What To Expect
Meet a driver at your Mallorca hotel for departure between 8:30am and 9:00am, then travel to the starting point for Cova des Coloms, arriving at roughly 10am.
Suit up with a wetsuit and caving helmet—professional caving shoes are available to rent on site for 5 €—then follow your guide into the Cova des Coloms. This is one of the few sea caves in Mallorca where visitors can swim, and it’s dramatic to see the soaring caverns from water level.
You’ll see long formations created by years of slowly moving water, and watch the ceiling of the cavern reflected in the clear, cool pools. With a guide to lead the way, this activity is a great introduction to the underground world, and a chance to learn about Mallorca’s dramatic, rocky landscape.
The 5-hour caving tour concludes at the starting point, where you’ll meet the driver for the return trip to your hotel. Your return to the hotel will be approximately at 4PM but exact time is not guaranteed.

What an unbelievable experience! Hiking and swimming to the caves was so enjoyable, and the views were breathtaking. Patrick was an amazing tour guide, and really went above and beyond to make the experience one we’d never forget. I’d recommend him to everyone. The cave itself was absolutely beautiful, like nothing I’ve ever seen. Thanks for a memory we’ll cherish forever!

Be ready for a mile long hike. This was an absolutely incredible adventure. The caves go on for a bit and there is combined walking and swimming through different part of the cave. It was so worth it!!

Had to change plans due to bad weather, not worth the money. We know it’s not their fault, but nor is ours and we still paid full price. We’ll never know how good is the real cave.

The hike along the ridge was quite a challenge in itself, we managed to keep up with the guide but he set a very fast pace and carrying the large rucksacks in the heat isn't for the faint hearted. Once we reached the cove it was a quick change into our swim gear, wetsuits, life jackets and helmets. What we didn't know was there was a chance that our jump and visit to the cave could be cancelled at the last minute (literally), due to sea conditions. It was at this point in our tour that the guide broke the bad news to us. The whole group were so disappointed, we all felt we could manage the sea conditions and were still keen to jump and swim but the guide was adamant we couldn't. He took us into a different cave, smaller, interesting but not what we signed up for. I understand he was worried about our safety but we had not been warned that this might happen, and we were already there, prepared and excited before he told us we were being moved to "plan B". We had not known previously that a plan B existed.

This adventure through Experience Majorca was a most excellent time! The guides were experience and knowledgeable, the hike was along a beautiful ridge, and the caving was an awesome experience we’ve never had before! 10/10 highly recommend! FYI was a benefit to have WhatsApp downloaded as this is how the company was in touch re: equipment and meet location.

I personally enjoyed this trip a lot and will remember it for the rest of my life. But it’s important not to be too afraid of water, waves and jumping. The trip starts with a 30 min hike, then you either swim 200m in the sea against the waves or you jump approximately 3m from a cliff and swim approximately 100m in the sea. Then you need to swim through a mediumsmall hole to enter the cave. But you get rewarded afterwards with an amazing tour through the cave with some more jumping in lakes (max 1,5m). I am telling this details because we weren’t told before and some in the group got scared and returned to the shore before entering the cave. If you are fit and not afraid of waves, caves and hight you will have an amazing experience. The guides will take care of you and know what they are doing.

Thank you so much for your review

Super schön anzusehen!
Die Ausflugsführer waren zwar sehr nett, sprachen aber kein deutsch (wir haben eine deutsche Tour mit "german guide" gebucht.
Demnach könnten wir leider nichts zu dem Erzählten verstehen.
Die Neopren-anzüge waren ziemlich kaputt und in kurzer Ausführung (man friert, dann sehr doll im Wasser, das Wasser in der Höhle ist eben auch viel viel kälter)
Man sollte wirklich darauf achten, körperlich fit zu sein, wir hatten eine Frau dabei die eben jenes nicht war. Das hält alle anderen auf und nervt dann.

De uitstap begon met een wandeling naar de baai. daar maakte we ons klaar om het water in te gaan. We moesten 300m zwemmen, dit was voor mij wel een uitdaging daar ik geen goede zwemmer ben maar ik werd goed geholpen door de gids toen ik een achterstand op de groep had. De grotten zelf waren echt de moeite om te zien. Leuke ervaring

Louis was onze gids deze dag wat een topper. Hij heeft ons veilig van en naar onze locatie gereden en tijdens de excursie was hij super behulpzaam. Dikke 10 voor Louis!

Die knapp 40 min Wanderung in der Hitze hatten es schon in sich, das schwimmen trotz Neopren und Schwimmweste gegen die hohen Wellen echt mühsam und der Einstieg in die Höhle braucht schon ein klein wenig mut. 12 jährigen würde ich das alles nicht empfehlen (kräftemässig), denn es gibt nur den einen Weg hin und wieder zurück. Keine Notausgänge oder Ähnliches. Aber diese Tour ist der Hammer! Super Abenteuer uns hat es wahnsinnig gut gefallen! Unser Guide war auch sehr auf die Sicherheit aller bedacht und hat uns viel erzählt zu der Höhle.

Morgens wurden wir von unserem Guide am Hotel abgeholt und sind dann zum Playa de Romantica gefahren. Dort angekommen wurde wir mit allen nötigen Sachen ausgerüstet.
Nach einer kurzen Wanderung sind wir am Strand der Höhle angekommen. Nachdem alle umgezogen waren ging es auch schon los. Ein kurzer Sprung von der Klippe und ab in die Höhle.
In der Höhle angekommen wurde uns einiges Interessantes erklärt.
Wir haben uns sehr sicher und wohl gefühlt. Es war ein absolutes Abenteuer und wirklich empfehlenswert.
Unser Guide hat uns super unterstützt und alles erklärt.
Es war ein sehr spaßiger und spannender Tag.

La experiencia fue increíble. El guía José es un crack, nos hizo todo muy ameno y siempre nos sentimos seguros. La página web de Viator para reservar es bastante mala, falta info, no recogen en Sóller y ese dato no estaba. Además tampoco vimos mucha opción para pedir los zapatos de espeleología.

Alfonso a été super sympa et la visite a été plus intéressante avec lui que seule. Il est venu me chercher et m'a déposer à mon hôtel

Très bonne expérience, très intéressante et enrichissante.
Paysage splendide, à couper le souffle.
Cependant c’est dommage que que le guide demande des Tips à la fin alors qu’ont avait l’intention de lui en laisser et cela coupe un peu l’envie....
(2 jeunes de 20 ans sans trop de revenu, on a payé 170€ l’activité + les pourboires)

Merci d'avoir commenté votre expérience, nous sommes heureux que vous ayez enfin pu observer les dauphins. Mais nous sommes attristés qu'ils aient eu un problème de mal de mer à bord. À bientôt

Excursion qui a commencé avec 40 minutes de marche pour arriver à une petit plage. De là, nous sommes partis à la nage à la grotte (avec la combinaison nous flottions donc c’était assez facile) et ensuite nous avons commencé à visiter la grotte. Expérience inoubliable et très intéressante !! Ça vaut le coup, le guide était très sympa et le paysage magnifique.

Die Höhlentour war ein absolutes Highlight des Urlaubs auf Mallorca.
War aber auch extrem anstrengend.
Zum Ablauf:
40min Wanderung zur Höhlenbucht
30min gegen Wellen anschwimmen, wenn man nicht von einer Klippe springen möchte. Nach der Höhlenbesichtigung das gleiche nochmal zurück. Wie das Kinder ab 12 Jahren mit dem Schwimmen schaffen sollen ist mir ein Rätsel.
Dir Höhle ist der Wahnsinn.
