Majorca\u2019s seabed practicing snorkeling or diving<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Under the surface of the water you will find a world full of life that is worth discovering, especially when the island has more than 70 idyllic corners to explore the Mediterranean under water. To the east of the island, near Port d\u2019Andratx, we find the Cap des Llamp, a natural area where the cave of Sa Madonna<\/strong> is located. Here you can dive into an opening in the rock with air pockets and a maximum depth of 25 m, making it ideal for experienced divers. If you like to explore shipwrecks, you cannot miss the island of Sec<\/strong>. During the dive, you will see a large number of groupers and barracudas. On the other hand, between Alc\u00fadia and Port de Pollen\u00e7a you will find the cova Santa<\/strong> cave, which has incredible rock formations and the so-called \u201cSwiss Cheese\u201d (queso suizo)<\/em>, where you can explore a large number of interconnected tunnels. But if you do not want to swim far away from the surface, we recommend some of the best coves in Majorca. Among them, in Es Cal\u00f3 des Monjo<\/strong> you will see octopi, saddled seabreams \u2026 To sum up, a very rich underwater world. But you will find the best snorkeling on the island in the marine reserve around the Clot des Moro<\/strong>. Mediterranean rainbow wrasses, damselfish, moray eels \u2026 this is also a good place for freediving. To get here, you can do it with your rental car in Majorca<\/a><\/strong>, parking at the urbanization of Es Toro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kayaking or canoeing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer adventure sports above the water, there are many options to get to know the most special spots on the island. If you want to go kayaking or canoeing, one of the best ideas is to take a 12 km round trip around the island of Sa Dragonera<\/strong>. Perfect for experienced people, you can discover this Natural Park from a different perspective. Another simpler option is a route from the bay of Pollen\u00e7a<\/strong> to punta de Manresa. This option is very easy and incredibly beautiful, since you will go through places like Es Bacar\u00e9s. Kayaking is a good way to visit the Llevant Natural Park<\/strong>. From Betlem to Es Cal\u00f3, you will get views of the Farrutx mountains and come across secluded coves and some caves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rappel, canyoning and caving<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Practicing adventure sports in Majorca is also synonymous with rocks, since the orography of the island is carved by all kinds of formations worth discovering. To begin with, if you like rappel, you cannot miss a trip to des Coloms caves<\/strong>. You can get to it through Cala Romantica, where you will find a place of natural interest worth discovering. You can also try caving, one of the best extreme sports if you love to delve into the darkest caves. Another great option is to take a tour of Coves de Ses Pedres, the Cova del Pirata and Es Pont<\/strong>. But if you want to go further than anyone, we recommend the cave of Sa Campana<\/strong>, the deepest in Majorca. Remember that, to access all of them, and if you want to enjoy these activities with a large group of people, you have the option of enjoying ROIG\u2019s coach rental in Majorca<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another very popular activity among the most daring is canyoning. Although one of the most popular landmarks is Torrent de Pareis<\/a><\/strong>, there are options of equal beauty that are worth visiting. The Torrent des Lli<\/strong>, for example, which offers an 800 m route with several jumps and a couple of natural slides. On the other hand, we find Sa Fosca<\/strong>, considered one of the best gorges in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever heard about coasteering<\/em><\/strong>? It is a type of multi-adventure pack offered on the island that consists of the combination of canyoning, hiking and climbing. If you want to do a bit of everything that we have described above, book a tour of these characteristics and test your skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surf the sky on a parachute or paragliding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there is a truly special way to admire the beauty of the island while practicing extreme activities, this is choosing one of these two adventure sports in Majorca. Whether you want to skydive from a plane<\/strong> or paraglide, you have three options. The first is Alc\u00fadia, which is the perfect place to admire the incredible coastline and the magnificent range of colors offered by the bay of Pollen\u00e7a and, in the distance, you can see the Cape of Formentor. On the other hand, if you want to get to know the Tramuntana mountain range<\/strong> from a bird\u2019s-eye view, you cannot miss this paragliding adventure, an ideal way to learn more about this UNESCO World Heritage site. Finally, if you want to do extreme sports in the outskirts of Palma de Mallorca<\/strong>, you can also skydive to see the capital of the island from above. In this case, you can easily reach the skydiving school of your choice with your taxi in Can Pastilla<\/a> or any other point of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to get to know the Serra de Tramuntana, declared a World Heritage Site, why not take a hike to S\u2019Avenc de Son Pou<\/strong>?

Last but not least, the Cam\u00ed de Sa Foradada<\/strong> is a path by the sea that will take you to one of the most famous rock formations in Majorca. Since some of these places are difficult to find, we recommend you trust the GPS on your car rental in Majorca<\/a><\/strong> to make sure you get to the exact starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horse riding around Majorca<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
