Snorkeling in San Antonio, Ibiza: SUP & Hidden Coves

Paddle and snorkel at hidden spots the road can't reach

A 3-hour snorkeling and stand-up paddleboard activity in San Antonio, Ibiza, where you swim and paddle at secluded coves and sea caves along the west coast, with a native Ibizan captain and expert guide. You choose between two routes: Cala Bassa, Cala Conta, Pirate Tower and sea caves, or Blue Lagoon, Cala Salada, Punta Galera and Cala Gracioneta. The boat has a shower, bathroom, shaded areas and sunbeds. Complimentary drinks and snacks are served throughout.

The experience

The boat leaves Club Náutico San Antonio and heads out along Ibiza's west coast to spots that have no road access. You'll stop at two or three secluded bays depending on which route you pick (either the Pirate Tower and sea caves side, or the Blue Lagoon and Cala Salada side), and spend time swimming, snorkeling in clear water, and paddleboarding at your own pace. The expert guide adapts the experience to your level, whether you're trying SUP for the first time or you've paddled before.

The boat itself is the base: it has a shower and bathroom onboard, shaded areas to rest between activities, sunbeds to lie on, and music playing. Complimentary beer, soft drinks and water come throughout the three hours, along with snacks. Snorkeling gear and paddleboards are provided and ready to use when you arrive.

The trip ends sailing past Café del Mar and Café Mambo on the way back (the two venues that define Ibiza's sunset scene), so you see why they matter before you decide whether to visit them on land. The guide speaks English and Spanish.

Is this one for you?The meeting point is Club Náutico San Antonio with no hotel pickup, so this works best if you have access to public transport or are staying within reach of the marina. The boat does the traveling for you. You arrive at the dock and the captain takes you to the coves, which means you see the secluded spots without renting a car or navigating the island yourself.
