Speed, salt air, and real snorkeling in Alcúdia. This 2-hour speedboat ride mixes coastline views, music, and a couple of quick stops that keep things moving without dragging. You’ll cruise out from Port Alcúdia, skim past the yachts, and head toward beaches and secret-cave scenery, with one dedicated swimming-and-snorkel moment.

I love the small-group feel (it caps at 12) and how the day includes a snorkel-and-drinks stop rather than just sightseeing from the water. There’s also real adrenaline here: the trip leans into speed and staying active during the ride.

One drawback to consider: it’s not a detailed, stop-by-stop lecture. At least some stops are more quick-photo, get back on board, and go—so if you want constant commentary, you may need to ask.

Key highlights at a glance

• Two hours, multiple wow moments without a half-day commitment
• Cala en Gossalba snorkel stop (35 minutes) with snorkel included
• Coll Baix quick cave look (about 2 minutes) for photos and a brief peek
• Free drinks on the water to keep the vibe easy
• Max 12 people helps the boat feel more personal than party-packed

Two Hours of Speedboat Energy from Port Alcúdia

This is the kind of tour that feels designed for summer—short enough that you stay excited, fast enough that you feel like you’re doing something, not just watching. You start at Port Turistic i Esportiu Alcudiamar (Passeig Marítim, 1, zona A, local 1). From there, you’ll head out along the Alcúdia coastline, with music part of the ride.

The schedule is tight in the best way. The total duration is about 2 hours, so the cruise time doesn’t eat your day. That matters if you’re trying to balance beach time, lunch, and a few other things around Mallorca.

Group size is also a big deal here. With a maximum of 12 travelers, you’re unlikely to be stuck shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers. One review specifically called out a really small group (around six), which is exactly what you want if you prefer less crowd energy. Even when it’s closer to the cap, it should still feel like a real boat day rather than a mass tour.

One more practical point: this activity needs good weather. If seas are rough, the operator may switch dates or refund. So, when you’re booking, treat your confirmation as conditional on conditions aligning—especially in shoulder weeks.

Your Route Around Alcúdia: Beaches, a Secret Cave, and a Natural Cove

The route gives you a nice mix: ports and yachts, sandy beaches, cave-adjacent scenery, and then a more focused swim/snorkel stop.

What you get along the way:

• A slow pass by Aucadana Beach for views without a stop-heavy experience
• A quick stop at Platja Des Coll Baix, including a glance at a secret cave area
• A dedicated bathing stop at Cala en Gossalba, with snorkel and free drinks built in

It’s a classic speedboat format: you’re not spending hours on land, and you’re not getting stuck in one place. Instead, you get multiple “I get it” moments—views, then water time, then back to cruising.

And because it’s a speedboat, you should expect the experience to feel more physical than a calm cruise. Even if you’re seated most of the time, the ride itself is the point. Music on board adds to the summer mood, and several people like that you can actually enjoy movement on the boat when conditions allow.

Stop-by-stop: What You’ll Actually Do at Each Spot

Aucadana Beach slow pass by (quick views from the water)

Before the first real stop, you’ll get a slow pass by Aucadana Beach. Think of this as a warm-up: you’re still moving, still getting coastal views, and still settling into the rhythm of the boat ride.

Why this is worth it: it sets the scene quickly. You get a sense of the coastline shape, the beach color, and how the cliffs and coves look from the water—without losing time doing a long landing.

Platja Des Coll Baix: the secret cave peek (2 minutes)

Next is Platja Des Coll Baix, and the timing here is intentionally short: about 2 minutes. You’ll take a glance at the famous beach area and get the brief look at a secret cave inside that area. Admission is included for this part.

Here’s the real takeaway: this stop is built for snapshots, not strolling. If you want a leisurely beach walk or a long swim here, adjust your expectations. You’re looking for quick scenery—then back on board to keep the energy up.

Also, because it’s that brief, I’d plan to have your swimsuit/towel logistics already handled for later. Don’t waste headspace getting ready for Coll Baix like it’s your main swim. The main water moment comes next.

Cala en Gossalba: snorkel and drinks in a natural cove (35 minutes)

The highlight stop is Cala en Gossalba, and it’s the most “do stuff” moment of the tour. You’ll have about 35 minutes for bathing, and this is where snorkeling and free drinks are included.

