    Fantastic Trip

    This full day trip was very well organised from pick up to drop off. The staff on board were very proffessional and helpful. We had an open bar and Pepe the barman looked after us all day. The lunch was Paella and wow it was delicious. The swim stop with snorkeling and paddle board was very relaxing and we had 3 hours free time in Formantera which was beautiful. The weather was a glorious 26 degrees.... We would highly recommend this trip.

    First of all, I messaged...

    First of all, I messaged the tour operator within the cancellation window because it appeared that we were going to have bad weather which means our tour would not be enjoyable. The tour operator assured me that they would cancel and refund us if we had bad weather. So I waited, assuming the operator would know best. The day of our tour, we got on the boat and it was raining, thundering and lightning. The water was very rough and there was no way to enjoy drinks as I was trying not to vomit from the rough waves. The boat itself is a literal ferry, that is not in good condition and is not really great for an “excursion”. We were on the boat with people who had literally bought ferry tickets. It was old and dirty. When we arrived in Formentera in the pouring rain, we were told to come back to the boat at 3:30 for paella and we "might" go somewhere else weather permitting. This was an incredibly frustrating experience. I didn't want to leave a bad review but unfortunately the company isn't interested in giving a refund. I wish they would have been honest and recognized the weather wasn’t nice and gave us our money back.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, We sincerely regret that the weather affected your experience, and we understand your disappointment. However, we would like to clarify that there was no rain when the tour departed; the bad weather started approximately 30 minutes after we set sail. We carefully monitor weather conditions, but unfortunately, nobody can predict with certainty how quickly they may change. Once at sea, we had to manage the situation as it developed, always prioritising our guests’ safety. Regarding your comments about the boat and the tour, we respect your opinion, but our consistently positive customer reviews reflect a very different overall experience. We are sorry your day did not meet your expectations, but we believe it is important to distinguish between an unexpected change in weather and a failure to deliver the service promised.

    Absolutely awesome!

    It was absolutely one of our favorite excursions. Everything was great, not rushed at all. Very chilled. Great paella and sangria :)

    Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ibiza.

    How much does Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ibiza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ibiza is not rushed.

    Is Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 115 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ibiza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar?

    +

    Around 40 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ibiza can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ibiza and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ibiza within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ibiza?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ibiza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ibiza Beach Hopping Cruise with Paddleboards, Drinks and Food 6h, Ibiza Pool Party and Club Tour including O Beach and Eden Club, 3 Hours All Inclusive Boat Trip Ibiza. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ibiza?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ibiza?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar?

    +

    Included: Lunch; Water activities: swimming stop, snorkeling, paddle surf and infalatables; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Excess Baggage. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar?

    +

    Our staff will be there for Check-in, in front of the beach, next to Yokubo Restaurant. Meeting 30 minutes before departure. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Ibiza to Formentera Cruise with Snorkeling, Paella & Open Bar?
