1. Canyoning & dry canyoning

Location
Pollenca

Whether you prefer plunging into crystal-clear pools or climbing sun-drenched rock faces, there’s an adventure waiting in the island’s stunning Sierra de Tramuntana mountains.

Canyoning is a water-based sport that takes you deep into river-carved gorges. You'll swim through narrow sections, slide down natural waterfalls, jump into turquoise pools and rappel down sheer drops - all surrounded by dramatic cliffs and unspoilt nature. Guided by experienced professionals, you’ll explore hidden canyons like Gorg Blau, Mortitx or Na Móra, with routes suited to all ability levels. The season runs from November to May, when water flows are at their best.

Dry canyoning, by contrast, offers a chance to explore the same breathtaking terrain without the need for water. Using a mix of hiking, climbing and abseiling techniques, you'll descend dry ravines and scramble across rock formations with panoramic views. It's a great year-round option that suits both beginners and experienced adventurers, with routes like Solleric and Ses Olives showcasing Mallorca’s wilder side - even in the warmest months.

Both activities offer the perfect blend of physical challenge, natural beauty and off-the-beaten-path exploration. Choose your style - or try both - and let their expert guides lead you on a memorable journey through the canyons of Mallorca.

2. Coasteering

Location
Alcudia

Coasteering in Mallorca is the ultimate coastal adventure. Discover hidden coves, sea caves and dramatic cliffs as you scramble, swim and leap into the clear blue Mediterranean.

Perfect for anyone with an adventurous spirit, this activity invites you to explore parts of the coast that are only accessible from the sea. You’ll traverse rocky outcrops, jump from cliffs into turquoise waters, swim through crevasses and explore hidden marine caves. It’s a unique way to experience the natural beauty of Mallorca from a new perspective.

The best part? Coasteering is flexible and suitable for all levels. Each route can be tailored to your group, with optional challenges like deep water soloing, zip lines and abseiling. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned thrill-seeker, you can choose how far to push yourself.

Their experienced guides know the coastline inside out and will ensure your adventure is both safe and unforgettable. They run coasteering sessions across different parts of the island, which gives us flexibility in case of changing sea conditions.

If you're visiting in summer, this is the perfect way to cool off while experiencing the wild side of the island. They also run tours in spring and autumn for company groups, families, stag and hen dos, and more.

Come and explore Mallorca’s wilder edge - coasteering is an adventure you won’t forget.
