★★★★★ 4.9/5 · 4 h activity duration

From €75 free cancellation

Here, the cave does not begin at a doorway. You first hike along the coast for roughly 40 minutes, then swim about 300 metres to Cova des Coloms. Inside, your guide leads you through limestone formations, vertical cave systems and natural lakes, with no previous sea-caving experience or underwater diving required.

Is it worth it?

It can be especially worthwhile if you want a physical adventure combining coastline, swimming and caves rather than a passive sightseeing visit. The main trade-off is the effort itself: roughly 40 minutes of hiking and about 300 metres of swimming. If you are not confident in the water or have limited fitness, a less demanding activity may suit you better.

💡 TourBookGo tip

Do not focus only on the fact that it is suitable for beginners. The technical side requires no previous experience, but swimming ability still matters: assess whether you can comfortably manage around 300 metres in the sea plus the preceding hike.

Before you book

What is included, what to bring and what may change

The tour includes a guide, insurance, light, helmet, wetsuit, water shoes and a flotation aid. Hotel pickup and drop-off are part of the booking only when you specifically select that option.

Bring sports shoes for the hike, swimwear, sunscreen, at least 1.5 litres of water, a snack and any medication you need. If sea conditions make access to Cova des Coloms unsafe, the provider may switch to other caves that do not require sea entry; this safety-related route change does not qualify for a refund.

Who Cova des Coloms is best for — and who should skip it

It is a strong fit for active travelers aged 12 and over who want to try sea caving for the first time and feel comfortable both walking and swimming. No previous technical experience or underwater diving is required.

The activity is not suitable for anyone weighing more than 110 kg or for people with reduced mobility. And while it is beginner-friendly technically, the physical effort remains real: the hike and roughly 300-metre swim deserve serious consideration.

Before booking: swimming, equipment and sea conditions

You must provide your height, weight and shoe size when booking. If you need a language other than English or Spanish, state it during the booking process; French tours are advertised but not guaranteed.

Bring sports shoes, swimwear, sunscreen, at least 1.5 litres of water, a snack and any necessary medication. Alcohol, drugs and valuables are not permitted. If the activity itself is cancelled, an alternative date or activity will be offered subject to availability.
