Hi, I forgot to mention that October is my best month in Mallorca. Sea warm, nice temperatures, and the crowds have gone . Roger b

Hi, You are in the right thread now. I don't think you will be to do a cycle ride and hire a car. There is a lovely cycle ride from the port all along the the coast for miles. http://www.portbikemallorca.com/en/ If you hire a car for the day there are many things to see just look back at my past posts. https://arashrentacar.com/ They will leave the car at the port to pick up and return to the port.

Hi Not sure if you are on the right island La Palma is in the Canary islands. I can only help with Palma de Mallorca. Roger b

Hi, We returned in December, and had a wonderful private tour and it was so cheap, We will collect you from the seafront on arrival and return you to the ship or Jamestown (which is a short walk back to the ship) so you can visit the shops, St James’ Church, museum, etc. Our tours come with a pack lunch; please advise if anyone has a special dietary requirement. The cost of our tour will be £135.00 for 3 people which does not include the cost of entrance fees to the visitor attraction sites. Ask for Pamela Young theinkwell@helanta.co.sh

We came back in December from Ludawitz, there was a stand on the Dock with trips to Kolmanskop.

Hi Santa cruse de Palma is an island in the Canary Islands group and is in the Atlantic ocean. Unfortunately this not Palma de Mallorca, so I can't help you 😢 Roger

I think all taxi issues have been resolved, you are not coming at the height of the season , so you should have no problem. Roger b

I have a feeling that you will dock at the main terminal, just walk along the seafront towards the cathedral, you can't get lost !!

Hi, If the ship docks at the main cruise terminal on the Passeo Maritimeo it is a 30-minute walk into town, the nearest beach is in Cala Mayor also 30 mins in the opposite direction. the ship docks at the Dique de Oeste , you will have to get a taxi or a shuttle into town. Roger b

Just a heads up on the availability of taxis ,last year in in August it was impossible to find a taxi, the council are trying to address the issue for 2024. https://www.majorcadailybulletin.com/holiday/travelling/2023/05/24/113309/mallorca-transport-warning-taxi-shortage-again-this-summer.html

Yes I did not think of this a taxi should take small children. Roger b

Hi, Taxi from the port for 5 will be difficult as they only take 4 people, there are larger taxis ( few and far between) . An Uber is bookable they have larger cars to take 5. https://www.uber.com/es/en/r/cities/taxi/palma-es-ib-es/ Coming back to the port the restaurant will call you a taxi or Uber, if very busy you can get the number 4 bus from outside the Balinerrio which will take you close to the port . Ask the driver to let you off at Porto Pi otherwise, it will be two taxi's. Roger b

Somewhere you have not been on the way ?? Stop for a coffee at the oldest coffee shop in Palma . https://canjoandesaigo.com/en/home/ Roger b
