Ibiza boat cruise: Snorkeling, paddle boarding, cliff jumping

Jump in the water, paddle out, snorkel the shallows

A half-day boat cruise in Ibiza takes you to Cala Conta and Cala Bassa, two protected coves with turquoise water and soft sand. You choose what to do at each stop: snorkel the shallows, paddle board out from shore, jump from the rocks if conditions allow, or simply float and eat fresh fruit. All drinks (sangria, mojitos, beer, wine, champagne, soft drinks) come with the ticket.

The experience

The boat holds a small group and runs a relaxed pace, which means you're not rushing between stops or sitting through a sales pitch. You'll spend roughly two hours across Cala Conta and Cala Bassa, the two main anchors of the day. Cala Conta has views of small islands dotting the coast and water so clear and shallow it reads like a swimming pool. Cala Bassa sits in a wooded cove of ancient sabina trees and draws families because the sand is soft and the slope is gentle. Between the two, you'll drift past San Antonio Bay and its rocky points, and the crew will point out the landscape as it passes.

At each stop, the equipment is already on board: snorkeling gear, paddle boards, and everything you need to use them. If the sea is calm enough, you can jump from the rocks at Cala Conta. A moment that only happens on days when conditions are perfect. If not, you swim and snorkel instead. The water stays shallow enough for children and strong enough for anyone who wants to paddle out farther. Between swims, the boat serves fresh fruit (melon, pineapple, oranges, peaches), and keeps the drinks flowing. Nothing is extra. Everything is included.

The route can shift depending on the sea that day. If conditions turn, the crew will take you to a different cove or spend more time in the bays that are protected. This flexibility is why the boat works year-round: the destination changes, but the experience stays the same.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 5 years); Infant (under 3): 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.

What's the water like at Cala Conta and Cala Bassa?

Cala Conta has turquoise water that is shallow and clear enough to see the sand bed, with small rocky areas to explore and views of islands offshore. Cala Bassa sits in a protected cove with soft golden sand, clear turquoise water, and a gentle slope that makes it safe for children. The sea bed is mostly soft sand.

Can I really jump off the rocks, or is that just marketing?

Cliff jumping happens only on days when sea conditions are perfect and safe. If the water is rough or the swell is high, the crew will skip it and you'll snorkel and paddle board instead. It's not guaranteed, but it's a real option when the day allows.

Do I have to use the water sports equipment, or can I just relax on the boat?

You choose. Snorkeling gear and paddle boards are available if you want them, but you can also stay on board, eat fruit, drink, and watch the coast pass. The pace is relaxed enough that either works.

What happens if the sea is rough on the day I book?

The route changes based on sea conditions that day. The crew will take you to whichever coves are protected and safe, so you still get two hours at beautiful beaches and all the same activities. Just possibly in a different location than the standard route.

Are the drinks really all included, or are some of them extra?

All drinks are included: sangria, mojitos, beer, wine, champagne, soft drinks, and water. Fresh fruit is also included. Nothing is sold separately on board.
