Every boat trip, tour and activity we list, with our honest take on who each one suits.
Experience
The easy all-day option for groups and families who want two proper beach stops without renting a boat. You get six hours, a buffet and water toys, and the operator sells only half the seats.
Read more
Experience
For adults who want the big, loud, all-inclusive party boat on the Playa d'en Bossa side. It is a crowd event, with up to 200 people on the shared sailing, and the minimum age is 18.
Read more
Experience
A relaxed three hours for up to 25 people with drinks and water gear included. The route is not named on the listing, so book it for the boat and the swim, not for a specific cove.

Activity
The small-group paddle on the wild north coast, capped at 12 people. It starts on the beach at Cala Xarraca, goes into sea caves and stops at Cala Xuclar.
Read more
Experience
The snorkel-first boat, run by a dive centre. About 40 minutes in the water at each of two stops, a sea cave when conditions allow, and paddleboards on board.
Read more
Experience
The pick if you want Cala Salada without the parking battle. The boat drops you at the beach and collects you later, and on the way it stops at Cap Blanc, which the operator calls Ibiza's only aquarium.
Read more
Experience
A land-based night out, not a boat trip. Hosts walk the group from Big Putts to beach clubs on the promenade, into O Beach without queuing and on to Eden.
Read more
Experience
Same operator, boat size and three hours as the Salvador Ibiza all-inclusive trip. This one names possible coves on the west coast, serves tapas and has a 16:30 slot that ends with sunset off Café del Mar and Mambo.
Read more
Experience
Same operator and same two beaches as the Cala Bassa and Cala Comte day cruise, but it leaves in the afternoon, ends with the sunset off Café Mambo and caps alcohol at four drinks. Check in 30 minutes early.

Activity
A morning paddle with a specialist school, board and vest included, for up to 20 people. The catch is that the listing never says which stretch of coast you paddle, so ask before you book.
Read more
Experience
A dance cruise, not a beach trip. Three and a half hours with DJs past Cala Bassa and Cala Comte, two drinks in the ticket and no stop to swim.
Read more
Experience
Same kiosk, same bay and same two coves as the Cala Bassa and Cala Conta snorkel boat. The difference is an open bar with a welcome cocktail, a plate of Spanish snacks and a 16:30 sunset slot that returns after dark.
Read more
Experience
For adults who want a social boat day with music, food and drinks already covered. Every traveller must be 18 or older, and the boat carries up to 50 people, so expect a party crowd rather than a quiet sail.
Read more
Experience
Same dive centre, same bay and same two snorkel stops as the daytime Cala Bassa and Cala Conta snorkel boat. The difference is a 17:00 start, a sunset stop with cava and a minimum age of 14.
Read more
Experience
For families and mixed groups who want the classic west coast coves with drinks and tapas covered. The long stop is one hour at Cala Comte, and children from 6 to 12 pay a reduced rate.
Read more
Activity
For beginners who want to learn paddle surf with a boat as backup rather than from a crowded beach. The group tops out at 12 and the session on the board lasts about one hour.
Read more
Activity
For groups who want the longest time at Ses Illetes, about four hours, and are happy to bring their own food. Pickup is by zodiac from Ses Salines beach, and the boat takes 12 guests plus the captain.
Read more
Experience
For couples and small groups who want Formentera from a sailboat with no more than eight guests. It leaves from Cala Jondal in the south of Ibiza, not from a port, and lunch is your own.
Read more
Activity
For drivers aged 25 or over who want a guided off-road loop by quad. You pay per quad, not per person, and you leave a 100 EUR deposit that is returned after the tour.
Read more
Experience
For people who want a real sailing boat rather than a motor excursion, with no more than ten guests. Pick a shared seat or book the whole yacht privately, and let the skipper choose the anchorage by the wind.
Read more
Activity
For travellers who want to see Es Vedra from land, swim at three spots and end with a sunset, without driving. Groups are capped at eight and the Defender has no air conditioning.
Read more
Activity
For groups who want a restaurant lunch in Formentera built into the day. The catamaran takes 12 people, and if you book fewer you share it, with the meeting point in the south of Ibiza sent the day before.
Read more
Experience
For travellers who want a single long swim stop north of San Antonio and the return at sunset. It is the same boat and crew as the daytime Cala Comte trip, but it heads the other way and leaves at 17:00.
Read more
Activity
A west coast paddle for up to 14 people that includes snacks and the photos. It asks for a moderate level of fitness, more than the easy boat trips do.
Read more
Activity
The most detailed route of any kayak trip we list, inside the northeast marine reserve facing Tagomago. It starts with a paddling lesson and suits children and beginners.
Read more
Experience
For independent travellers who want to plan their own day in Formentera and just need the crossing. It is a transport ticket, not a guided tour, and the boat back may belong to a partner company.
Read more
Activity
A small morning class taught by a local teacher on a cliff above the sea near San Antonio, then a swim. It is a yoga session with a view, not a workout, and it is taught in English only.
Read more
Activity
For a group of up to 12 that wants a whole catamaran and two hours at Es Vedra. The price is per boat, not per person, and all sales are final except for weather cancellations.
Read more
Activity
For travellers staying around San Antonio who want one hour of yoga by the sea at a low price. Classes are capped at ten and taught in English, with 10:00 and 10:30 morning slots and evening slots timed to sunset.
Read more
Activity
The shared, per-person boat that circles the Es Vedra reserve, at a low price per head. It is a large boat, up to 100 guests, with one swim stop on the way back.
Read more
Activity
For confident adults who want to reach Es Vedra fast and at the controls. The price is per jet ski, not per person, and each jet ski carries one or two riders.
Read more
Experience
For small groups who want a guide to drive them round the southwest coast with long beach time at Cala d'Hort. It runs by car with up to six people and needs at least three travellers, or payment for three.
