Four activities, three hours

A kayak paddle, a sea cave, a cliff jump and a snorkel, run one after another rather than sold as separate mornings.

Every piece of kit is included

Wetsuit, kayak, helmet, life jacket, water shoes, snorkelling gear and a safety boat. You bring swimwear and a towel and nothing else.

Pickup along the north coast

Port de Pollença, Alcúdia, Playa de Muro and Can Picafort are all inside the fare, which is unusual here.

Recommended from age five

The operator's own figure, and reviewers back it: one group ran from eleven to fifty-three years old and everybody found their level.

You do not need to be a strong swimmer

Life jackets are provided, and swimming ability is recommended rather than required.

GoPro photos afterwards

Taken by the guides and handed over at the end, along with a picnic of snacks and drinks.

The sea cave you kayak into

The centrepiece is a cave on the north coast that you reach by water and enter by kayak. There is no walking approach and no ticket: the only way in is the one you paddle. Inside, the light comes back off the floor of the cave and the water turns the green that all the photographs of this coast are trying to catch.

The guides run it as a sequence rather than a schedule — paddle out, into the cave, out again to the jumping rocks, then into the water with masks. Reviewers describing it use the word energetic more than the word scenic, which is a fair warning and also the point.

Cliff jumping, and how high it really is

The jump is optional and nobody makes you do it. It is also the thing people remember: reviewers who came for the kayaking write about the jump instead. If heights are not your thing, the snorkelling runs at the same time and in the same bay, so opting out costs you nothing but the story.

What the northern pickup covers

This is the trip's real advantage if you are staying up here. Pickup and drop-off are included from Port de Pollença, Alcúdia, Playa de Muro and Can Picafort. Transport from anywhere else on the island is not included, and Alcúdia is about an hour and a quarter from Palma, so this is a trip for the north rather than a trip you drive to.

The meeting point itself is on the Camí Vell de la Victòria in Alcúdia, and the operator asks you to be there ten minutes before the start. One reviewer notes parking near the meeting point is limited and they walked a few blocks — worth ten minutes of margin.

Who this suits

Families with children of five and up, groups of friends, and anyone who would rather do four things than watch one. The equipment list means you can turn up with a towel. If you are staying anywhere between Port de Pollença and Can Picafort, the transport comes to you and that alone makes it the easiest booking on the north coast.

Who should book something else

If you want a calm paddle round a bay, this is not it. There is a kayak race and a treasure hunt, and it is pitched at a younger crowd than the photographs suggest — two travellers say so in their reviews and they are right. If quiet water is what you are after, the coves day out of El Arenal gives you paddleboarding and snorkelling with a guide and no competition attached. If you want something harder rather than lighter, the Cova de Coloms sea caving day sets a minimum age of twelve and asks for a forty-five minute walk and a twenty-minute swim at each end.

If the sea is against you altogether, the day trips through Valldemossa, Deià and Sóller run in weather that keeps the boats in, and they leave from Palma rather than the north coast.

Know before you go

Swimwear, sunscreen, water, towel

The operator's own list. Everything technical is provided.

Recommended from age five

Younger than that and this is the wrong trip; the cooking class takes six-year-olds.

A 110 kg kayak limit

Stated plainly by the operator because of the kayaks themselves, not as a judgement.

Not for back problems or pregnancy

Nor for serious heart conditions. The operator lists all three.

Allow time to park

Parking by the meeting point is tight in season, per reviewers who found it so.

Transport only from the north

Coming from Palma or the south, you drive yourself — about an hour and a quarter.

Questions about this trip

Do I need to be able to swim?
Not strongly. Life jackets are provided, and swimming ability is recommended rather than required. You are in the water with a guide and a safety boat throughout.
Is this suitable for children?
From five, which is the operator's own recommendation. It is the most child-friendly trip here, and a group of twelve ranging from eleven to fifty-three found something for everyone.
Do I have to do the cliff jump?
No. It runs alongside the snorkelling and you can simply stay in the water. Nobody is counted in or out.
Is transport included?
From Port de Pollença, Alcúdia, Playa de Muro and Can Picafort, yes. From anywhere else on the island, no — and Alcúdia is about an hour and a quarter from Palma.
What if I want something calmer?
The coves day out of El Arenal is guided paddleboarding and snorkelling over six hours with beach umbrellas and cool boxes, and no competitive element. It is the gentler version of the same idea.
What if I want something harder?
The Cova de Coloms sea caving day. Minimum age twelve, a forty-five minute walk along the shore and a twenty-minute swim into the cave at each end. For something gentler, on the water rather than in it, the Palma catamaran anchors once and serves tapas.

Book the 3-hour trip

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time, so the date is not a commitment you cannot unwind.
