Hydrofoil surfing or called eFoiling.

One of the most modern trend sports for your water vacation is eFoiling. You can see the attraction of this sport at first sight. Because the sport combines en desire of people to connect with the water, but also with flying. In eFoiling you fly with a surfboard above the water surface. In a vacation program of a special kind it is called "eFoiling becomes an experience with Christian Habeck". The board is simply controlled by a small remote control that you hold in your hand. At the push of a button, the small motor makes you pick up speed or even float above the surface of the water.

Parasailing - Flying over the water

Parasailing is a gliding flight with a parachute over the water, where the parachute is pulled by a boat. This very fun sport may seem dangerous at first glance, but when you try it for the first time, you will find that it is actually very easy.

Surfing - A sport rich in tradition

Surfing is probably the most famous water sport. Everyone has dreamed of surfing at least once since childhood, when cartoons or commercials showed brave young men standing on a simple board facing huge waves. The sport, which is not exactly child's play for beginners, is one of the most popular water sports in the world and one of the main hobbies of young people who live or vacation near the sea.

A variation that is gaining more and more importance is windsurfing. Since windsurfing is easy to practice and affordable, it is especially suitable for people who have never practiced a water sport before and want to try something new. Windsurfing involves sailing on a board that resembles a surfboard and has a sail attached to it.

Diving - get to know the underwater world

Diving is a water sport that is suitable for both adults and children. The little ones are fascinated by what the seabed can hide. While diving in the places you visit, you will discover the marine world up close. You will experience fish and other underwater animals as well as plant life in a natural environment. Preparation for such an activity is minimal, with on-site training, but the experience is invaluable.

Be sure to plan a diving tour in advance as well as hire professional divers. They will not only be able to show you the best tours and spots underwater. Likewise, it is important that you learn the skills of diving before you can explore underwater for the first time.

Adrenaline and speed

Are you looking for a water sport that does not only bring the pleasant coolness of the water? You want to feel adrenaline and speed to feel really alive on vacation? Then you should choose rafting or even jet skiing.

Rafting is an outdoor water sport where you go down mountain rivers in an inflatable boat. Since it is an extreme sport, rafting requires special equipment, from specially designed inflatable boats to full wetsuits, helmets and life jackets, and it is propelled by paddles that also provide steering. You should take a rafting tour only in the company of professionals who are familiar with the water rapids.

Jet skiing offers you the opportunity to combine the desire for speed and water sports. The water scooter was first developed in the mid-1950s. Since then, it has been a hit among water sports enthusiasts and motor lovers. Speed, tight turns and great maneuverability make this sport, just like motorcycling on land, popular with people all over the world.

Wakeboarding - excitement like skiing

Wakeboarding is a water sport similar to water skiing. However, you should know one difference: Because instead of skis, a board similar to a snowboard is used. Combining surfing, snowboarding and water skiing, it has become one of the most spectacular water sports. It requires a lot of practice at first, because keeping balance as well as the required muscles cannot be learned overnight.

This sport is suitable for beginners who have great endurance and stamina, but also for sportsmen and women who are already familiar with various winter sports.

Planning an active vacation

Are you enthusiastic about all the sports listed here? Would you like to use your vacation to gain as many new impressions as possible? However, when planning your vacation, make sure to set realistic goals. Because contrary to what was planned, it is usually not possible to try out too many different sports on vacation. This is mainly because the sports use muscle groups that you hardly need in everyday life or other sports. This can lead to sore muscles, which will push you to take at least one day off.

In addition, you should lower your expectations of gliding through the waves on a surfboard or doing perfect pirouettes while eFoiling on your first day. Every sport has its own challenges that need to be mastered first. Especially with the waves on the coast of Mallorca, you will only succeed with perseverance and practice.
