The first sport to make it to this list of accessible sports activities is golf. In Mallorca, you have the option to practice your golf swing on a introductory course. The course includes theory and practice. During the latter, you can get up and play with the assistance of a para-golfer that gives total independence. More experienced golf players are also welcome to come play.

2. Surfing

Fuerteventura is one of the Spanish Canary Islands that lie just off the African coast. The waves from the Atlantic Ocean make this island the ultimate destination for wave surfing. Ideal for those who have always wanted to overcome fears and barriers, learn how to surf or just experience the motion of the ocean on a surf board. We are happy to help you plan your adapted surf camp!

Maybe the lesser known sport from all the sports in this list, but certainly not less adventurous. And, it does not involve water as compared to many of the other activities. If you are a nature-love, this one is for you! This adapted 4×4 vehicle tour allows you to enjoy Mallorca’s beautiful mountains. The device is super easy to steer and the route can be designed to meet your needs and wishes.

This tour leaves from Barcelona and takes about 8 hours in total. Ready for the flight of your life?