This stop is valuable for two reasons. First, it gives you a real window to get in the water rather than a token dip. Second, the cove setting is the kind of place where snorkel time actually makes sense—because you’re already at a sheltered natural bay instead of open-water cruising.

How to make the most of your 35 minutes:

• Start snorkeling early if you can, so you don’t feel rushed near the end
• Use the included snorkel setup, but if you’re picky about fit, bring a backup mouthpiece from home next time
• Treat the drinks as part of the rhythm, not the whole plan—water time first, then relax

One more thing: this is labeled as the one swimming stop, so it’s not the tour for someone who wants repeated long water sessions. It’s more like a focused swim block that pairs well with the fast cruising before and after.

What Makes the Adrenaline Feel Good (Not Just Loud)

Speedboats can be hit-or-miss depending on how the ride is handled. What makes this one appealing is that it’s not just about going fast—it mixes speed, music, and clear time for swimming.

A couple details matter here:

• You’re moving between stops efficiently, so you don’t lose the “vacation mode” waiting around.
• The boat size helps the ride feel more personal.
• People also mention the vibe of the music and that there’s enough freedom on board to stay involved in the experience (as long as it’s safe).

If you’re prone to motion sickness, you’ll want to be smart. The info you have here doesn’t specify seating or motion policies, so the safe approach is to bring your usual remedies and choose a position that works for you. The ride is likely to feel sporty, not gentle.

And if you’re traveling with people who don’t love speed or choppy conditions, keep that in mind. One review suggested the tour may not suit kids or elderly travelers. Since the data also says most travelers can participate, I’d frame it like this: it’s broadly doable, but it’s still an adrenaline-style boat ride.

Price and What You Actually Get for $67.99

At $67.99 per person for about 2 hours, the fair question is: what are you paying for?

You’re paying for:

• A real speedboat cruise around Alcúdia’s coast
• Multiple visual stops (including Coll Baix and a cave area)
• One proper swim/snorkel window at Cala en Gossalba
• Free drinks included during the experience
• A small group cap (maximum 12)

For many people, the snorkeling and drinks are what tip the value. If you’re trying to do snorkeling on your own, you’d still spend money on transport, entry logistics, and gear time. Here, the snorkel piece is included at the right moment, with a time block built in.

Also, demand is strong: on average, this is booked about 23 days in advance. That’s a sign to reserve early—especially if you’re visiting in peak season or on a popular week. When a tour sells ahead, it’s often because the format works: short, fast, with a real water stop.

Where the Tour Starts and How to Show Up Smoothly

Your meeting point is Port Turistic i Esportiu Alcudiamar, at Passeig Marítim, 1 (zona A, local 1), 07400 Port Alcudia. It’s also described as being near public transportation, which is great if you’re not renting a car.

Bring your mobile ticket. The tour notes you’ll receive confirmation at booking time. And since it requires good weather, keep an eye on your day: if conditions aren’t right, you may be offered a different date or a full refund.

If you want the easiest experience, arrive a little early so you’re not rushing into check-in while the boat crew is managing departures.

Who Should Book This Speedboat Snorkel Tour

This tour is a great match if you want:

• A short outing that still includes a swim and snorkel
• Speedboat views of Alcúdia’s coast rather than slow, static sightseeing
• A smaller group environment
• Music-friendly fun that feels like a summer day

It may be less ideal if:

• You get motion sick easily (consider your usual precautions)
• You want long beach time or lots of guided explanation at each stop
• You’re traveling with people who struggle with the idea of an adrenaline-style boat ride

If you’re a couple, a small group of friends, or solo and you like active sightseeing, this format fits nicely. For families, it depends heavily on the child’s comfort level with speed and water time. For seniors who like calm travel, I’d think twice.

Should You Book This Alcúdia Speedboat Snorkel Trip?

Yes—if you’re trying to maximize a short Mallorca trip day with a real water moment. The combination of snorkel time at Cala en Gossalba, plus quick scenic hits like Coll Baix and its secret cave area, makes this more than just a ride.

Book it if:

• You’re okay with quick stops and moving between locations
• Snorkeling for under an hour is enough for your day
• You want the small-boat feel (max 12 people)

Skip or rethink it if:

• You want detailed narration at every stop
• You’re looking for long, relaxed land time
• Motion/speed is a concern

If you can align your timing with good weather, this is one of those straightforward, high-energy excursions that leaves you with photos and saltwater memories—without swallowing your whole day.
