Birding Tour

The treasure island

Dragonera Island is located off the western coast of Mallorca. Here we will look for the endemic and shy Balearic warbler, as well as Peregrine, Blue-rock thrush, Crag martin, etc. Between April and October, the dramatic northern cliffs host the largest colony of Eleonora’s falcon in the Balearics. Spring and autumn also offer the great spectacle of the bird migration, with many species passing through.

Dragonera is home to a unique subspecies of the endemic Lilford’s wall lizard; endemic plants, breathtaking scenery and a rich marine environment are also among the main natural values. The port of departure is about 1 hour and 30 minutes by car from Port de Pollença and the total time of the tour is 8 hours.
