An Exciting Mix of Cliff Jumping, Snorkeling, and Exploring Sea Caves
If you’re craving an adventure that gets your heart pounding and reconnects you with nature, the Mallorca Speleo-Coasteering Tour offers an exhilarating way to explore the island’s stunning coastline. This 5-hour outing along the coast of Alcudia packs in cliff jumps of up to 10 meters, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, sea cave explorations, and even some free solo climbing. The experience is designed for those who love a bit of adrenaline but also appreciate natural beauty and a good laugh.
Two things we really love about this tour are the personalized attention from guides and the variety of natural landscapes you get to see.
