The experience

The boat leaves San Antonio Bay and heads toward the nature reserves around Cala Bassa and Cala Comte, with roughly 45 minutes each way. Where you stop depends on the sea. If conditions are good, you'll anchor near Cala Bassa and Cala Comte. If not, the crew shifts to nearby alternatives like Punta Galera to keep everyone safe and comfortable. At each stop, you can snorkel, paddle a SUP board, or swim in the water while the boat stays anchored nearby.

The sea cave near Cala Bassa is the centerpiece: if conditions allow, the boat navigates inside and you can explore the underwater world around it by snorkel or paddle board. All snorkeling and paddle board equipment comes on board. A welcome cocktail greets you as you leave the dock, and the bar stays open throughout the trip. Fresh fruit arrives at the first stop and light snacks at the second, with beer, sangria, soft drinks, water, cava and white wine available.

You choose between an afternoon departure or a sunset option. Both trips run around three hours from San Antonio, with the sunset version timed to watch the light change over the water before returning to port after dark. Check in 15 minutes before embarkation. The minimum age is 15. Alcohol is only for guests 18 and older. The boat is not suitable for people with reduced mobility.

Is this one for you?Book the afternoon option if you want the full day to recover and explore at your own pace once you're back on land. The sunset departure works better if you're staying near San Antonio and want to end the evening on the water as the light fades.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English and Spanish.

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 do I actually do on the snorkeling stops?

At each cove, you can snorkel to explore the underwater world, paddle a SUP board along the coast, or swim in the water. All equipment is provided on board and the boat stays anchored while you're in the water.

Can I enter the sea cave by boat?

If sea conditions are good, the boat navigates into the sea cave near Cala Bassa and you can explore the underwater area around it by snorkel or paddle board. Rough seas mean the crew anchors nearby instead so you can still snorkel and paddle in the area.

What's included to eat and drink?

A welcome cocktail is served as you leave the dock, fresh fruit arrives at the first stop, light snacks at the second, and the bar stays open throughout with beer, sangria, soft drinks, water, cava and white wine available.

What happens if the sea conditions are rough at Cala Bassa and Cala Comte?

The crew shifts to alternative coves like Punta Galera and nearby spots that offer the same snorkeling and paddle boarding, keeping safety and comfort first.

Is there a difference between the afternoon and sunset departures?

Both trips run the same route and stops. The sunset option is timed so you watch the light change over the water before returning to port after dark, while the afternoon departure returns while there's still daylight.

What's the minimum age to join?

The minimum age is 15 years old. Alcoholic beverages are only served to guests 18 and older.
