The experience

The boat leaves San Antonio Port and navigates through the bay to two stops where you get in the water. At Cala Bassa, you have roughly 40 minutes to snorkel the cove or try the paddleboard if you want to. The crew hands you a mask and snorkel and shows you how the gear works. The same happens at Cala Comte, where the water is the same blue but the rocks and fish are different. Between the two stops, the boat passes a sea cave, whether you can enter it depends on the sea state and wind that day.

The boat carries snorkeling sets for everyone, life jackets for non-swimmers, and paddle SUPs on board. Bottled water is included. Drinks like soft drinks, beer, sangria and cava come along for the sunset part of the trip. The boat has a sun deck at the front and a shaded area, so you can sit out of the sun between swims if you need to. The crew speaks English and Spanish.

On the return to San Antonio Port, the boat stops to watch the sunset from the water. This is why the trip can run later than the scheduled 3 hours, depending on when the sun actually goes down that day. The exact route and stops can shift if sea conditions change or if jellyfish warnings come in. Free parking is available in front of the Lidl supermarket near the departure point. Check with the operator for the exact meeting location before you book.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided 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.

How much time do I actually spend in the water snorkeling?

You get roughly 40 minutes at each of the two coves, Cala Bassa and Cala Comte, to swim and snorkel. The crew helps you with the snorkeling equipment at each stop, so you can start right away.

What's included in the boat trip and what do I need to bring?

Snorkeling sets, life jackets, paddleboards, bottled water, and drinks for the sunset are all on the boat. You bring your own swimsuit and towel. The operator recommends bringing sunscreen and a cover-up for the sun deck.

Can I paddleboard instead of snorkeling, or do both?

Paddle SUPs are on board and available at both stops, so you can paddleboard, snorkel, or switch between them depending on what you feel like doing that day.

What happens if the sunset is late or the sea conditions are rough?

The boat may return later than the scheduled 3 hours because sunset timing changes through the summer. If sea conditions are poor or windy, entry to the sea cave may not be possible, and the boat's route or stops can shift for safety or if jellyfish warnings come in.

Is this trip suitable if I've never snorkeled before?

Yes, the crew helps you with the snorkeling equipment at each stop and shows you how to use it. Life jackets are available for non-swimmers. The minimum age is 14, and the trip suits all fitness levels, though it is not recommended for people with reduced or impaired mobility.

Where does the boat depart from and how do I find the meeting point?

The boat leaves from San Antonio Port. Free parking is available in front of the Lidl supermarket nearby. Contact the operator before you book to confirm the exact meeting point, as they may send specific instructions.
