Join us on this one-week walking tour across the Tramuntana Mountains of Mallorca and leave with a greater understanding and appreciation of this spectacular corner of the Balearic Isles.
Our walking groups are limited to a maximum of 16 people which means we can use smaller, locally-owned accommodation and transport companies. This means that more of your money goes to the Mallorcan's themselves rather than to international hotel and transport chains. We also make best use of the island's public buses to take us to the start of our walks, this helps to reduce our carbon footprint and further support the local economy.
One of the highlights of this tour is our 2-night stay in Lluc Monastery, where the fee that we pay to stay there goes towards the upkeep of this important site – a place of special spiritual significance since pagan times. During our walks we make sure that we stick to marked paths and our tour leaders are keen to explain about the local flora and fauna of the area to our groups.
This tour is very much in keeping with the island’s tourism development strategy which aims to reduce mass tourism and its negative impacts and instead promote small group or independent travel to the island's places of beauty and to make visitors more aware of the need for the conservation of the island's fauna and flora and protection of its natural resources. As Mallorca is a small island, water is a very precious resource and all the hotels we use try to preserve water by not washing towels and sheets unnecessarily and much of the food is sourced locally or even grown by the hotel owners. One of our walks also begins at Cuba reservoir which is one of Mallorca's key water resources, so a visit here emphasizes to our clients the importance of water as a resource to the island population.
This small group operator is just celebrating its 30th year and its activity holidays are very popular. Arriving at a village by bike or on foot immediately fascinates the locals and offers you an opportunity to interact as well as being great exercise and allowing you to reach far flung areas. Activity holidays are a great way to escape, get some fresh air and take life at a slower pace, allowing time for thought and reflection. In completing an active holiday, there is an element of personal development and improvement which can really help travellers focus on doing things differently or better.

We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
