About this tour
A 10-hour boat journey from Ibiza to Formentera combining sailing, swimming and island time.

What to expect
Expect a relaxed pace. You'll board with breakfast, then the boat heads out into the Ses Salines reserve—scenery is the draw here. Two proper swim stops follow: first Espalmador with its shallow, clear water and reef life, then Ses Illetes, where the sand and visibility are genuinely excellent. Lunch happens on deck mid-afternoon. From there, most of the day is yours—drop anchor in Formentera town, rent a scooter, hike to a lighthouse, sit in a beach bar. The crew stays put; you pick when to catch the ferry back (within the given window).
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and a hat—there's minimal shade on deck. The water activities are self-serve; staff will show you how to use the SUP and snorkel kit. Formentera's main town has shops and restaurants within walking distance of the ferry port. Infants must sit on a lap; pregnant travellers should avoid this one.
