What to Expect
The session begins at Cala Romántica, a beautiful beach near the resort area of Calas de Mallorca. From here, you'll set off on a short 1.6km hike through a typical Mediterranean landscape filled with juniper, white pine, and rosemary. The route leads you to Cala Falcó, a secluded cove where you’ll get kitted out in your equipment before heading to the cave entrance. The approach to the cave involves a 250-metre swim in open water along the base of the cliffs, so participants should be confident in the sea.
On reaching the cave mouth, you'll pass through a short siphon and enter the vast chambers of Cova de Coloms. Inside, you’ll be surrounded by dramatic formations—stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and crystal-clear pools, created by natural processes over millennia. You'll spend around two hours exploring this underground world, guided by a qualified monitor, before retracing your route back to Cala Romántica. The total experience takes approximately five hours, with opportunities to rest, swim, and enjoy the coastal scenery along the way.
Location
Cova de Coloms is located on the eastern coast of Mallorca near Cala Romántica, also known as Estany d'en Mas. The area is easily accessible from several directions—whether you're coming from Manacor, Portocristo, or Portocolom, the routes are well-signposted and simple to follow. The final approach involves following signs to the beach once you enter the residential area.
The surroundings are a mix of pine woods, scrubland, and sea cliffs, providing a scenic start and finish to the adventure. The cave itself is accessed via Cala Falcó, a small cove that offers a quiet place to change into gear and prepare before swimming to the entrance. Although hidden, the cave is well-known for its unique interior and is considered one of Mallorca’s top aquatic caves for beginners.
