Xaby was such an excellent host for the day! He was friendy, energetic, easy to chat to and made sure we were all confident and comfortable during the experience. We drove through gorgeous little towns and up to the top of Randa which was stunning. Would reccommend this experience to anybody in Mallorca :)

We went to Mallorca in ‘off-season’ but managed to find this activity. It was an amazing experience and our activity leader Aby was really informative and professional but still made it fun for the group. I definitely recommend this activity for both the winter season and summer season.

Driving the buggies over hill and dale in great weather was an absolute experience. The parts have a funny sound and the open driving is very casual. The three hours fly by with a short break, which is also a must. Was a lot of fun and our guide was super relaxed too. thanks

If you are looking for relaxation, this is the place for you! Few people, very calm vibes, perfect atmosphere to clear your head. You can choose between three intensities for the massage.

Super great experience!! I recommend it to everyone and anyone. Amazing cooking tips as well as some of the best food I’ve ever had in Europe! Top quality ingredients and instruction.
