Ibiza: Paddle Surf Excursion with Caves & Cliff Jumps

Summary

Paddle surf ibiza adventure with caves cliff jumps and secret beaches

You’ll join local guides to chase Ibiza’s best paddle surf spots—maybe caves today, maybe quiet coves tomorrow—always following where the weather leads. Expect laughter (and maybe a splash), time inside cool sea caves, and moments drifting under sun-warmed cliffs. Gear is included and no experience needed—just bring your curiosity.

What’s the experience like?

“If you fall in, just laugh — that’s what we do,” our instructor Toni grinned as he handed me the paddle. I liked him instantly — sunburned nose, salt-crusted hair, and this way of speaking that made you feel like you’d known him for years. We met at their little shop (it smells faintly of neoprene and sunscreen), then piled into a van with boards strapped on top. The plan? Find the best beach for paddle surf in Ibiza, wherever the wind felt right that morning. I’d never done anything like this before — actually felt a bit nervous about standing up on the board, but Toni said everyone wobbles at first.

The water was glassy when we finally slid our boards in — not silent exactly, but soft, like the sea was holding its breath. There were maybe seven of us, all different ages; one guy from Madrid kept cracking jokes about falling in. The coast looked different from out there — cliffs rising up sharp and pale against the sky, little caves carved out by years of waves. At one point Toni showed us how to paddle inside a cave (I bumped my board on the wall and he just laughed). The air inside smelled cooler somehow, almost mineral. Someone dove off a low ledge into the blue-green water and I swear my heart jumped watching them disappear under for a second.

I didn’t expect to relax so much — I mean, it’s exercise but also not? You drift sometimes and just listen to your own breathing mixed with cicadas from somewhere up in the rocks. We stopped at a tiny cove where you could swim or just float next to your board if you wanted. A few tried cliff jumping (not me — maybe next time), but mostly we just hung out there for a while, sun on our faces. Toni took some photos (he caught me mid-laugh when I nearly lost my paddle), which he sent later as proof that yes, I did stand up eventually.

I still think about that view back towards Ibiza’s coast — light bouncing off the water in those weird patterns you only get around midday. It wasn’t perfect; I got salt in my mouth and my arms were tired by the end. But honestly? That’s kind of what made it real.
