The experience
Cala Bassa sits on the west side of the island, accessible only by boat. You'll snorkel in the turquoise water, then the boat cruises past a pirate cave before heading to Cala Conta, one of Ibiza's most photographed beaches, with clear water and dramatic cliff backdrops. At Cala Gracio, the last stop for water activities, you paddle board or swim depending on the cruise time you choose. Throughout the afternoon or evening, complimentary beer, cava, rosé, white wine, soft drinks and bottled water keep the pace easy.
The boat arrives at Cafe Mambo as the sun drops toward the horizon. On the sunset cruise (18:00–21:30, or 17:00–20:30 from mid-August through October), you watch the famous DJs perform in the open air while the light changes. On the afternoon cruise (14:00–17:30, or 13:30–17:00 from mid-August through October), the focus stays on the water: Cala Gracioneta replaces the sunset moment, and you're back on land by early evening. A live guide in English narrates the route and the sites.

Top questions
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's the water like at Cala Bassa and Cala Conta?
Cala Bassa has turquoise water and is only reachable by boat, so it stays quieter than the main beaches. Cala Conta is famous for clear water and dramatic cliff backdrops. It's one of Ibiza's most visited coves when you arrive by boat.
Do I need my own snorkeling gear or is it provided?
Snorkeling equipment is included with the cruise, so you don't need to bring your own.
What's the difference between the sunset and afternoon cruises?
The sunset cruise (3.5 hours) ends at Cafe Mambo to watch the sun set and hear the DJs play. The afternoon cruise visits Cala Gracioneta instead and finishes earlier in the day. Both include the same water stops and activities.
Is there food included, or just drinks?
Drinks are included: bottled water, beer, cava, rosé, white wine, and soft drinks. Food is not part of the package.
Can I paddle board at all three coves?
Paddle boards are available throughout the cruise, and you can use them at the water stops depending on conditions and your preference. Swimming and snorkeling are also options at each location.
