9 Nature & Wildlife Areas in Majorca That You Shouldn't Miss
The dreamy island that provided inspiration to Chopin and Miró now has a reputation as a spring break beach destination. Don't worry, though, if you're vacationing over elementary school spring break-- there's plenty for the younger crowd. Marineland's dolphin and sea lion shows and children's beach attract families. And if you have a Thomas-obsessed toddler, the antique train that travels between Palma and Soller is a must-see.

A guide will teach you amazing facts about these ancient birds, in a safe and respectful environment. Tours are interesting, fun and very surprising. If you prefer not to go for a guided tour, you are welcome to meet the ostriches by yourself. Please check website for current prices and timetables.

This place is quite unique. It is a bit rough around the edges but for us this only added to the charm. The owners are very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. If they got tired of answering my children’s many, many questions it didn’t show! We had a fabulous time learning all sorts of interesting facts and were lucky enough to come home with an ostrich egg thanks to a very kind Italian family. This has gone to school so we can share the ostrich love with our friends in Newcastle!

Marvellous day out with stunning beaches and amazing landscape. On the boat trip from Colonia de Sant Jordi you get around 4-5 hours free time in Cabrera. Don't miss the views from the castle, but otherwise just head to the beaches, which are the highlight of Cabrera. The views from anywhere on the island are just stunning and the stop at the Blue Cave on the boat trip on the way back to Mallorca is wonderful. Make sure you take food and LOTS of water because there is only one bar on the whole island and they don't offer very much. It it always feels hotter on Cabrera than on Mallorca so make sure you have hat, sun cream and water. Wear comfy shoes for walking because the pathways are very rocky and uncomfortable on the feet.

I love this area. It is absolutely stunning. There are two beaches of beautiful whitish sand. It's very hot here as it is surrounded by trees and rocks. The sea is beautifully clear. It's worth a day out here. You can go by car " Hire one for the day" or if you are lucky enough to stay in Cala Dor there is a boat trip from Cala Gran beach which you should be able to book through your hotel. It's a good day out.

We come here for a bike ride and had fantastic fun doing route 3 which is 11.5km, although total ride is 14km if you factor in cycle to/from start of route from the bike hire shop. You can get maps and start route from the information centre inside the park. Most the bike hire shops we found on google shut between 11am - 3pm but there is one a few hundred metres from the entrance to the park. Hire was €7 per bike for 4 hours. Some reviews say that Route 3 is badly sign posted, I could not disagree more the route was sign posted and marked all along the way so could not be easier. It is mainly cycling on dirt tracks not well maintained so can be hard work at times.

Visited on a cloudy day, something to do when we couldn't sun bathe. Really pleasantly surprised, even without binoculars or a decent camera you can still appreciate this bird reserve and I got a couple of shots with mobile phone. Easy to find as is on Google maps, coming to this area of majorca for years, didn't know this was here. Small children will love ducks, we saw a heron and a white wading bird, lots of fish. Peaceful, well maintained with odd benches to sit and viewing platforms.

We stayed in Port Pollensa and visited this park a few times. Took a bit of investigating to find all the paths and hides as they are not signposted but a good map is available from La Gola. There are hides and high viewing platforms which overlook wetlands and open lakes. Lots of different birds, butterflies and flowers.
