Setting the Scene: The Starting Point and Arrival

Your adventure begins at a beachside meeting point on Carrer Deusto in Mallorca. Once you arrive, you’ll find a friendly team ready to help you get geared up and comfortable. Since there are no lockers or WC facilities at the launch site, it’s wise to leave valuables behind or carry only what’s necessary—your swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and water. After donning your equipment—full kayak gear, snorkel masks, water shoes, lifejackets, and possibly wetsuits—you’re ready to set off with your guide.

The Journey: Paddling to the Green Cave

As you glide across the calm, clear waters, you’ll quickly notice the beauty of Mallorca’s coastline. The highlight is reaching Cueva Verde, a sea cave filled with striking shades of green and blue. The guide will share stories about the area’s geology and marine ecosystems, making this more than just a paddle—it’s an educational experience as well.

The motorized boat trailing alongside adds a layer of safety and comfort, especially if you’re new to kayaking or snorkeling. It also makes for great photo opportunities from the water and along the coastline.

Snorkeling and Marine Life

After exploring the cave’s exterior, you’ll have the chance to snorkel in the nearby seagrass meadows—an important habitat for many marine species. The snorkel masks are provided, so you can observe local marine life in their natural environment. As one reviewer says, “We loved the way the instructor pointed out different fish and explained the importance of the Posidonia plant, which is a key part of the Mediterranean ecosystem.”
