Imagine zipping across Ibiza’s shimmering waters on a powerful hydro-jet, with the wind in your hair and the promise of crystal-clear bays ahead.

Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or just craving a relaxed day exploring with friends or family, this three-hour trip offers an exciting way to see the island’s coastline in style.

What really excites us about this experience is the intimacy it offers—being able to cruise privately with up to 12 people, enjoying snacks, drinks, and sightseeing without the crowds. Add to that the chance to snorkel and paddleboard in some of Ibiza’s most renowned spots, and you’ve got a memorable day planned.

The Thrill of Speed and Style on the Water

This tour offers a rare combination of adventure and luxury. The hydro-jet boat, boasting 880 hp, is a true beast on the water, capable of whisking you across Ibiza’s coast with ease. We loved the feeling of freedom that comes with this kind of power, especially when zipping between stops. It’s a truly exhilarating way to see the coastline, especially if you’re used to more sedate boat trips.

The vessel itself is well-equipped for comfort. It features a shade area and two sunbeds, perfect for catching some rays or escaping the sun when needed. Plus, the onboard toilet is a considerate touch for a tour of this length. The boat’s capacity of 12 ensures everyone gets plenty of space to relax or move around, making it feel exclusive but not cramped.

Itinerary Breakdown: Every Stop Counts

Stop 1: San Antonio Bay

The cruise kicks off in the scenic San Antonio Bay, an iconic spot famed for its lively atmosphere and stunning scenery. Here, you’ll stop at two calas—potentially Cala Basa and Cala Conta, or, if the sea’s not cooperating, the route might shift northward to Punta Galera and nearby calas. Expect around 50 minutes for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. Reviewers love the way the crew feeds the fish, creating a lively underwater scene. One reviewer noted, “Snorkeling was excellent, and the crew fed the fish so we were surrounded,” which truly highlights how interactive and engaging this part can be.

Stop 2: Cala Bassa

Next, the boat moves to Cala Bassa, a favorite for its crystal-clear waters and sheltered bay. If conditions are right, you’ll spend approximately 45 minutes here enjoying snorkel and paddleboard activities. The water is described as some of Ibiza’s best, with reviewers calling the experience “a lovely experience” with great equipment and beautiful scenery. The inclusion of paddleboards and snorkeling gear means you don’t need to bring your own, making it a hassle-free experience.

Stop 3: Cala Comte

Finally, the boat heads to Cala Comte—another well-loved spot famed for its vibrant blue waters. Again, about 45 minutes are allocated for swimming, snorkeling, or relaxing. Many reviews emphasize the good quality of the snorkeling gear, the friendliness of the crew, and the great spots for pictures and swimming. If the sea conditions permit, the boat can also enter a large sea cave en route to Cala Bassa, adding an extra dash of adventure.

Optional Sunset Stop

If you opt for the sunset version, the tour will include a special extra stop to watch the sun dip below the horizon, with cava served onboard. This is a perfect way to unwind after a day of action and soak in some of Ibiza’s most beautiful evening views.

What’s Included and What’s Not

Included in the price are snorkeling equipment, paddleboards, bottled water, and a selection of drinks including beer, sangria, cava, and white wine for those over 18. The fuel surcharge and a qualified skipper are part of the package, ensuring smooth sailing. This all adds up to quite a lot of value, especially considering the private nature of the tour and the quality of amenities.

Not included are meals, which means bringing snacks or planning a meal afterward, and alcohol for under 18s. The tour’s focus is on sightseeing and active participation, so it’s best suited for those comfortable with a few hours of water activity and some casual drinking.

What Travelers Say

The reviews highlight several consistent themes. One reviewer praised the “wonderful crew” and called it a “magical experience,” while another raved about the “friendly crew and excellent snorkeling” that fed the fish, creating a lively underwater scene. Many mention the beautiful spots visited, the good equipment, and the relaxed yet adventurous atmosphere.

One reviewer specifically appreciated the advice given by the booking contact, Miguel, who suggested the best days to go depending on the weather, which underscores the importance of choosing good conditions for this tour. Several reviewers emphasized the quality of drinks and snacks, describing them as a highlight alongside the scenery, which makes the experience feel both luxurious and laid-back.

Practical Considerations and Tips

Because the tour depends heavily on sea conditions, it’s wise to check the weather forecast before booking. If the sea is too rough, the tour might be canceled or rerouted, which could disappoint eager explorers. Booking in the morning or early afternoon might give you the best chance for calm waters.

The price of around $1,388 for a group of up to 12 is quite reasonable considering the exclusivity, private setting, and included amenities. It’s a great value if you’re looking for a combination of adventure, comfort, and scenic beauty—especially if you’re traveling with a small group or family.

Keep in mind that the tour is quite active—snorkeling, paddleboarding, and zipping around at high speed—so it’s best for those comfortable with water activities. Also, bring your own sun protection, as the boat offers some shade but plenty of sun exposure is inevitable.

Who Is This Tour Best For?

If you’re someone who loves a bit of adrenaline combined with stunning scenery, this tour is perfect. It’s ideal for groups wanting a private, tailored experience rather than a crowded boat ride. Families with older kids, couples, or friends looking for a mix of activity and relaxation will find it suits them well.

However, if you prefer a more leisurely, all-day adventure or are worried about sea sickness, you may want to consider longer or gentler options. The tour’s focus on quick stops means it’s best suited for those who want a vibrant, action-filled afternoon rather than a slow-paced cruise.

The Sum Up

This private hydro-jet snorkeling and cave tour offers a dynamic way to experience Ibiza’s coastline, combining speed, scenic beauty, and water fun all in one package. The intimacy of a private tour, paired with the thrill of a powerful boat and the chance to explore some of the island’s prettiest calas, makes it an experience worth considering. The inclusion of snorkeling and paddleboarding gear along with drinks makes it a well-rounded day out, especially for those who value both adventure and comfort.

For travelers seeking a personalized, exciting, yet relaxed way to see Ibiza’s coast, this tour provides a fantastic blend of nature, activity, and luxury. Just be sure to check the weather, arrive prepared, and enjoy the ride—this is one seaside adventure that’s hard to forget.
