You can’t go wrong with Mallorca. Apart from its usual appeal—the sun, the sea, and the food—this charming island is a star in the rock climbing world, and it has been for some time now. The best way to show you these unique spots is by a sailboat, so over the course of 8 days, you’ll explore some of the most iconic climbing venues in the world. Whether it’s the Porto Pi where the sport was revolutionized by Miguel Riera and his deep water soloing or the legendary Es Pontàs arch climbed by Chris Sharma, every single spot of the tour is a climber’s haven. Not only are you getting a rock climbing vacation of your dreams, but also friends and memories for life.

Early wake up is followed by morning sailing along Mallorca’s shores to arrive by noon at the Cala Ferrera bay. The place is ideal to approach deep-water solo. There are also plenty of easier routes for beginners to have their first approach at Santanyí. You’ll find endless options here: crimps, holes, slopers, overhanging walls, and vertical cliffs. The first night is spent in this area.
-
Today you’ll anchor right in front of the wonderful Varques beach—it’s the favorite camping spot for climbers visiting the island. There’s going to be a fantastic selection of climbing routes: some short and easy ones (up to 10-15 m) and some harder and higher ones!
-
Head to Porto Cristo, a picturesque fishing village featuring turquoise waters. Spending the day here will allow you to bask in the sun, swim, hike, or climb the Cova del Diablo and Torre dels Falcons. These are some of the best deep water solo areas in the world, so make sure to take advantage of it!
-
Once again, anchor at another exquisite area—today it’s Portocolom. It’s the perfect location for both beginners and seasoned climbers approaching DWS for the first time: some will enjoy easier routes, while others will try and scale difficult, longer routes. You’ll decide whether you want to spend the night in port or in a bay nearby.
-
Enjoy a relaxing cruise to the Sa Nau Bay. This is a spectacular bay harboring some of the best climbing in Mallorca, primarily on holes of various dimensions.
-
This Mallorca cruise wouldn’t be complete without visiting the famous Es Pontàs arch. In the area, there are also easier lines, so everyone will have fun. On the way back, you’ll stop at Porto Pi—this could be an interesting site for the climbing community, since rock climbing there started in the early 80s. Return to Palma’s harbor by 6 pm. You’ll have a goodbye dinner at a restaurant in downtown Palma.

Your cruise has come to an end. Pack up and leave the boat before 9 am. If you wish to stay longer, just ask your guides for some recommendations.
-
There will be no mountain guides on board as the tour is intended to practice deep water solo only. There will be no climbing guides leading the daily activities on land, and guests who wish to try deep water soloing will do so at their own risk. If you decide to attempt deep-water soloing, you’ll require a pair of climbing shoes and a chalk bag.
