Other stables offer riding lessons either private or with a group where kids can learn different skills and make friends!
All Things Nature
Mallorca has lots of exciting wildlife! A great spot to explore is off the Mallorcan west coast called Sa Dragonera which translates to “the dragon isle”. This little rock formation is home to plenty of little lizards that are super cute and fun to watch! Another way to get your dose of wildlife is the S’Albufera nature reserve where you can hike or bike your way around. This is a great bird watching spot!
Site Seeing
If your kids love the water then a boat trip on a glass bottom boat to see the wild dolphins or whales is a must. The summer is a perfect time to try and spot them and your kids will love watching the ocean through the glass bottom of the boat and seeing little fish dotted about!
For more sightseeing, the vintage orange train that runs from Palma to Soller is famous for watching the stunning landscape and don’t forget to bring your swimmers as the beach in Port de Soller is pristine and lined with great restaurants!
