I'm Joan, 21 years old, born and raised here on the island. I speak fluent English and German (B2), and I love sharing adventurous spots that most tourists never find (far from the crowded beaches and typical routes). My tours are dynamic, interactive, and perfect for curious travelers who want more than just a standard city walk. If you're up for exploring the coast, jumping into crystal-clear waters, and hearing some local stories along the way, I'm your guy.

Tour description

AVAILABLE LANGUAGES: English, German and Spanish

Description of the tour:

This small-group experience, limited to a maximum of 10 people, offers a unique way to explore Mallorca beyond the typical tourist spots. You’ll discover hidden coastal paths, swim in clear waters, and visit a historic chapel, all while enjoying a relaxed and personal atmosphere.

First, we’ll meet at the starting point, where I’ll introduce the route and explain what makes this area special. From there, we’ll head to an old military base in Bendinat, an interesting historical site with great views of the coastline. As we pass by, I’ll share some insights into its past and local significance.

Next, we’ll follow a forest path leading to a hidden cove, a quiet spot known mostly to locals. Here, we’ll take a swim in the crystal-clear sea, away from the crowded beaches. You’ll have time to explore small sea caves, float in the water, or simply enjoy the surroundings.

Finally, we’ll continue along a scenic coastal route until we reach our last stop: the Ermita de Portals Nous. This small chapel, set on a cliffside, offers beautiful sea views and a perfect ending to the experience. Before we say goodbye, I’ll be happy to share local tips and recommendations to make your stay in Mallorca even more special.
