If you are looking up sunbonoo reviews before booking an excursion in Mallorca, here is what matters: it is an excursion agency with an office on Palma's Paseo Marítimo, set up as a Spanish limited company and aimed mainly at German-speaking customers. Our verdict: a real local company with years in the business, but with very mixed reviews depending on where you look, so check exactly what you are buying.
Verdict
3.4/ 5
sunbonoo has been certified by Trusted Shops since 2012 and scores highly there from almost 1,500 reviews. On Google and Trustpilot the average drops, and the complaints mention listings that do not match the excursion and wrong links to the meeting point. It is a reasonable choice if you speak German and want a local agency; otherwise a big booking site or the operator itself gives you more information to compare.

Who is behind sunbonoo
sunbonoo.com calls itself "Das Original" (German for "the original"). Behind it is a Spanish limited company registered at Avenida Gabriel Roca 4, on Palma's Paseo Marítimo, a few minutes from the Auditòrium. So it is not a German agency, even though its customers are mostly German speakers.
It sells excursions and activities on three islands: Mallorca, Gran Canaria and Tenerife. It works as an agency: the boat trips, coach tours and tickets are provided by other companies, and sunbonoo sells them in German.
What it sells and how to compare prices
This review does not list sunbonoo's prices, which you will need to check on its website. What we do give you are the direct prices for the most common excursions from Palma, so you can compare them with what you are offered:
| Excursion | Operator's direct price | On GetYourGuide |
|---|---|---|
| Bay catamaran, 5 h with food | €59 (Magic Catamarans) | from €59 |
| 55-minute city boat below the cathedral | €19 (Sa Calma Boats) | from €19 |
| Boat with snorkelling and a drink, 2.5 h | €39 (Sa Calma Boats) | from €35.10 |
| Dolphins, 3 h from the Paseo Marítimo | €49.50 online (Palma Cruises) | — |
| Glass-bottom boat in Magaluf | €30 (Cruceros Costa de Calvià) | — |
| Cuevas del Drach, entry only | €18.50 online | — |
If an agency asks noticeably more for the same boat and the same length of trip, ask what extra is included: hotel pick-up, a German-speaking guide or food.

What travellers say
sunbonoo's scores vary a lot from one review site to another:
| Site | Score | Reviews |
|---|---|---|
| Trusted Shops | 4.67 / 5 | 1,474 |
| 4.2 / 5 | 674 | |
| Trustpilot | 4.1 / 5 | 59 (20% one-star) |
On Trusted Shops, the online-shop trust mark that certifies it, sunbonoo comes out well. On Trustpilot, with far fewer reviews, three complaints keep coming up: the excursion did not match the listing, the meeting-point link led somewhere else and some guides were not up to the job.
These are complaints about information and organisation, not about wrongful charges. What those reviews tell you is to read carefully what you are buying and confirm where you will be picked up.
How to book without surprises
If you book with sunbonoo, run these checks before you pay:
Before you pay an agency
- Look in the listing for the name of the boat company or firm running the excursion and compare it with its direct price.
- Read the cancellation terms: how many hours before you can cancel for free and what happens if the boat does not sail because of the sea.
- Open the meeting point on the map and check that the address matches the quay or stop given in the text.
- Confirm the language of the guide or audio guide.
- Keep the voucher and the contact number of the company providing the service.
Quays that get mixed up
Two boarding points in Palma are often confused: the Escala Real, below the cathedral (Marco Polo city boat), and the Muelle de las Golondrinas, opposite the Auditòrium (Magic Catamarans, Palma Cruises, Barca Samba). They are 1.5 km apart. Check which one is yours.

Is sunbonoo a German company?
No. It is a Palma-based company that sells mainly to German-speaking customers. That is why its website and descriptions are in German.
