Tramuntana and Coast: Routes for Your Mallorca Adventure
The Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an absolute must for anyone looking to actively explore Mallorca. Here, you'll find breathtaking hikes and challenging bike tours with panoramic views. Climb peaks like the Puig Tomir, Puig de Massanella, or Puig Major and be enchanted by the beauty of the mountain landscapes. Information on guided hikes is available from SKR Reisen, who specialise in small groups.
In addition to the mountains, the charming villages of the Tramuntana also attract visitors. Valldemossa, Deià, Sóller and Fornalutx are just a few examples of places that captivate with their traditional architecture and unique flair. Stroll through the narrow streets, visit local markets, and enjoy the Mallorcan hospitality. A glimpse into the island's diversity is also offered by Eberhardt Travel with their tours.
The eastern coast of Mallorca also has its charms. Here, you'll find picturesque coves, crystal-clear waters, and extensive hiking trails along the coast. Visit idyllic fishing villages and discover the unspoilt nature of the Mondragó Natural Park. For adventure holidaymakers, Berge & Meer offers a variety of options.
Hiking and Cycling: Experience Active Mallorca Authentically
Mallorca is a paradise for active holidaymakers. Hiking in the Tramuntana is especially an unforgettable experience. Whether you prefer leisurely walks or challenging mountain tours, there is a suitable challenge for everyone here. There are hiking trails in various levels of difficulty. Popular routes include the Bóquer Valley, ideal for bird watching, the Formentor Peninsula with its lighthouse paths, the Mortitx Valley with its vineyards, and the Biniaraix Gorge with its waterfalls. World Insight offers special AktivPlus trips.
Cycling is also very popular in Mallorca. A well-developed network of cycle paths stretching approximately 1250 km provides routes to suit all preferences. Whether it's relaxed tours along the coast or challenging climbs inland, cyclists can truly enjoy themselves here. Cycling tours to Pollença and Alcúdia as well as the route between Cala Millor and Arta are particularly recommended. Many providers, like Berge & Meer, offer car rental trips that allow you to explore the island individually.
Besides hiking and cycling, there are many more ways to be active in Mallorca. How about a boat trip along the coast or a visit to the famous Dragon Caves? These can be optionally booked on some tours and offer a fascinating insight into the island's underworld. The round trip from Gebeco includes visits to some of these highlights, for example.
Cathedral and Old Town: Discover cultural treasures in Mallorca
An absolute highlight of every experience tour of Majorca is a visit to Palma de Mallorca. The island's capital impresses with its magnificent cathedral, towering over the city, and its charming old town with its narrow alleys and historic buildings. Join a city tour to learn more about the history and culture of the city. Gebeco offers city tours in Palma, for example.
The historic villages and towns of Majorca are also worth a visit. Valldemossa with its famous Carthusian monastery, Sóller with its historic tram, and Alcudia's historic old town are just a few examples of places that captivate with their unique flair. Stroll through the alleys, visit the local markets, and be enchanted by the Mallorcan way of life. Eberhardt Travel often includes these places in their tours.
If you have the opportunity, you should also visit one of the local festivals and markets. The Sineu Market, which is offered as an option on some tours, is a particularly authentic experience. Here you can experience Mallorcan traditions up close and try local products. These cultural experiences make your experience tour of Majorca truly special.
Group tour or rental car: How to organise your adventure trip
For your Mallorca experience trip, you have various organisational options. Guided group tours offer the advantage that the entire organisation is taken care of and you benefit from the local knowledge and safety of an experienced tour guide. Providers like Gebeco, Eberhardt TRAVEL, and SKR Reisen specialise in such trips. TourRadar provides a good overview of various providers.
Individual round trips with rental car, on the other hand, offer you maximum flexibility and the opportunity to plan your own route. Providers such as Berge & Meer and Dertour offer suitable deals for this. Journaway provides inspiration for self-drive tours.
What should you look out for when making your choice? Important criteria are the group size, the qualification of the tour guide, the included services, and the focus on sustainability. Gebeco, for example, values cultural and natural aspects in small groups, Eberhardt TRAVEL offers round trips with optional excursions and flexibility, and SKR Reisen focuses on small groups, active exploration, and sustainability. Our party tours offer a completely different type of group experience.
Finca or Hotel: How to stay and dine in Mallorca
When it comes to accommodation on Mallorca, you really are spoilt for choice. There is a wide variety of hotel types, from luxurious 4- and 5-star hotels to charming fincas and country inns in the interior of the island. The choice depends on your personal preferences and budget. SKR Reisen, for example, places emphasis on hotels in charming locations.
There are also different options when it comes to catering. You can choose between half board (breakfast and dinner), full board, or all-inclusive. If you want to get to know the local cuisine, it is recommended to dine in the numerous restaurants and cafés on the island. The Mallorcan cuisine in local restaurants, wine tastings in Binissalem, and a visit to the cafés and restaurants in Sóller are particularly recommended. Berge & Meer recommends "Vibes by Quince" in Porto Cristo.
For culinary enthusiasts, we offer special culinary trips where you can discover the diversity of Mallorcan cuisine. From traditional dishes to modern interpretations – there's something for every taste. Let us pamper you and experience the indulgent side of Mallorca.
April to October: Find the ideal travel time for your adventure trip
The best time to visit for an adventure trip to Mallorca is from April to October. During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm and sunny, making it ideal for outdoor activities. Spring and autumn are particularly recommended since the temperatures are milder and there are fewer tourists. Berge & Meer also recommends this time.
A special highlight is the almond blossom in spring, which transforms the island into a sea of white blossoms. This natural spectacle is a unique attraction that draws many visitors. The Mallorca Almond Blossom Tour 2025 is an ideal opportunity to experience this event.
Mallorca benefits from a Mediterranean climate, which allows for outdoor activities all year round. The hottest months are June to August, while it can be a bit cooler and rainier in winter. Plan your trip according to your preferences and activities. You can find information about the climate on various travel portals.
