Ibiza: Beach Hopping Cruise w/ Paddleboard, Food, & Drinks

1.Beach Hopping Cruise w/ Paddleboard, Food, & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,224 reviews · 6 hours · from $81Our pick

Sail from San Antonio with Float Ibiza along Ibiza’s west coast. Stop at Cala Bassa, Cala Tarida, and Cala Comte, then use paddleboards, snorkels, bodyboards, slides, and floats in a sheltered bay. Johnny and the crew keep the day moving with food, drinks, music, and clear instructions.

“Great day of fun. Three different swim spots. Generous food and alcohol for the day. Owe them some gratitude. We booked this not realizing the meeting spot is a 30 minute drive from the cruise terminal (chat GPT had assured me otherwise 😉). They were helpful when we arrived late and missed the boat, routing us to the beach where the first stop was, and the rest of the day went off without a hitch. But overall highly recommend.”

It was an amazing day and we had a wonderful time. Our tour guide Liam was great and very knowledgeable. Kayaking was really easy and fun. Stop at Racoon island was definitely much more what we expected. Was really great to see and feed some of the racoons that made experience really enjoyable.

We only booked this excursion for the power snorkeling, sea scooter, that is advertised. It was not available and the tour guide said they no longer carry them. The tour is named “power snorkel adventure” and that is what is pictured in the advertisement. We were not informed that they no longer carry them until we were at the location for snorkeling.
