Paddle 8 km along Mallorca’s northeast coast from Cala Molins to a pebble beach only reachable by sea. Expect limestone cliffs, clear snorkeling water, and a chance to see dolphins guided by local paddlers.
The Experience
Before You Go
Morning departures are calmer
Wind picks up in afternoon in this part of Mallorca—book early to enjoy flatter water and easier navigation.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect yourself and the sea; regular sunscreen harms posidonia and marine life—choose mineral formulas.
Secure footwear and a PFD
Water shoes that stay on when wet and the provided life jacket keep movements efficient and safe when landing on rocks.
Follow the guide on jumps and currents
Cliff jumps and deep‑water passages depend on conditions—only jump if instructed and clear of submerged hazards.
