Program Highlights

Spend overnight at the La Victoria natural area in Alcudia between the mountains and sea, maneuver down a rocky path to the beach of Coll Baix, and snorkel, swim, kayak, and paddleboard.

Travel back to the 14th century when you explore the unique circular Bellver Castle, then climb to the top for sweeping views of Palma, the harbor, the sea, and the Tramuntana mountains.

Dive into the blue water of Cabrera National Park and watch colorful fishes dance with you in the waves—who knows, you might even encounter an inquisitive octopus!

Compete in a scavenger hunt in Palma’s historic Olivar market, practice your Spanish with the vendors, and feast your eyes on all the delicious Mallorquin produce.
