Snorkeling in Mallorca: kayaking, caves and homemade pizza

You paddle to the snorkel sites instead of riding there in a boat.

Snorkeling in Mallorca combines kayaking, cave exploration and a meal: start at Port des Canonge with a helmet-lit walk into an underground cave, then paddle out to hidden beaches and rock formations in the Serra de Tramuntana to snorkel and watch marine life, finishing with homemade pizzas prepared on-site. The activity runs 4.5 hours and suits all fitness levels; a live guide speaks English or Spanish.

The Experience

Port des Canonge is where the day begins. You get a helmet with a light, walk into a sea cave with your guide, and spend time inside photographing and exploring before heading back out. The cave break gives you a moment to rest and eat a snack before the water part starts.

Once you're on the kayak, the guide teaches you basic paddling technique, then you head toward the beaches and natural rock formations along the coast. This is where the snorkeling happens—you choose when to get in the water, how long to stay, and you'll see fish close enough to feed them by hand. The pace is yours; there's no schedule pushing you from one stop to the next.

The meal at the end is not a packed lunch or a restaurant reservation. Homemade pizzas are prepared right there, warm and ready after you've been in the water. It's the kind of detail that makes the day feel complete instead of rushed—you've moved through three different things (cave, kayak, snorkel) and eaten something real at the end of it.

Is this one for you?At 4.5 hours, this fits into a half-day without eating the rest of your schedule—you're back by early afternoon. The mix of three different activities (cave, paddle, snorkel) means you're not doing one thing for hours; the variety keeps the pace interesting and the guide handles the logistics so you just show up and move through each part.

Top questions

What's the cave part of this snorkeling trip like?

The cave at Port des Canonge is a sea cave you walk into on foot with a helmet and light. You explore the interior, take photographs, and have time to rest before returning the same way you came in—it's not a diving or swimming section, just an underground walk.

Do I need kayaking experience to book this?

No. The guide teaches basic kayaking techniques at the start of the water portion, and the activity is suitable for all fitness levels. You paddle at your own pace to the snorkel sites.

What happens during the snorkeling part?

You paddle to stunning beaches and natural rock formations in the Serra de Tramuntana, then snorkel in the water. You can feed marine life and spend as long as you want in the water; the guide is there but you're not on a rigid schedule.

Is the pizza included, or do I pay extra?

Homemade pizzas are included and prepared for you after the water activities. Snacks are also included throughout the 4.5-hour experience.

What's included in the price?

Snorkeling and kayaking equipment, the cave helmet with lighting, snacks during the day, and homemade pizzas at the end. A live guide in English or Spanish leads the whole experience.
