3. Perfect for Couples, Families and Small Groups
It’s calm, immersive and enjoyable for all ages, making it ideal for private tours, special occasions or gourmet experiences.
4. Ideal for Winter, Autumn and Spring
These seasons offer the best conditions for truffle activities, providing fresh air, beautiful countryside, and mild temperatures.
A typical truffle hunting experience in Mallorca includes:
Guided countryside walk
You’ll explore fields, forests and natural paths at a relaxed pace, surrounded by silence and fresh mountain or rural air. Your English-speaking guide will accompany you throughout the experience, explaining each step and making sure the group feels comfortable and engaged.
Demonstration with a trained truffle dog
The dog is the real star of the experience. Watching it work, sniff and finally locate the truffle is both fascinating and emotional.
Digging up the truffle
With the guide’s help, you gently uncover the truffle hidden beneath the soil — a moment that feels like finding a buried treasure.
