Select participants and date
A low, salty wind pushes across the limestone and the path narrows—your guide pauses, points to a razor of rock above and tells a story older than the houses below. You are on a privately guided hike out of Pollensa, five hours of single‑day walking that stitches coastal bluffs, hermitages, and mountain ribs into a compact portrait of northern Mallorca.

Adventure Tips
Start at first light
Begin early to avoid heat on exposed limestone and to capture calmer winds and softer light for photos.
Bring 2–3 liters of water
There are limited water sources on routes; a hydration bladder or multiple bottles will keep energy steady during climbs.
Wear sturdy, grippy footwear
Terrain includes loose scree and uneven stone—light hiking boots or approach shoes reduce the risk of ankle rolls.
Tell your guide your priorities
This is a private tour—ask for a cultural focus, geology talk, or a gentler pace to match your interests and fitness.
