, visiting the Balearic Museum of Natural Sciences for an exclusive audio-visual experience including photos illustrating the history of the orange groves and their impact on Sóller's local economy. After this, tour Sóller's citrus-infused Botanical Gardens, where you'll study the botanical properties of different citrus varieties, enjoy an exclusive visit to the seed bank and learn more about the museum's work to conserve the Balearic Islands' plant species, unique ecosystems and natural habitats. Finish with a cooking demo featuring a zesty dessert with a citrus tang. Next, discover Sóller's secrets on a guided walking tour, before stopping by Sa Fàbrica de Gelats, an ice cream Parlor featured in National Geographic España as one of the best spots for orange-flavoured gelato. Finish with some free time to explore at your leisure.
