Mallorca Adventure Activities

There is far more to this island than it’s beautiful coastline and beaches; in fact, outside of the summer months, it’s the perfect destination for Mallorca adventure activities. Walking holidays are one of the most popular reasons for people visiting outside of the summer months. There are over 400km of hiking trails across the island, covering a wide range of terrains; from those treks across the mountains to the much gentler slopes.

Cycling across Mallorca is equally as popular as walking and every year the island welcomes thousands of different people on their bikes, including the likes of Team Sky and Bradley Wiggins, as they tackle these spectacular mountain roads. The most challenging route is Sa Calobra, a 10km ride with 26 hairpin turns, 668 metres of climb and a 7.1% gradient.

For those holidaymakers looking for something a little more upbeat, they should head over to visit Palma, the capital of Mallorca where over half of the population of the island resides. The town is filled with a multitude of restaurants which offer some of the most delicious local cuisine and a wide variety of shops where you’ll be able to purchase some gifts and souvenirs to take home with you. After your days shopping and exploring the town, why not head into one of the many bars or nightclubs dotted around the town. Palma’s nightlife is exciting and varied, with live bands playing regularly across many of the clubs and bars. There are so many choices of where to eat, drink and dance that you’ll not be disappointed, no matter your interests.

Since Mallorca is an island surrounded by warm blue Mediterranean seas, activities fall into two neat categories – what you can do on land, and what you can do at sea! The sky, or horizon, is the limit!

Fishing trips 

Fishing in Mallorca specialises in deep-sea big game fishing – especially giant bluefin tuna, which can weigh in at over 500 pounds! There's a choice of boats – a Rodman 30, with a cruising speed of 22 knots, or a Sunseeker 37 Sportfish with a cruising speed of 28 knots. Choose from bottom-fishing, big-game fishing and family fishing – and excursions include a fully qualified skipper, fuel, fishing gear, bait, insurance, soft drinks and beer.
