• How fit do I need to be?

  A good level of physical fitness is essential to fully enjoy the daily activities, which include rock climbing and hiking. The crags we’ve selected feature a wide variety of grades, allowing climbers of all abilities to find routes that suit their skills and goals. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned climber, there will always be something to challenge and inspire you.

  Majorca boasts exceptional limestone, offering a perfect playground for Deep Water Soloing (DWS). The rock formations are filled with jugs and pockets, creating exhilarating and fluid movement over the sea. Powerful, dynamic moves define the experience, making it both exciting and physically engaging. Also known as Psycho-Bloc, DWS is as much a mental test as it is a physical one, pushing you to overcome fear and trust your movement high above the water. Mallorca’s unique limestone cliffs and deep-water landings make it one of the world’s top DWS destinations, and proficient swimming skills are strongly recommended—falling into the sea is all part of the fun!

  To make the most of this adventure, we recommend a minimum climbing level of 6b/5.11a, which will give you access to a wider range of routes. Less experienced climbers can still have a fantastic time with DWS, enjoying the challenge at their own pace—just come ready for a fun, physical, and unforgettable experience!

  While the tour will take you to numerous world-renowned deep water soloing spots, it’s important to note that you will not have a mountain guide by your side and that the guides cannot be held responsible for any accidents that may occur when participants independently choose to practice deep water soloing.

• What if I’ve never climbed or sailed before?

  This tour is perfect for those with a minimum grade of 6b because of the overhangs that you’ll mostly be climbing. This doesn’t mean that less experienced climbers will not enjoy deep water soloing, just be prepared for a physical climbing style!

  You will spend your week on a 45 to 55-foot Monohull or Catamaran sailing boat. This magnificent boat has 4-5 two-people cabins, a spacious living room, well-equipped kitchen, and a deck perfect for late night hang-outs. With her, you’ll sail countless coves and experience the island the way it was meant to be experienced! If this is your first time on a sailing boat and you don’t know what to expect, here is what you can expect from life on board:

  • • On board, everyone is responsible to clean up after themselves.
    • Teamwork makes the dreamwork! Be ready to participate in cooking, prepping food, washing the dishes, etc. Don’t worry if you don’t know how to cook or if you hate to wash the dishes, you can always swap the job with another crew member.
    • When at sea, it’s important to use water and electricity conservatively. You may be asked to use water and electricity with moderation while out at the sea.
    • Don’t worry about any sailing knowledge. The skipper will be there to ensure your safety and will give you precious tips on how to live on board.
    •  If you wish to learn how to sail or if you are an experienced sailor and want to help your skipper, they will be glad to operate the sails with you and teach you anything you want to know!
• What do I need to bring?

  Rigid suitcases are forbidden! Please bring a suitcase that can be easily folded and stored once empty. It is important to save space onboard.

  Here’s a list of the equipment we suggest you bring:

  • • Backpack for daily tours
    • Hiking shoes
    • Climbing shoes
    • Chalk bag
    • Warm pullover and a waterproof jacket
    • A pair of long pants and a pair of short ones
    • Water bottle
    • Bathing suit and a towel
    • Toiletries (sunscreen, bug spray, toilet paper, etc.)
    • Sunglasses
    • Camera — optional

  Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.
