Palma Tours and Trips

I chose this walking package as a 30th anniversary trip after reading a travel photography book about Mallorca when 12 years old - so it's been a dream of mine ever since, and Mallorca was everything I hoped it would be! I liked that this package offered a solo walking experience but with detailed notes and maps as guides. The moderate-challenging rating is accurate, as there are options to do paths that are both easy and challenging. We like the moderately challenging routes so that's what we chose. The accommodations were excellent - clean, unique, with wonderful service and breakfasts. We arrived early on a Friday and chose a shorter walk for that day, so we actually got 3 walking options in at Lluc. What I loved about the trip was that each hike was different and challenging in various ways. It included woodlands, agricultural areas, craggy mountains, coastal terrains and enough charming stone villages, plus goats (in trees). We used a combination of the GPS maps and the physical notes, and there was only one tricky spot where the GPS seemed to diverge from the notes and we ended up on private, locked property. I did tell the company about that problem. I hope to visit Mallorca again and I am now interested in other walking packages offered by the company.

My husband and I took this first departure of 2024 in the first week of April, the weather was cool but sunny and the trip was fantastic. It was our first visit to Mallorca and a great introduction to the northwestern part of the island and this mountain range. There are several small towns, or villages, that you will visit on your hikes, including Soller, Puerto Soller, Deia, Lluc and others. Several of the hikes through olive groves and orange orchards had stunning mountain and sea views and were scented with orange blossoms as we hiked through. We were on a level 3 departure, graded so for the ascents, descents and rocky paths – be prepared for the rocks and bring your hiking boots and poles. The locations of both hotels in Puerto Soller and Lluc are excellent on this trip, so unique, and Lluc in particular, is so tranquil and scenic.

Varied walking in mountainous and coastal scenery. Good to have the opportunity for city viewing in Palma and Soller. Some rocky descents which were quite challenging as required a lot of concentration.

Very well thought through itinerary in beautiful and sometimes spectacular locations. Exceptional guiding from Jacob who was flexible to the needs of the group and a font of local information, positivity and encouragement.

This was a great holiday. The walking were challenging but well planned and Jakob our guide took great care of us brining extra treats along the way. The accommodation was nice, and I liked the contrast between busy Port de Soller and quieter Lluc. A couple of walks ended with the opportunity to swim which was particularly lovely!

A fabulous week of walking with lots to offer: fantastic views, opportunities to swim in the sea, a chance to ride on the Soller Tram and the old Palma train, numerous restaurants to try with delicious food, comfortable accommodation and an excellent tour leader. We were also lucky to have perfect sunny May weather.
