Zwemmen en grotten in Cova des Coloms

Me recogieron en el punto que indiqué a la hora acordada y nos dirigimos a cala Romántica para emprender el camino. Una vez allí, tras colocarnos toda la indumentaria, tuvimos que tirarnos al agua desde el acantilado porque el mar estaba revuelto, ya empezábamos bien. La entrada a la cueva fue una maravilla: había que agarrarse a una cuerda para acceder. Una vez en el acceso, tuvimos que entrar buceando. Me encantó la experiencia, a veces piensas que no eres capaz de hacer algo, pero descubres que sí lo eres. Ya en el interior y con las linternas encendidas, fue una auténtica pasada. Contemplar esa maravilla, ese lago, tirarte y nadar en él... la adrenalina a tope. Son de esas aventuras que nunca te cansas de contar y que haces una vez en la vida, al menos en mi caso. Si repito, lo haré en otra cueva para no perder el recuerdo que tengo de la primera vez. Una gran experiencia, a la cual contribuyeron los guías, que estaban pendientes de mí en todo momento ya que era la única española del grupo . Lo recomiendo cien por cien.

What an unbelievable experience! Hiking and swimming to the caves was so enjoyable, and the views were breathtaking. Patrick was an amazing tour guide, and really went above and beyond to make the experience one we’d never forget. I’d recommend him to everyone. The cave itself was absolutely beautiful, like nothing I’ve ever seen. Thanks for a memory we’ll cherish forever! Kurt W

The hike along the ridge was quite a challenge in itself, we managed to keep up with the guide but he set a very fast pace and carrying the large rucksacks in the heat isn't for the faint hearted. Once we reached the cove it was a quick change into our swim gear, wetsuits, life jackets and helmets. What we didn't know was there was a chance that our jump and visit to the cave could be cancelled at the last minute (literally), due to sea conditions. It was at this point in our tour that the guide broke the bad news to us. The whole group were so disappointed, we all felt we could manage the sea conditions and were still keen to jump and swim but the guide was adamant we couldn't. He took us into a different cave, smaller, interesting but not what we signed up for. I understand he was worried about our safety but we had not been warned that this might happen, and we were already there, prepared and excited before he told us we were being moved to "plan B". We had not known previously that a plan B existed.
