You step aboard as the Mediterranean breathes warm and salt-sweet around the hull; the boat rolls gently and the coastline of southwest Ibiza unspools—sheer limestone cliffs, low scrub, and the compact silhouette of Es Vedrà rising like an island of stories.

You step aboard as the Mediterranean breathes warm and salt-sweet around the hull; the boat rolls gently and the coastline of southwest Ibiza unspools—sheer limestone cliffs, low scrub, and the compact silhouette of Es Vedrà rising like an island of stories.
The route threads past Cala Bassa and Cala Conta’s shallow turquoise shelves, slips into the quieter coves of Cala Tarida and Cala d’Hort, and skirts Illa Conillera, an island with pirate tales and a curious claim tying it to Hannibal. Offshore geology here is limestone folded and eroded by sea and wind, creating caves, shelves and the quarry-face known locally as Sa Pedrera or “Atlantis.” Es Vedrà itself is a fossil reef remnant with magnetic folklore that has drawn sailors and seekers for generations.
Expect active swim stops—snorkelling and paddleboarding in clear water, brief explorations of hidden caves from the boat, and a sunset option that places you in front of Café Mambo for golden light and Balearic beats. The pace is relaxed: multiple hour-long stops, time for SUP, masks and fins are provided, and drinks are included.
Practical guidance: wear swim shoes for rocky entry points, apply reef-safe sunscreen, and bring a light wind layer for evening runs. If you’re prone to seasickness, take precautions before departure—open-water stretches and the exposed Es Vedrà viewpoint can be breezy. Bring a waterproof phone case and a charged camera; the light between late afternoon and sunset is especially sharp. The trip suits casual swimmers and anyone wanting a mix of easy water activity, coastal scenery, and a front-row sunset experience.
Basic swimming ability is recommended—snorkelling and paddleboarding take place in shallow, clear water and life jackets are provided when appropriate.
Drinks (including bottled water and a selection of alcoholic beverages) are included; bring snacks if you prefer more substantial food between stops.
Departure is from the west coast area of Ibiza; exact boarding details are provided on booking and may vary by operator and season.
Yes—children are welcome but infants must sit on laps; assess their comfort with open water and boat motion before booking.
