The Experience

You step off a narrow ledge and the Mediterranean opens beneath you — cold, bright, and impatient — urging you forward. The wind in the Serra de Tramuntana pushes along the cliff tops while the guide times the safe swell below. Wetsuit zipped, heart steadying, you learn to read the water and your shadow before committing to the next drop.

Before You Go

Wetsuit and Fit

Wear swimwear under a well-fitted wetsuit; guides size suits but arrive in layers for a quick change.

Approach Footwear

Use grippy water shoes for rocky, uneven approaches and slippery exits—regular flip-flops are unsafe.

Hydration & Sun Protection

Bring at least 1 liter of water, reef-safe sunscreen and sunglasses for the transfer and waiting periods.

Medical & Age Requirements

Minimum age is 10; disclose heart, spinal, pregnancy or other conditions and your weight for safe jump planning.

Conservation Note

Stick to marked access points, avoid trampling cliff vegetation and use reef-safe sunscreen to minimize impact on marine life.

The Serra de Tramuntana evolved through uplifted limestone and terraced agriculture; coastal coves were historically used by small fishing communities.
