Glass Bottom Boat in Portocolom

Portocolom, Mallorca

About this experience

Discover the hidden coves and crystal-clear waters of Portocolom from a unique perspective aboard a glass bottom boat. This charming fishing village on Mallorca's southeastern coast offers a serene escape from the island's busier resorts, and the glass bottom boat tour provides an intimate look at the marine world below. Gliding over seagrass meadows and rocky reefs, you'll spot colorful fish, starfish, and maybe even a shy octopus without getting wet.

The boat departs from the historic port, where traditional fishing boats bob alongside modern yachts. As you cruise along the coastline, the captain shares stories of Portocolom's maritime heritage and points out landmarks like the 19th-century lighthouse. The glass panels reveal a hidden universe of underwater life, making this a perfect activity for families and curious travelers.

Unlike crowded catamaran trips, this small-group experience feels personal and unhurried. You'll have time to snap photos of the turquoise water and limestone cliffs, and even take a refreshing swim at a secluded beach. The tour lasts about two hours, leaving plenty of time to explore Portocolom's waterfront cafes and shop for local pottery.

For those seeking a genuine Mallorcan experience, this glass bottom boat tour connects you with the island's natural beauty without the crowds. It's a peaceful, educational outing that reveals why locals treasure this corner of the island.
