Activity Reviews in Mallorca

A beautiful 6km coastal hike from Can Picafort to Son Serra de Marina taking in stunning sea views, archaeological sites, deserted beaches, ecological areas and the occasional nudist.

La Reserva is a private nature reserve, which has been created for both adults and children as a way of viewing and understanding Mallorca's landscape & wildlife.

Palma city sightseeing is an understandably popular pastime for visitors to Mallorca. Palma Cathedral, Es Baluard Art Gallery, the Passeig des Born and the beach front are on nearly every visitors "to see" list but in the midday sun walking between these sites can be a sweaty affair and driving through city traffic and finding a space to park takes all the fun out of your day. Fortunately you can see all these sights on a Segway.

Extreme by name, extreme by nature. The race up and down Puig Massanella from the picturesque village of Mancor de la Vall is considered by many to be the toughest race in the Cursa de Muntanya race series. This year’s race was made all the more difficult because local landlords would not allow runners to cross their land on the return from the peak.

Vall De Boquer to give it its full name is known simply to visiting birdwatchers and walkers as the Boquer Valley. This magnificent valley is situated just outside of the town of Puerto Pollensa.

100,000 cyclists cannot be wrong. Mallorca is one of the most popular and idyllic islands for cycling with it's plentiful flat farm roads and challenging hill climbs.

The Soller holiday experience has it all in my opinion. The Moors named the town and gave it the name 'Suliar' which means 'golden bowl' – a great description of the Soller valley sitting in the middle of stunning mountain scenery.

If you fancy trying your hand at diving with the fishes but don’t know your snorkel from your scuba, check out a "Try Dive" with the super friendly dive crew at ActionSport Prodive Mallorca in Puerto Pollenca.

The Puig de Maria sits overlooking the town of Pollensa in the north-east of the island of Mallorca.

Inflatable family fun parks – trampolines, bouncy castles and assault courses in the sea what better way to spend a day?

Fish spas have sprung up all over the place and seem to have stations at every resort town up and down the coast. They stand out with their large blue tanks of milling fish and the people up to their knees in water letting fish nibble on their feet.

A yacht charter is the perfect way to celebrate that special occasion. A friend got in touch a while ago and asked for some recommendations of things to do for his 30th birthday if he were to come to Mallorca with a group of friends in June.

S'Albufereta is Mallorca’s third largest wetland area comprised of 211 hectares of protected park land as well as a further 290 hectares of surrounding land, which is semi-regulated so as not to adversely affect the nature park.

There is much more to Mallorca than beaches, it is also world renowned as a sports climbing and deep water soloing venue. Most of the rock climbing in Mallorca is centred around the impressive Tramuntana Mountains or along the beautiful coastline, and the island attracts climbers of all abilities from all over the world.

As an over enthusiastic amateur photographer, I had been toying with the idea of doing a photography course for about 5 years. I decided that 2016 would be the year to commit and my old friend Google pointed me in the direction of Diana, with one outstanding review after another of her photography and classes (Photoclasses Majorca) in Mallorca.

Mallorca has so much to offer the intrepid and lethargic alike but there are few activities that can appease both at the same time. Flying over Cala Millor in a hot air balloon is one such activity and thankfully ballooning in Mallorca is readily available thanks to Jordi at IB Ballooning.

It may be hard to believe but rock climbing and abseiling really are sports for everybody. Outdoor activities, especially rock climbing, are a rewarding and enjoyable way for a family to spend quality time together in some of the most beautiful areas of Mallorca.
