The Experience

We’d barely pushed off from the shore in Ibiza when I realized how much quieter it felt out here — just the soft clack of paddles and that salty breeze you only get this close to the water. Our guide, Marta, showed us how to hold the paddle (I kept switching hands for some reason), then we practiced a bit before heading out. The sun was already warming my shoulders but the water looked almost glassy, like it hadn’t woken up yet.

Paddling along the coast, Marta pointed out these little caves carved into the rock — she told us stories about pirates hiding treasure there (not sure if she was serious). We stopped at this tiny beach I’d never have found on my own. The sand was rougher than I expected, bits of shell mixed in, and there was this faint smell of pine from somewhere inland. It’s funny, I always thought Ibiza was just clubs and crowds but out here it felt like another world.

Snorkeling right off the kayak was new for me — I fumbled with the mask at first (Marta laughed and helped me adjust it). Underwater, everything went quiet except for my own breathing. Silver fish darted around some rocks and I swear one stared straight at me before zipping away. We had time to float or just sit on the kayaks and listen to nothing much at all. That silence sticks with me more than anything else from that day.
