Ibiza Sunset Boat Tour: Paddle Boards, Kayaks & Snorkel

Summary

Ibiza’s west coast coves, fresh fruit and music at sea

You’ll join a small group on a laid-back Ibiza sunset boat tour with paddle boards, kayaks, and snorkeling gear included. Fresh fruit and Spanish tapas are served as you drift past coves like Cala Bassa or Cala Conta. With drinks flowing and music playing, you’ll watch the sun dip behind Café Mambo — it’s less about perfection and more about feeling part of the island for an evening.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit right away — I almost missed the boat. Literally. The taxi dropped me at the wrong side of San Antonio port (classic), so I jogged along the water, sandals flapping, trying not to spill my bag of snacks. When I finally spotted the group near the Salvador Ibiza sign, our guide Miguel just grinned and handed me a cold drink before I could apologize. “No rush here,” he said. That set the mood for the whole afternoon.

The boat itself felt more like someone’s relaxed backyard than anything fancy — lounge beds scattered around, people already barefoot with their feet up, music drifting out of a speaker (someone had picked old-school Ibiza house). We cruised past Cala Bassa and Cala Conta; Miguel pointed out little coves where locals swim after work. At one stop, he sliced up melon and peaches for us — honestly, nothing tastes as sweet as fruit after swimming in saltwater. The sea was cooler than I expected for June but in a good way. I tried paddle boarding for about five wobbly minutes before giving up and floating on my back instead.

We anchored outside Café Mambo just as the sky started changing colors — pinks that looked fake, honestly. Everyone got quiet for a bit except for one guy who kept trying to get his champagne photo just right (I get it). There was this smell of sunscreen and citrus from someone peeling an orange nearby. Miguel poured another round of sangria and told us about growing up in Ibiza — how his dad used to fish off these rocks when there were barely any tourists around. I still think about that view sometimes when things get noisy back home.
