The crystal-clear waters around Palma de Mallorca make it an ideal spot for paddling adventures. This Balearic capital offers several outstanding water experiences, from guided kayak tours through dramatic sea caves to paddle boarding in secluded coves.
Local operators run efficient, well-organized tours with small groups, ensuring personal attention and safety.
I especially love the 2.5-hour kayak cave tours – they combine just the right mix of adventure and natural beauty. The guides know exactly when to visit for optimal conditions, and you’ll get to swim in hidden caves while spotting Mediterranean fish.
For families and beginners, the paddle board excursions in protected coves provide a gentler but equally rewarding experience.
