The boat slips away from San Antonio as sunlight slides across low cliffs; salt on your lips, the engine a steady hum. In less than half an hour the shoreline opens into a series of coves—Cala Gració, Gracioneta, Salada and Saladeta—where limestone cliffs drop into clear water and the sea dares you to dive in.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.
Operated by Capitán Nemo · San Antonio (Sant Antoni de Portmany), Balearic Islands
The boat slips away from San Antonio as sunlight slides across low cliffs; salt on your lips, the engine a steady hum. In less than half an hour the shoreline opens into a series of coves—Cala Gració, Gracioneta, Salada and Saladeta—where limestone cliffs drop into clear water and the sea dares you to dive in.
The first stop is the Cap Blanc Aquarium, an ancient coastal cave once used for storing fish and now home to native Mediterranean species. The geology is rugged: layered Miocene limestone sculpted by waves into small caverns and submerged ledges where Posidonia seagrass holds fragile life. Culturally, this stretch of Ibiza reflects a seafaring past—fishermen’s coves and hidden anchorages that shaped local coastal traditions.
After a guided look at coastal species, the boat heads to the Margaritas Islands in the Ses Balandres reserve. Expect a swimming stop in sheltered water, simple snorkeling over rock and seagrass beds, and a chance to float above schools of small fish and the occasional octopus tucked into a crevice.
Practical guidance: bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a snug mask if you prefer your own, and a light wind layer for the return. The excursion runs about three hours and is suitable for most swimmers; operators supply snorkel gear but basic swimming comfort and mobility on a small boat help the experience. Time your trip for morning or late afternoon to avoid the hottest sun and the busiest harbors.
Yes—snorkel masks and fins are included with the excursion, though some travelers prefer to bring a personal mask for fit.
The tour is designed for all fitness levels, but non-swimmers should inform staff; flotation devices are available and the swim stop is in sheltered water.
Total time is approximately three hours, with the aquarium visit and a swimming/snorkel stop at the Margaritas Islands included.
Full refund available if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure; trips may be canceled in bad weather with a refund.
