The Itinerary: What to Expect on This Mallorca Adventure
Starting Point: Cala Romantica Coast
Your adventure kicks off with a 30-minute walk along the clifftops at Cala Romantica, a stretch that offers sweeping views of Mallorca’s east coast. We loved the way this initial walk set the tone—peaceful, scenic, and a gentle warm-up before the more active parts. The group size tends to be manageable, and your professional guide will point out geological features and tell stories about the landscape, which adds depth to the experience.
Reaching Cala Falco: The Beach and the Options
After the walk, you’ll arrive at Cala Falco, a charming, quiet beach. Here, you’ll be faced with two choices:
- Rappelling down the cliff to sea level, or
- Swimming from the beach to the Tsubene Cave, about 200 meters away.
According to reviews, the rappel is non-compulsory, which is perfect for those who want to try it but are a bit wary. The guides, like Nicky and Toni, are described as experienced and friendly, making participants feel confident. If you prefer swimming, you’ll need to be comfortable in the water and have decent swimming skills, as the journey to the cave is a bit of a swim.

In terms of timing, expect about 45 minutes exploring the cave. Reviewers note that the guides led with professionalism and enthusiasm, making even the most timid feel safe. Photographers in the group appreciated the opportunity to capture unique shots of the stalactites and stalagmites.
