Self supported circumnavigation of Mallorca by kayak

Join a TeamBelinda Kirk

Hey everyone,

I am planning to complete a self-supported circumnavigation of Mallorca by kayak during this coming summer 2026, either at the beginning of July (7/07 to 18-21/07 approx.) or at the end of August/beginning of September (25/08 to 4-7/09 approx.)

I’ve calculated roughly a bit less than 400km of paddling in order to complete the circumnavigation, and the goal would be to have a paddling rhythm of around 35km per day. So, counting a couple of extra days of margin to account for potential bad weather and sea conditions that would make progress impossible, the whole expedition would take between 11 and 14 days.

I plan to bivouac on the beaches and carry all the necessary food aboard, while buying drinking water along the way.

I’ve done similar trips before (solo and with a partner). This time I don’t have a partner, so I’m posting this because I’d be happy to share the expedition with another adventurous soul.

People interested should be fit enough to sustain the aforementioned 35km paddling rhythm a day, be comfortable paddling in strong wind and moderately rough sea conditions, and ideally have some self-rescue skills. A good sense of humor is also highly appreciated.

Besides that, only enthusiasm and a positive mindset are needed :)

I found a place in Mallorca where we can rent the whole kayak + equipment for 30€/day, and the idea would be for each individual to cover their own expenses (flight + kayak + food, etc..).

If anyone is interested, please don’t hesitate to contact me — I’ll be happy to share further logistical details and discuss any questions you may have.
