About this tour
A five-hour boat journey from Ibiza to Formentera combining swimming, food and on-water fun. The trip crosses through Ses Salines Natural Park with stops at Espalmador and Ses Illetes for swimming in turquoise shallows. Breakfast and a freshly prepared paella lunch anchor the day, while an open bar, paddleboards, snorkelling gear and a water slide keep things social. The pace is deliberately relaxed—expect music, conversation and the kind of effortless coastal cruising that makes half a day feel complete.

What to expect
You'll board in Ibiza and sail toward Formentera, moving through a marine reserve dotted with small islands and limestone cliffs. The boat slows at two designated swimming spots where the seabed shelves gently and the water stays clear and warm. Between swims, food and drinks flow steadily—breakfast arrives early, paella is served mid-morning. Expect a sociable atmosphere: music plays, people move between decks, snorkelling happens in bursts rather than as structured activity. The water slide and paddleboards suit those keen to stay active; others lounge with a drink and a book. The five-hour window means no long passages at sea, just enough time to feel properly away without fatigue.
