Formentera Round Trip from Playa d'en Bossa: Island Free Time
A short boat ride gets you to an island with no schedule but your own.
A round-trip ferry from Playa d'en Bossa to Formentera lets you spend a full day on the island with complete freedom to explore. The boat crosses in 45 minutes each way, landing at La Savina port. You pick your return time from several daily options, so the length of your stay adjusts to what you want to do. The return boat may be operated by a different company than your outbound crossing, depending on which schedule you choose.

The experience
The ferry leaves Playa d'en Bossa and arrives at La Savina, Formentera's main port, after a 45-minute crossing. From the moment you step off, the island is yours to navigate however you like: rent a scooter, walk the beaches, find a quiet cove, eat lunch at a waterfront restaurant, or simply sit and watch the water. There's no guide, no itinerary, no group to keep pace with. October returns run at 5 pm and 6 pm, so you can stay as long as the daylight holds.
The round-trip ticket is your only inclusion, and the crossing itself is straightforward. One detail worth noting: the return boat may not be the same vessel or company as your outbound one. You might depart on Sea Experience and return on Sea Cruises or Aquabus, depending on which return time you select. Check the schedule before boarding so you know which boat to look for at the dock.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 12 years); Infant (under 4): free.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
How long is the ferry ride each way to Formentera?
The crossing takes approximately 45 minutes in each direction, so you have roughly 8 to 11 hours on the island depending on which return time you choose.
What can I do once I arrive at Formentera?
La Savina port is where you land, and from there you're free to explore however you like. Public transportation is available nearby if you don't want to rent a vehicle, or you can walk to nearby beaches and villages.
Can I pick different departure and return times?
Yes, you choose your outbound and return times separately and combine them as you prefer. October return times are 5 pm and 6 pm, so you can adjust how long you stay based on what you want to do.
Will the same boat take me back to Ibiza?
Not necessarily. The operator collaborates with Sea Experience, Sea Cruises, and Aquabus, so your return crossing may be on a different company's vessel depending on which return schedule you book. Check the schedule before you board to know which boat to look for.
Is there anything included besides the ferry ticket?
The round-trip ticket is the inclusion. Pickup is included, so you don't arrange separate transport to the port. Everything else (meals, rentals, activities on the island). You arrange on your own.
